We aren't that far into the story but...! The relationship with MC and ML is just so healthy. It starts off kind of sad with... more>> some misunderstandings here and there but MC and ML are very equal here. The ML can joke around with MC and it isn't like some other novels where the ML is either stronger or controlling or anything.  <<less

Crazy that I like this novel. I even left a more detailed review on it's page if you wanna check that out. The romance between them is very tug-of-war. Sometimes I thought the MC was too dumb and trusting but other times it's clear that ML always chooses MC when it rly rly counts. ... more>>

The plot itself is pretty predictable... In a fight between calculative robots and creative humans, you can pretty much predict how each scene will come about before it happens. Though, some reactions do sound a little illogical. The uniqueness of it is more about the MC and ML's relationship. <<less

A Shizun X Disciple story with a semi-silly undertone. I really like this MC for some reason; he's confident, pretty, and cheerful. His little student is... a tsundere? Well, not really but he's cute; he's different from other ML disciples that are cute when young and become cold/cool/powerful when they grow up. It's rare that I like both MC and ML so much.... more>>

Someone, anyone, please pick this novel up! You won't regret it! (Me, shouting like a boy selling newspapers in the 1800's)  <<less

The MC is the epitome of cool as a cucumber on the outside/panicking on the inside. Haha, he's so likable though. I haven't really seen... more>> an ML like this before... He's the kind that spends money on a flamboyant entrance with all that razzle dazzle. He's so dramatic lol. I really liked him at first; then I didn't, then I liked him again. The way he chases MC really got to me <3 <<less

The MC is actually a fake white lotus ahahahaha. Or he uses ML to survive at first but he's open to seriously being in a... more>> relationship with him later on. ML is inexperienced with love (people usually like this) but it's the realistic inexperience with love; as in, he doesn't know how to treat MC gently or sweetly until later on. MC has to 'train' him hehe. This pretty, outwardly innocent/inwardly opportunistic MC might not be everyone's type but he's mine. I consider him a breath of fresh air compared to the serious/earnest types of main characters.  <<less

A calm, mature MC who killed the demon king but doesn't expect to take credit for it. He's mature and self-aware, knowing that he's a very accomplished adventurer but still just a random adventurer. He's surprisingly silly too! He doesn't even know it's the demon king that's hanging out in his body; he made up some melodramatic story and it was just sorta like:... more>>

MC: Oh, poor you! You must have been the demon king's lover! (Imagines a 10,000 word sob-story script)

Demon King: ... (Well, let's let him think that for now. I literally can't explain how I'm in his body anyways) ....yes, I am. 

And then slowburn romance.  <<less

Instead of clearing up misunderstandings, our MC NEEDS misunderstandings. It's like this:... more>>

MC: *getting slandered* yes, yes, all according to plan.

ML: *Learning how tragic MC is* no, my wife is innocent! I'll protect him until the day I die!

MC: No, no, please stop QAQ.

And the MC gets points from people thinking he's a villain but he's softhearted for the ML, who tries so hard for him. It's okay though, because for SOME reason, even though the misunderstanding cleared up, he still ends up getting his points. Hmmm. <<less

The MC is definitely unique. I think he used to be controlled by a system and later got pulled into this escape game world? Anyways,... more>> he's an actor at heart and he's cunning about it too. His morals are skewed from his experiences (which are pretty tragic) so he's not afraid to take someone out, silver bullet style. The ML is the pampering type but he's not cold at all; he's actually... Kind of a hooligan? Hahaha! Not really, he's just pretending to be. I find it cute though how he's constantly thinking of MC though; you'd think it's instant love but it just reads out like a realistic crush, which I like a lot.  <<less

One of the most queenly shous I have ever had the fortune to read about. He's a villain— and not one of those cutesy, fake villains either but he's not afraid of getting on someone's bad side. Fortunately for him, his domineering, devilish personality is exactly what ML falls for. ML is just a big wolf pretending to be a puppy for our MC. To me, this couple is the epitome of Queen Shou X Black-bellied loyal dog Gong.... more>>

It sounds cliche but this novel does it so well. The relationship is so well-written that it doesn't seem boring even though I know a lot of novels try to write about queen shous and loyal dogs. This one though is probably the best in it's specific trope.  <<less

(Almost) Every novel White Sky Translations picks up turns out to be a gem. The quality of the novels they translate and the quality of the translations themselves are so, so amazing. They're one of the few groups I donate a kofi to every now and then. ... more>>

NTPTSMWTD is spectacular. We've got the CEO MC (but is he really a CEO? the past is shrouded in mystery) and his 7 men who are crazy in love with him. They're all distinctly different, which I think is kinda difficult to pull off in writing when there's just so many characters. 

