    Wait so you did not like “the Founder of Diabolism” and SVSS? Personally I found both really interesting and had a good plot.

      Yeah, just personal preference, but I found the romances really unappealing/uninteresting. There definitely are good elements in the stories, but I really couldn't vibe with the MLs at all and it ruined my reading experience. But they're obviously really popular novels with huge fanbases who love the romance, so lol maybe I'm the problem! clear.png

      @argilla both MLs in these novels have different personality’s for sure. You could try Heavens Official Blessings, there’s a good chance if you don’t like the other 2 MLs you would like this one, Hua Cheng is the definition of loyalty and love!
