Summary from Novel Updates:
Nie AnAn woke up one day and realized that she had transmigrated as the villain’s adoptive sister.
In the novel, the villain conquered left and right, and his always woe-is-me younger sister was always cleaning up after him. The two of them were rightfully the grim reapers in the book.
The very next day after her transmigration, the soft and delicious Nie AnAn passed out from seeing blood.
And so —
The shivering competitors noticed that their nemesis’s sister had turned to a delicious treat — and wanted to protect her;
The original male lead noticed that young Miss Nie, who had been chasing after him this entire time, wouldn’t even give him the time of day anymore — and felt unbalanced;
Young Master Nie was very happy that his parents had two kids back then– she was so cute;
A certain cold blooded and violent villain had been going home earlier and earlier, and the way he talked was becoming gentler and gentler.
Villain Brother: AnAn, come over. Let me try some of it.
Nie AnAn: Hold on, gege. It’s not ready yet.
2.5 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
This book was okay. It wasn't remarkable, but it wasn't terrible. It's been a few months since I read this book, but I don't remember much other than the summary.
Nie AnAn was basically a Mary Sue who conquered people through their stomachs. Her adoptive brother was a typical male lead who was cold and arrogant but only nice towards her. Surprisingly, it wasn't super dramatic and didn't have a lot of face slapping incidents like I thought it would since it had the missing children of wealthy families trope and such. That's probably because it's a short book.
I'd read this book if you're in the mood for something short but sweet. Unfortunately, I didn't like the last chapter about the other side couple. I feel like it came out of nowhere, and I didn't like the way he went about things. This is from the same author of The CEO’s Villainess Childhood Friend, which has a slightly similar transmigration plot, but I liked it better.

2 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
Ye Zhi is your stereotypical beautiful Mary Sue with a complicated family background, and Gu Ran is your stereotypical cold but handsome, rich male lead. The author likes to talk about how beautiful their eyes and hands are at least every fifth paragraph, which gets boring after the first few chapters. The villains are obvious and two-dimensional. There's not much conflict, which is nice if you're looking for a quick read, easy read.

Summary from Novel Updates:
In the most popular 3D keyboard online game “Tomorrow”, an ordinary player, Zhang Zhiyin has a less common hobby–that is to visit Dr. Y, the ultimate boss – giving him gifts and hugs.
As a game produced NPC, the other side naturally has no response, but Zhang Zhiyin still insisted on visiting him rain or shine for 363 days. Until one day he decided to give up the game, the result was being hit by a car.
Since then, he has been dreaming every night in which he will cross into the realistic world of ‘Tomorrow’ and return to the magical journey of normal life during the day.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was a surprisingly cute story considering it's an unusual combination of genres. There's online gaming, zombie apocalypse, and transmigration. Throw in cute pet and hilarious transformations, and you've got a mix of fluff, action, adventure, gore, and romance. Then you have a main character who decisively fell in love with the big boss in the game and a bunch of misunderstandings in the beginning lol. All in all, a fun read.
Zhang Zhiyin's decision to fall in love with an AI was a unique point that I really liked. He has his reasons for choosing an algorithm over humans, and it shows how much his past shaped him to this day.
I think this was my first zombie apocalypse story, and I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely interested in reading more of this genre now.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This is actually the first reverse harem novel I read where the main character actually has to work on getting all of her capture targets to fall for her. Usually, the capture targets naturally fall for the main character's Mary Sue charms in these types of books lol. That, or the characters go off script and only a few people fall for the main character.
Instead, this book's main character has failed 999 times to get all seven capture targets to love her without any of them blackening and ruining the storyline. Because of her many failures, she's now a great actress and a manipulative schemer working on getting everyone's favorability meters up. She knows the capture targets' thoughts and emotions so well that she can predict their actions.
For her 1000th attempt, she decided to try the white lotus route, and it's hilarious reading her inner thoughts compared to what she says aloud. She's always cursing them out and roasting them lmao. The extra chapter was pretty interesting.
If you haven't read reverse harem or otome game novels before, the terms may be confusing at first, but the translations are really good at explaining everything.
