I'm here to ramble Reading List

[jsvjbmh]

YAP TIME, or rambling.. I don't know. I just want to write things off, vent a little? You would think that I should keep a journal and write things in there, but I think I've explained this before? But I feel so weird writing in something that no one is going to read and I'm not really planning on shoving my journal to someone to read :'). So, I rather throw it here, in the void.

I got distracted and forgot I was making this post and I lowkey forgot what I wanted to write about. Lost the motivation as well tho.. So eh, Bye :')

"edit". I put those in quotation marks because I, apparently, never posted it :'D.. Might as well add a little something to it before I actually post it.

So, I mentioned a journal. I've been seeing some post about someone who's keep a journal, but I think it's originally some kind of agenda/diary? Each page has room for two days. Which sounds kinda nice? No pressure/room to write pages worthy of stuff and you can still decorate it with all kinds of crap if you want to. There is still a big chance I won't do it.. Kinda prefer it to write into the void I guess.

Number One Lazy Merchant of the Beast World

82 chapters with 8 extras. Didn't remember it had such few chapters. I remember enjoying it tho. I believe it did not have a lot of drama. It was mostly fluffy stuff.

So, in this world everyone is a beastman (Is it called like that?). But one thing I always wonder. If everyone is a beatsman, why did everyone choose to live as a human. Is it easier that way? I have no clue. I guess it makes it a little bit less weird to see two human do fluffy stuff (or more) instead of a dragon with a snow leopard..

Had to read the synopsis a little bit. Didn't remember that Rong Mingshi was someone who go transmigrated into this world. But after thinking a bit, I should've known because I believe one of the extras (or even at the end of the main story itself, can't remember) they go to his world? Don't quote me on that.

But, I remember this world relies a bit on energy stones and our lovely cute leopard is great at making/hand carving them.

Something else I remember is that I found it funny when Rong Mingshi gets drunk, he just starts buying expensive stones to make something pretty for the ML. Normally I really don't like drunk people. But I kinda find it adorable in stories how they either started buying random stuff for their partner, or when they started acting all cuddly and adorably. If only all drunk people were like that.

Seizing Dreams

I think I want to talk a little bit about this one ^^. It's been a very good while since I've read this one. It probably belongs to the very first few ones that started my danmei journey. Maybe the first one I finished, since the other ones were still translating. But before I start mentioning other things. I discovered it got licensed and it's getting a English physical at the end of this year ;D (at least the first volume). Somehow, I was not aware of this. I'l pre-order it after finishing this post.

Anyway, 165 chapters. We have Yu Hao and 'General'. Eh, the synopsis didn't mention his actual name and we all know by now my name memory skills </3. But, I think this danmei gives the unlimited flow vibes without being a unlimited flow, or world hopping. In this danmei the main characters go from dream to dream, solving the problem in those dreams for the person who is having said dream.

I can't remember if this was the danmei who gave a whole different meaning about popsicles, or if I'm confusing with another one.. Some danmei are pretty creative with their censoring sometimes.

But I am kinda excited for the physical <3. Danmei really be the reason to keep on going.

Have You Eaten?

I'm at 131 ^^. A lot of the time when I'm laying it bed, I have this whole monologue in my head about things I want to talk about the danmei I'm reading at the moment but I will forget about everything the next day when I try to type a post for it.. I should make quick notes when I lay in bed so I don't forget them.. I mean, I'm not sleeping anyway, might as wel type it out roughly.. Right?

Anyway. I guess a lot happened in the almost 100 chapters between now and the last time I talked about it. Aside from two, I believe everyone is still there? But from those two.. I'm not sure if we know the definite ending for both of them.. One of them, they come back as a zombie. But I can't remember if the other did, or if the other got eaten, or totally didn't notice it.. Sometimes I'm not the smartest during reading. I'm just here to have a good time <3.

One thing I do remember is that I want to talk about the main couple (I don't know if there will be side ones..). Not gonna lie, the chemistry feels weird. Not quiet sure if it's in a good or bad way.. Both characters definitely don't really know what love and how to love (neither do I, so why am I judging). The ML feels a bit overbearing? If you haven't noticed, English is not my first language and I already struggle with finding the right words in my mother language <3..

