GREAT. Double-healing novel, this author lately likes this vibe and gives ML more space. Cliche plots are just a hook, content is quite heart-warming.

Hello, everyone~!
Welcome.
[edit: 6/10/23]
I started a blog for some time where I share small reviews on the novels I've read - https://hy-d-ra.blogspot.com/ I think it's more helpful than me simply adding titles here, since I post both good and bad there. You're welcome to visit.
[/edit]
Here are some gems NON-TL NOVELS I found on my journey of reading, but so far they're not TL and have no NU page (at the time of me adding them), but they're mostly easy to MTL and are quite fantastic:
和残疾巨佬闪婚后 / After a flash marriage to a disabled business giant. By the same author as previous. With designer MC, who had dreams of future plots. Marries a patriarch of Luo family on pretext, but from agreed marriage to a happy for a lifetime and both have a past MC forgot about. Well-paced and consistent adn all in all really sweet and wonderful tbh. 5/5.
我在阴阳两界反复横跳的那些年. MC sees ghosts after crossing. He also meets ML like that who is temporarily a soul. They help in a lot of situations of really gruesome cases in entertainment, but it also has a good feel of fighting for justice. 4/5 had good time.
成了武帝的我又穿了回来. A really good and good-humored. After MC's death he traveled through and came to the world of cultivation, after reaching the peak, he became the master of formations and now could pinpoint time and go back, but his long-term oppononet happened to be near and saw a shadow passing through, so he followed. Now they're in modern world and MC finally could fix his heart knot - the accident of his mother. But he also slowly found out that this world has cultivators too, while he tried to help his "enemy" to go back, but they slowly entered a relationship.
Please enjoy
I will update this list, whenever I will meet good works that are not on NU.
Also if you have recommendations that are not included here you can leave them here, I'll appreciate that
Earth is Online?
Not so much for lovey dovey vibe, tho. But it's interesting in terms of the character, setting, the game. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but kinda fits the theme.
I really really love your reviews and I always check your profile for new things cuz you always have interesting books to recommend or talk about. I love this list
It's almost the same as my list of favs.
Have you tried considering adding "Supernatural Movie Actor App" and "Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend" to the list ? I just wanted to know
Hi there! I’m just another fan of your comments and registered here to express my appreciation to your style and efforts you put into reviews.
I came across your comment in “Rebirth of a supermodel” reviews, and I actually felt like wow~ somebody actually noted it. I was reading “The earth is online” at that time and I was getting some similar impressions as well, so defo supermodel will not be my cup of tea.
Thanks a lot once again, really, reading your awesome comments is sometimes more satisfying than reading the novels, oooops. :D
Omg thank you so much!! I had no idea it got to this point, I'm really happy to hear that someone enjoys what I write :D
And thank you so much, it's one of those reviews I really put all my thoughts into, since I was baffled how many skip on such obviously weird things, but yet praise the novel to the sky. I haven't read Earth is online yet, it's on my on-hold list, but part of me wants to check it out for the sake of - well, let's see another praised novel, shall we?
Thank you a lot for your warm words, I'll cherish them. And Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you!
Love this list! All worthy reads :3
Not sure if you've read "Reborn with an Old Enemy in the day of our marriage" ? Long titles aside, has a pretty nice take on rebirth that focuses on self-improvement rather than revenge, as well as a healthy and very wholesome main relationship, and highly developed side characters ^-^ Mostly fluffy slice of life, but I think you might enjoy it
Hello! I'm lowkey a fan of your reviews and honestly your opinions have made me read some books! Not sure if you have checked these out already but I’m Not Shouldering This Blame and Little Mushroom are pretty good novels. Later, He Became a Royal Healer and PUBG Online Romance of the Century are also lighter, modern esports stories like Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating. I think these all had pretty good/reasonable plotlines.
If you like short stories, I also enjoyed They All Say I’ve Met a Ghost and Kiss the Black Cat.
If you like REALLY short stories that are just pure crack, The Script is Not Like This! and Evil Cult Undercover Gets Exposed Everyday are worth the hour it takes to read it :)
Honestly I've found a few good books (and avoided some bad ones) through your recommendations, so I hope that at least one of these will be good!
Hello! I recently got into BL novels about like 2 months ago, I have weird taste in BL novels but may I ask a question? So for some reason, I REALLY like good-looking MC's but I'm not sure about what to read. Can you recommend to me a novel that won't give me second-hand embarrassment and the MC's good-looking? Thank you!
P.s I'm not so sure how to interact with people so I'm not sure how to put this, I'm sorry if this sounded wrong in anyway way! Thank you and have a nice day!!! \(^o^)/
