Summary from Novel Updates:
This novel is also named “The game I got is different from yours” | “Game is different, what to do” | “Every time the target is the big BOSS” | “Why is the BOSS of Horror games always the most handsome?” | “They are running for their lives, I am falling in love”… and so on.
The protagonist is a face-con – he likes good-looking people, can’t say no to a pretty visage and is filled with thoughts of love. One day he bonded with a target-capture system where he can travel from world to world and experience love with the most handsome (key point!) target!
The number of players in each game is not set. The protagonist has only one target – the most handsome one. As he falls in love, he realizes… the other players perhaps, maybe, probably… have Horror? Survival? Escape-type games?
3 STARS - I LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
For once, we have a bisexual protagonist! Granted, this is a BL novel, so Xu Ziyue falls for the male lead, but this face-con doesn't discriminate against genders! A beautiful face is a beautiful face!
Even though this is a horror mystery genre, it's really more mystery than horror, so don't let the horror tag scare you off.
Anyway, I loved the doll arc. It was so cute but so sad. Also, I just want Jin'er to have a happy resolution!
The last arc and ending was pretty surprising. Not a terrible ending but pretty abrupt. Luckily, the extra kind of filled in the gaps of their future.

Summary from Novel Updates:
Shen Huai was abandoned by all his artists and took over the one no one was optimistic about, the unpopular newcomer Ye Cang.
Ye Cang caught fire all over the country. Everyone thought it was due to Shen Huai’s influence. Only Shen Huai knew that his artist was a reborn rockstar.
Later, Shen Huai also signed the reborn “Legendary Film Queen,” the unsurpassed “Golden Supporting Role,” the “Queen of All Love Songs,” and the “Greatest Superstar in the Past Hundred Years.” Thus, he breathed a sigh of relief; he didn’t have to return to inherit billions of dollars.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
- Cute romance between the main leads
- Romance is not the focus of the book
- Side characters are fully fleshed out and dynamic (I love Song Yimian's growth!)
- Female characters are not villainized (instead, you get beautiful friendships and rivalry)
- Never forgetting the constant struggle for your passion and how it's worth it
- Found family trope
- Unexpected humor sprinkled throughout
- Your Dad's constant infamy

Summary from Novel Updates:
Xu Xinyi woke up and had obtained a system, the system told her that she was a second female lead who would have a miserable end and that she has 2 choices, to endure all grievances and change for the better, or to walk the same road as the original and become a vicious woman.
She chose the second option.
One day Yi Yang couldn’t tolerate it anymore and, at the end of his patience, he demanded a divorce.
Xu Xinyi’s heart felt ecstatic when he put the divorce agreement in front of her but she looked at her husband with a sorrowful, heartbroken look on her face, then she waited for her husband to sign.
—“Hurry up! Sign quickly! I can finally leave this hellhole!”
But Yi Yang, who could suddenly hear Xu Xinyi’s thoughts, threw away the pen and said, “Not signing.”
***
Ever since Yi Yang discovered that he could hear Xu Xingyi’s thoughts, he found that while his wife kept kissing up to him and saying she loved him on the outside, in her heart she would laugh at that and think the complete opposite.
She only loved him on the surface.
“Husband, you are so nice, I love you so much ah~!”
—“I won’t have to be with this arrogant man forever, will I? I am really the most pitiful woman in the whole world!”
Yi Yang “Xu Xinyi !!!!!”
4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was hilarious! I laughed so hard in certain scenes!
Xu Xinyi's scolding her husband in her mind was hilarious. The amount of times she insulted him or threatened divorce in her mind was too funny. But I was the most impressed by the way she analyzed all of the other women's scheming behaviors. Not only was it enlightening, it was also hilarious.
I also love the twist in the epilogue. A lot of the extras tied up the endings for most of the side characters, which was nice. I wish the author wrote an ending for Han Xiao because his character and backstory had a lot of potential.