Anyway. he's not bad. I have definitely read worse ML's. But he's not my favorite either. The MC, I find him adorable. Mostly because he's kinda listless. Most of the time he just wants to sleep or eat (I guess there is a reason for it, don't think he was like this before everything), but he can fight. Don't think he really knows what love is. If he likes the smell of something/someone, he just wants to eat it. But he likes to feel good tho, so in the beginning he just let ML do his thing :').. Which does feel a bit iffy? But MC felt good, so again, who am I to judge? and despite MC liking to feel good, it's not like he's doing it with the others in his team either.

Hmm, when I finish this danmei (which probably still takes me a while), I'll probably catch up on some other danmei. One of the danmei's I've been reading is done translating, So I'll definitely catch up on that one ^^.

[jsvjbmh]

Have You Eaten?

226 + 12 chapters and I am at chapter 53. I wanted to say that this is my first zombie danmei, but I believe I've read them before? Some were a little part in a Unlimited Flow novel tho.. Also, this one is zombies with powers :'D.

We have Wu Heng, Xie Chongyi, and the apocalypse. Some people get powers, some people don't have a good outcome, some turn into a symbiote with plants or animals, and some stay normal.. All good and not good stuff.

I think a bunch of stuff happend and also not. They're still on their way to this town. Making stops on their way, or they just get stopped on their way by zombie animals who are way bigger than they should be. At this point they're traveling with a bunch of people.. Mostly classmates, but also with Wu Heng's younger sister and friend. It's... something.

Not sure what to think about the relationship between MC and ML. I feel like ML is slightly possessive? His emotions are kinda difficult. Kinda annoyed how he gets annoyed when Wu Heng doesn't want to say something, but it's ok when he does it? Tsss. Oh, came across a spoiler. Ok, guess that explain a little bit. Anyway, Wu Heng is a bit adorable tho. He just wants to eat.

Guess that's about it for now.

Corpse Collector

Eh, I thought I already wrote a post when I caught up as much as I could. I say as much as I could because there are 65 chapters and I am at chapter 58. But chapter 65 is in the middle of a instance :').. I prefer not to stop in the middle of it. Especially because I don't know when there are new chapters and I am a forgetful person. I try not to.

I don't have much to say.. Mostly because I started something else as well, so I don't even remember much about my feelings for this one :'D. Not quiet sure how to explain it. I do enjoy it tho.

I believe I've read 3 instances so far? The first one being school related, I think.. The second one in a Cinema and the third one was a Idol competition.

Erwa is still precious as well. Can't say much about the ML. I do want to know more tho.

[jsvjbmh]

Corpse Collector

I think I may have found a good one ;d. A lot of them are great, don't get me wrong. But I think this one is more up to my alley. Unlimited Flow, horror, without the comedy tag but they there are funny moments. Yes. Sign me up. I am already signed up. I finished the 2nd instance. Bad thing is tho, the translations are still ongoing and currently the translations are at the 4th instance. I need to slow down reading, but I love it.

So, we have Xia Bai and he doesn't remember jack sh*t from before he was 12, if I remember correctly. Even without reading the tags on NU, I could figure it out that it probably plays a big role at some point. We're not at that point yet tho. Since this is a Unlimited Flow, of course our lovely MC ends up in the game. How is if officially called? I can't remember.. Something Game Something... :'D.

But he received a skill and the game generates a game identity according to that skill and try guessing his identity ;D.

Anyway, what is a MC without his ML. Welcome Ling Changye, we don't know much about his skills but I sure do want to know more about it. My guy can get chopped into pieces, sewn together (because Xia Bai may have a weird obsessions with corpses) and still live. Weird immortal being who can also use the skills of others? In a way it's similar to Xia Bai, but also not.

There are more characters who I enjoy seeing as well. But I am awful at names, so I won't be able to name them.. Except for Erwa <3. Precious child. I hope and don't hope we see more of him. It's a child, but also a player. I don't want to put a child through all of that, especially after knowing what he already witnessed.. But I do love the interactions between Xia Bai and Erwa.

After Returning from the Infinite Game

I've finished the story + extras. This was not my favorite story, but I didn't hate it either. Really, if you look for a lot of interactions between the main couple, don't read this one. There is so little, even in the extras.

