Mini Reviews: I Married the Male Lead of a CP-free Novel, Why The Big Villain Hasn’t Run Away, Salted Fish Transmigrated Into An Apocalyptic Book

Title: I Married the Male Lead of a CP-free Novel
Author: Ten-Tailed Rabbit
Chapters: 79 chapters 
Publication: N/A
Summary from Novel Updates:

Chi Zhengzheng became vegetative, lying in bed, motionless.

A CP-free novel suddenly appeared in her mind …

In the original novel, a car accident left the Chi family’s daughter in a coma.

The engagement had to go on, and Chi Zhengzheng’s fiancé, the younger son of the Wen family, was not willing.

Unwilling to offend the Chi family, the Wen family lets the unpopular eldest young master, Wen Yu, take over.

The indifferent Wen Yu became a joke in the circle.

The young man, Wen Yu, was the male lead of this CP-free novel, has built a huge business empire.

In just one year, with a wave of his hand, he destroyed both the Chi family and the Wen family, opening the way for the CP-free male lead’s road to dominance.

His nominal wife, Chi Zhengzheng, also passed away quietly after being a vegetable for a year.

After reading the whole story, Chi Zhengzheng shivered in fear and suddenly opened her eyes – just in time to lock eyes with Wen Yu.

Oh, so handsome.

Chi Zhengzheng: “… Husband!!!”

Wen Yu: ???

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was hilarious and sweet! I kept giggling because of Chi Zhengzheng's behavior, especially when she lashed out about her ex-fiancé in the beginning lol. Girl can go off! Lmao! 

I especially loved Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu's slow romance. It was super cute watching them being embarrassed and cute with each other as they realized their feelings. 

Chi Zhengzheng's thought process when she started working at Wen Yu's company at the end was also hilarious. She read too many novels and got the wrong idea lmao. 

Overall, a super satisfying read!


Title: Why The Big Villain Hasn’t Run Away
Author: 车厘酒
Chapters: 99 chapters + 10 extras
Publication: 2021
Summary from Novel Updates:

Yan Luqing was reading a heart-abuse novel of the year when she was on the plane.

Among them, the most popular is not the male lead and female lead, but the villain who has been persecuted by countless lunatics, Gu Ci.

When Gu Ci was young, his beauty was infinite, but his family’s financial situation fell behind and his parents were retaliated by their enemies. His beautiful obsidian-like eyes were blinded by poison. And in the end, he was secretly ‘hidden’ by a mentally ill woman who had a crush on him.

After experiencing all this, the young man who was originally like a breeze and misty moon was completely blackened.

Who does not feel heartache for a beauty who was strong but miserable? Yan Luqing also felt her heart ache and scolded that mentally ill woman very angrily.

Who knows that when the plane crashed, she became the female partner, who tried to monopolize Gu Ci, that everyone shouts to beat.

The time happened to be the first day of the ‘Hiding Gu Ci In The Golden House’.

Recalling the female partner’s end that was more inferior than the pigs and dogs in the original book, Yan Luqing: …Oh?

***

The female partner in the original book deserves that kind of ending, but Yan Luqing can not commit the same mistakes.

From the first day onwards, she will serve delicious food and drink to raise the big villain well. It was called ‘Hiding Gu Ci’ but in reality it was actually enshrining and worshipping him.

She treats Gu Ci’s eyes and buys whatever he wants to eat, even if he wants the stars she will pick them for him. If he wants flowers, she will pull them out and make a wreath for him. Even the flowers at home are all pulled bald.

So two months later, according to the original plot, it was the day for Gu Ci to escape.

Yan Luqing breathed a sigh of relief. The big villain doesn’t have to do it himself because she opened the door wide in a very proactive and catering manner, and said to him: “Congratulations, you are free now.”

Gu Ci looked at her for a long while, his beautiful black eyes darkened, and he suddenly smiled: “What if I said, I don’t want freedom?”

Yan Luqing: “???”

What about your business empire?

What about your ambition for revenge?

D*mn, that’s not how the script was played!

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I really liked this! Yan Luqing and Gu Ci's whole relationship was so cute and sweet and sad once you found out their backstory! 

Yan Luqing really is a sand sculpture, just like her random thinking and unusual naming conventions lol. Her continuous obliviousness of her own feelings while Gu Ci silently chases her while simultaneously roasting her was also fluffy and hilarious. 

I freaking LOVED Yan Luqing's constant metaphors of their relationship lol. The faint king and his virtuous concubine! The head of the family and his beautiful wife lmao. The role reversals in their relationship were super cute. Yan Luqing was always being seduced by her wife lmao. 

Also, the system actually has a personality in here, which made the climax really interesting. 

The Panda King and Princess extras were super cute! The vampire x vampire hunter extras were fluffy, too! All of the extras were really sweet.


Title: Salted Fish Transmigrated Into An Apocalyptic Book
Author: 奶香味哒
Chapters: 54 chapters + 4 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Jiang Miaomiao transmigrated into an apocalyptic book and became an insignificant cannon fodder. Considering all the brutal encounters behind, she decided to lie down and peacefully wait for death. She stayed at home and lived as long as she could.

In order to eat and drink well before she dies, she stored a lot of supplies.

Unexpectedly, one day a man broke into her house and was even more salty than her. He stayed and refused to leave. Her three boxes of potato chips were eaten up by that man. Her six boxes of river snail rice noodles were eaten up by that man. Her ten boxes of walnuts were also gnawed by that man!

Jiang Miaomiao was furious and decided to drive him out. So she secretly followed him in the middle of the night and saw him walk into a horde of zombies with a knife on his hands. He looked handsome as he easily killed those zombies.

The man came back and washed the blood stains. She was pushed to wake up while she was pretending to be asleep, “Give me a spicy duck neck.”

Jiang Miaomiao gave it to him decisively with both hands, “Eat, it’s all yours!”

A magical thing happened since then, her supplies… Why is it continuously increasing?

2.5  STARS - IT WAS OKAY

MY REVIEW: 

It gets a bit slow and boring for me in the middle. There wasn't much motivation or tension to keep my attention, and Jiang Miaomiao's personality started irritating me.

This is a slice of life apocalyptic setting, but Jiang Miaomiao's personality started getting on my nerves. At first, her "I'll just commit suicide before the zombies get to me" attitude was normal and understandable because she already knew that she was going to die as a cannon fodder character in a book. However, her constant fear of being alone and inaction unless instigated by Lu Qiming got annoying after a while. It takes her a REALLY long time to change her attitude and to stop being so useless. 

Also, she didn't have a lot of cooking common sense and wasted a lot of materials creating basically poisonous dishes because she didn't think things through, which annoyed me even further.