The MC uses a lot of backstories and tricks to swindle a proposal from each demon lord (but I personally think it's unnecessary; even if he appeared as he really was, I think they'd still fall for him) before dying and moving onto another body with a new target. Ngl, it gets a little heavy sometimes but it's so exciting I can't put it down.  <<less

ANOTHER WHITE SKY TRANLSATIONS NOVEL?! Ahaha yes. It's an escape game type and the MC is just your average office worker (or is he?) that goes into the escape game. Except, every time he dies, he just restarts the game. It's crazy how much he changes throughout the novel; a lot of that is thanks to...... more>>

The ML!!! *seal claps* This ML is a horror game streamer and he cares for our MC soooo much! He gets attached fast and it goes from MC relying on him throughout the game (until he dies...) and then ML relying on our MC afterwards when MC finally learns how to clear the game. Beware though! It takes multiple tries for our MC to learn how to get it right and there's definitely some gore; they die in horrific ways before they get out. Still, the relationship between the two is sweet and it's revitalizing to see how much the MC changes throughout the story. We also eventually realize that the golden retriever-like ML isn't what he appears to be... <<less

Pig-pretending-to-be-a-tiger MC and the injured ML that gets secretly protected by him. It's cute but my favorite parts are actually when MC pretends to be... more>> vicious. Outwardly he's baring his fangs but inwardly he's a rabbit trying to hide his cotton tail so people don't take advantage of him. It's kinda cute, I can see why ML is charmed by him.  <<less

OMG this was shockingly good. I thought the MC was a naïve, sweet lil thing but he's ruthless af after he took off his gentle façade. The ML is similarly ruthless and they're honestly the last kinds of people to fall in love because of how cynical and guarded they are... Believe me though, this is a love story first, doomsday save-the-world novel second. It's surprisingly not that heavy, in case you were worried about that. Many light-hearted, even funny moments. ... more>>

I don't even want to say too much here because there's just so much to unpack in this novel. I finished this novel and I just couldn't read anything else for a while because I felt nothing matched up. I know some people like Stray, from the same author, but Happy Doomsday is much more unique to me; the characters are so likable and the more you read, the more you end up cheering for them.  <<less

Ah, the OG of quick transmigration novels. If you're into the quick transmigration genre, you're bound to have heard of this one. I read it... more>> very, very early on in my chinese novel obsession and I loved it. This is another one with a villainous shou and a devoted gong. Y'know what? I might end up re-reading this one of these days, after I get through the other 374 novels on my to-read list.  <<less

I'd like to mention that the title is very misleading; MC doesn't become a koi monster until much, much later. Before that though, MC takes care of the sweet lil ML. They're both out in the real world but they're playing this game that delves into the ML's past; through this, they start to care about each other and fall in love. I need to warn you though, this novel looks fluffy (and it is) but it's pretty tragic in some areas. You might cry A LOT because of many factors in ML's past. ... more>>

This is another novel that needs to get picked up, please pick this up, yes, this one right here! <<less

This starts sad and messy with a toxic-ish relationship but it picks up! I swear! The messy beginning is just to set the scene and... more>> it's over kinda quick in my opinion. The FL is such a girlboss honestly. She's been ab*sed by the plot but she can really tough it out. MC is slowly won over by her (and her incredible beauty lmao).  <<less

This isn't really a Queen shou; it's a king shou! He's sharp and courageous, as well as wicked smart. He transmigrated into a tyrant but he wasn't a gentle person to begin with; in fact, it's like he finally found an identity that really suits him. I was dazzled by this decisive and cut throat MC. ... more>>

Another novel I hope that gets picked up again. I hope by now you realize there's a pattern. 

UPDATE: It's gotten picked up again, thank you thank you thank you Nyx! She's such a wonderful translator. <<less

Apprehensive about putting this on the list just because of how there aren't that many chapters. I think the premise of this is so interesting... more>> though! MC has a very interesting background; it makes him a little naïve, like a child, but he's not dumb. He knows how to think things through and try a better the situation. The ML is... the stereotypical president type honestly. He's not bad though and I think the amnesia makes him more interesting.  <<less

I usually hate tsundere characters but this MC is a very mature tsundere; as in, I think he's just shy but plays it cool. I'm actually surprised this novel made it on my list because I usually like focusing on relationship dynamics and characterization but I actually like this novel because of how interesting the plot is. I didn't really think about giving this novel a chance for a looong time because of how boring the summary sounded to me. ... more>>

Basically (without giving away too much), MC lives, grows older, goes to sleep for a long time, and comes back to society to repeat the process. It wasn't always like this though and he's burdened by this special condition, as well as hazy memories. He goes on adventures(?) where dead people create a world from their unresolved regrets and as a top-tier puppeteer, he helps them. Later, we see ML, his respected teacher, who is also burdened with their mysterious past. ML is the mature, gentle, doting type.  <<less

What are all these stains on the cover?! Oh it's dog blood; as in, dog blood drama. I usually hate those: white moonlight first love, CEO ML, car crashes, (fake) amnesiac MC... But you know it must be really good because even though I hate all those tropes, I still really like this novel. ... more>>

It's well-written and MC takes some things seriously, some things not. In the beginning, I thought ML was utter s*um but as things unfold, you realize it's the MC that's actually very scummy because ML is a victim in the entire situation; they just don't know it until later. Anyways, if you're afraid of reading it because of the angst and dog-blood drama, I'll let you know that they get resolved fairly fast and most of the drama isn't even real; explanations are given later.  <<less

Short and bittersweet! The monster ML is super adorable later when MC and him get closer. I'll warn you right now though, if you don't... more>> like tent**les, this isn't for you.  <<less

This is so cute!!! This is a wholesome, fluffy novel but it's interesting enough to stop it from being a shallow, light read. Like... MC... more>> and ML are actual animals not human/animal hybrids, not transformative human to animal, they are actually living their lives out in the rough wilderness. It's refreshing from all the other lovey-dovey novels just because of how difficult it is to express romance when you're a shaggy polar bear (1st arc) but the ML is so doting even as an animal, it's shocking.  <<less