Wish it would focus a little more about the relation between mc and ml, but also more about the memory loss of ml. A prequel would've been fun, I think? Even though I wouldn't really be interested in reading it now :')

Hmm, what more could I talk about it.. I don't really have more to say about it.. It was ok?

[jsvjbmh]

After Returning from the Infinite Game

At this moment of writing, I am at chapter 43. Some of the chapter are a bit long, so the translator split them in multiple parts ^^. Technically I am at chapter 43.1 ^^.

This is one of the stories where I should've taken notes of the characters.. The amount of times they say a name and I don't remember who they are...

I stil wonder if you can tag something as Unlimited Flow if the story takes outside of the Unlimited Flow, not sure how I would tag it... From my understanding so far of the story, most of the people we see did participate in the infinite game. Monsters/creatures that came from the infinite game (and most of the time have met our MC) and appear in the real world.

A lot of different cases happen and they are resolved quick as well. I didn't count them how many happened so far, my bad. But most, if not all, Jiang Yujin (our mc) appear and a lot of the time Xu Tonggui appear as well. Xu Tonggui is a bit struggling with his memory and tries to figure out his relationship with Jiang Yujin. Jiang Yujin isn't helping either by constantly lying :'). I guess it is for a reason that gets revealed later.

Before I started reading I always read some reviews. One of the review mentioned how there is not much interaction between the main couple and they were not lying :'). I do like the little bit of interactions they do have.

It's a bit difficult to say if I like it or not.. I think I am mostly neutral about it? I knew about the lack of interactions before starting, but I do miss the interactions :'D. Lowkey glad when I am done reading :')..

My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn’t Need Any Comforting

Hmm.. I thought I knew what this story was about, but when I read the synopsis, I was thinking about the wrong story..

113 chapters and 9 extras and I don't really have a clue anymore about what happened in this story. I think there was a kidnapping? But that's probably a spoiler.. I can't remember, I'm sorry. Oh, I read the tags on NU and it does mention kidnapping :'D..

I can only tell that it is about classmates.. I believe the MC is a transfer or something similar? ML is probably dealing with issues as well.. That's it..

Hmm.. Maybe I will re-read this one in the future?

[jsvjbmh]

After Returning from the Infinite Game

Time to be reading something new! Again ;D. qegwsrbfdg I love reading so much.

77+9 extras. For me this is, according to the chapter count, a short one. It depends on the word count as wel tbh.. But I don't know that one ;D. But being at chapter 10, I feel like the chapter are 'regular' size? Not sure what that means. They are the right size, which is subjective.. You're welcome <3.

But, what I mentioned in my last post. I think I am right? Next time I try to read a more 'typical' unlimited flow haha.

Anyway, I'll be talking about spoilers, I think.. When is something a spoiler and when is something: "that's just what the story is about, but it's not mentioned in the synopsis but it is mentioned kinda early in the story"? XD. So, we have Jiang Yujin (you bet I can only remember the Jiang part) and he is someone who participated in the infinite game. He was 001. They don't let you speculate if he is or isn't. They drop low key obvious hints and not much later just said it XD. They were talking about how 001 had white hair. Not much later, someone mentioned how Jiang Yujin was starting to have white hair (I believe he died his hair and he's getting white outgrow). Again, not much later he received a letter that just straight up addressed him as 001 :').

Ok, got side-tracked a bit. So Jiang Yujin. I believe he somehow adopted a child, Cheng something. I think they're mentioning him sometimes as the protagonist (or only in the synopsis). But he is in the infinite game.

But so far, not much unlimited flow thingies are happening. There are monsters from the unlimited flow world (maybe I should call it the infinite game) that escaped to the real world tho. I believe I'm in the third case that's happening? They go quiet fast huh..

There's also Xu Tonggui, he and Jiang Yujin definitely have a history together, but not much is revealed. However, Jiang Yujin mentioned how his ex worked in the same department as Xu Tonggui and later mentioned that he forgot his ex is ded. A few chapters, he called Xu Tonggui by his name and he wondered why he knew his name. Jiang Yujin said he found him handsome (or something) and asked around. Which is probably not true. It feels like Jiang Yujin is quiet used to lying about certain bits.

Ok, that's about it? ^^

Gold Class Fighter

I finished the danmei. So, it has in total 133 chapters. The main story ends at chapter 115, but chapter 101-103 are also extras. 116 is a chapter about Hua Mao's past. 117-119 are extras about our lovely Main couple. 120-133 is about Hua Mao. Not sure why we got so much about Hua Mao specifically.

