Title: Everyone Knows I’m a Good Person
Author: 糖尾帅
Chapters: 176 chapters + 1 extra
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

Shi Qing’s task was to be a protector.

It was only after transmigrating to various worlds and eagerly counterattacking the villains there that he realized he was the biggest villain out of everyone.

– A king that liked to conquer other worlds

– A Film Emperor that had a malicious personality

– A Blackened Young Master with deviant intentions

– A Schoolyard Bully that was overbearing to others

Afterwards the gong that initially despised Shi Qing discovered:

– The Machine King that seemed like an invader was really a million-year-old baby

– The Film Emperor that seemed malicious was secretly helping upcoming actors

– The Young Master that seemed to harbor deviant intentions was a pure-hearted young boy

– The Schoolyard Bully that seemed overbearing was secretly in love

In the end….

The entire world: He’s such a good person!

5 STARS - I LOVED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I love Shi Qing. His shamelessness knows no bounds. His internal thoughts to himself and his system were hilarious. I love how he knew how to appreciate the situations and didn't break OOC even though he really wants to at times. His acting skills were top notch, and his ways of whitewashing himself were hilarious or ingenious or both lol.

The film emperor arc was definitely one of my favs just because of how funny it was. I nearly busted my gut at one point! The mermaid arc was also super funny because of the gong. The uncle arc was also super cute. I loved it!

The ending was also satisfactory. Not super rushed, and it explained a lot of details. I'm sad to see Shi Qing and his lover go.


Title: Post-Apocalyptic Vegetable Garden Sub-Game
Author: 西大秦
Chapters: 114 chapters + 3 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from jjwxc:

In the last days, all matter collapsed, and the whole world was reduced to wasteland.

People do tasks in a game called "Vegetable Garden" in order to obtain all necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and survive with difficulty.

And this game is a face dog, relatively tolerant and friendly to beautiful players, and ruthless to ugly players.

Zuo Ying died in the fourth year of the end of the world, and returned to four hours before the end of the world. At this time, her face had not been taken away.

This is a leisurely farming game.

This is a fun hacking game.

This is an exciting adventure game.

It's also a... brutal hunting game.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I saw Post-Apocalyptic in the title and thought it was a zombie apocalypse world because I just skimmed the summary lol. Either way, this was an interesting read. 

I would say the genre is a mix of infinite flow, online gaming, and slice of life world building with a little bit of farming sprinkled in. The dungeons were interesting, and the action and plot were intense. 

I really liked the slow romance and Zuo Ying's character growth.


Title: After I Possessed the Tmall Genie of the School Adonis

Summary from Novel Updates:

If life were likened to god rolling the dice, then Lù YúnFēi is a 6. He’s handsome and smart, save for his abysmal proficiency in English. That is until he met Biān JìnYuán — Bian JinYuan is tall and cool, top of his grade in every exam, and his English results definitely destroy Lu YunFei’s twice over. If he’s a 6, then this guy is simply 666!

Since YunFei is already here, why would there be a need for JinYuan? It’s hard for a mountain to accommodate two tigers, unless one is a male while the other is female. Lu YunFei looked at the other party’s gender, and silently crossed that thought out.

However, not long after he started to treat Bian JinYuan as a rival, he found that after 9pm, he would mysteriously possess Bian JinYuan’s Tmall Genie. (A cat mascot similar to Amazon Alexa or Google Home.)

After possessing the Tmall Genie, Lu YunFei realised that his rival is actually a pauper prince. Lu YunFei who possessed looks, height, and wealth looked at his cards which were almost overflowing with money, and decided to establish his friendship relations. Therefore, since Bian JinYuan lacked money, Lu YunFei hired him to be his English tutor.

Bian JinYuan bought a cake and couldn’t bear to eat it so that he could bring it home for his family. Lu YunFei bought him a large slice of cake the next day.

Having done good deeds everyday, Lu YunFei felt that the invisible red scarf on his chest had gotten brighter.

Until there was a hot post on the school forum: 《Exposé on Lu YunFei – getting the top student to be your lackey, do you really think that it’s all that to have money! 》

The original poster listed down various instances: bag-carrying, bringing water, peeling chestnuts; the school genius was ordered about as if he were a servant. Everyone was enjoying the gossip, when Bian JinYuan who had never posted in the forum before, posted for the first time with his real name.

Bian JinYuan: I don’t need the money, I’m willing, why do you care?

Everyone was scared dumb.

Lu YunFei worried about whether he should bother Bian JinYuan less.

“That’s not necessary, I like being bothered by you.”

“Forget it,” Lu YunFei rejected.

Bian JinYuan thought for a bit: “Then let me rephrase — that’s not necessary, I like you.”

Lu YunFei: ???!!!

Lu YunFei never expected that the mountain is wide and holds many types of tigers. Together, two male tigers can not only run fast, but also fall in love!

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

A fluffy, slow burn, slice of life high school romance with lots of communication and supportive boyfriends.