Somehow the ending felt a bit abrupt. Maybe because I wasn't paying attention or just didn't know when the main story would end, so I wasn't prepared. Still surprised about the amount of uncensored smut :'D.

I noticed I'm still bad at names (I always am). Chapter 118 ended with Fang Yu being excited that someone he knows is getting released.. But I don't know who that person is.. They've probably talked about it before but... I can't remember.. Seriously who is Da Qiang..

Anyway. I enjoyed it. The angst was good. The smut was a nice surprise.

Not gonna lie, I already picked out something new that I'm going to read. Who am I kidding, I already read the first chapter hehe. It is a Unlimited Flow. But I feel like it's not a normal typical flow? I have to see how it's going to play out.

[jsvjbmh]

Gold Class Fighter

Aaah, I've reached it. The break-up arc. I was half expecting it. Making promises to see each other at a certain date and suddenly there is a time skip that goes past that date.. They didn't meet.

I can smell the upcoming misunderstandings that will happen. Some already happened.

You know, it doesn't have to be like this.. What happened.. I mean, I can kinda guess.. For sure the dad had something to do with it.. By the way, I am at chapter 90.

I just want them to be happy :')

[jsvjbmh]

Mr Xie And His Cat

Time to talk a short bit about something I barely remember <3. Most of the time when I try to remember a story, I remember short clips.. Which isn't useful, since it's a book.. A book doesn't have clips.

Anyway, 64 + 4 extras. this was a short one. I remember our MC and ML, and ML can shape-shift into a cat and acts like a brat. I believe. I don't know what the story was about.. I remember MC taking care of the cat? But that happens in more stories..

Can't remember if the MC was someone special or if he was a normal human..

This is probably my worse 'review' yet :'D.. But I don't feel like re-reading this one. So it will stay shitty <3.

[jsvjbmh]

Gold Class Fighter

At chapter 71 ^^. I still get slightly surprised when I enter a chapter or it enters a new section and they're suddenly at it. Aunty just knocked on the door to let them know that dinner is ready and suddenly they were just doing it in the bathroom..

But I feel like we're heading into the big angst area.. There is this fight going on between two gangs and according to foreshadowing, it's going to be worse.. Also the father of Yang Lei saw them sleeping together all cuddly, so that's probably starting to be a big issue as well.

It is sometimes a bit difficult for my stoopid brain when they keep talking about the near future and than they shift back to the present hehe.. But that's really on me for reading late at night. The translation is lovely.

When I am done with this one (which might still take a while). I think I want to start a Unlimited Flow again. It's been a while. There are two I still need to catch up on, but I might just wait until they're nearly done. But it feels like it's been a while since I read one and it's probably one of my favorite genre(?)

[jsvjbmh]

Fake Slackers

I mentioned this shortly in a different post. Might as well give it it's own post. 112 + 7 extras. I should make a diagram or something about the different genres I read. For someone who says I don't like comedy, I do be reading a lot of comedy and kinda enjoying it as well..

I remember the story being about two guys (what a surprise) and those two guys pretend to be dumb in class, even though they are very smart. They're both at the bottom of the class, but they both play this super hard quiz app and they're both at the top of it.

As always, I sadly don't remember much about it.. Only really remember how they suddenly decided to be smart in class as well and at first nobodies believes them :'). I also remember that at the start, one of the guys was a transfers student and he walks in that class with black painted nails hehe. There was a reason for it, I just can't remember.

I remember liking this one. Maybe one day I'll give it a re-read? But not any time soon. I have to much I want to read.. So little time..

[jsvjbmh]

Gold Class Fighter

I'm at chapter 56. I don't have too much to talk about. Some chapters just reminds me that I shouldn't take tags lightly. Or just read them better :'D.. The smut was smutting. Oh my, I'm am not used to such chapters in danmei. Especially where Chinese is the original language :'D. Almost two chapters back to back was just that :'D.

Look. I am used to reading manga/manwha/everything where only god (and probably my history...) knows what I've read (I'm not religious tho), because sometimes you just want your brain rot. But reading some of that in my danmei? :'D. It was certainly a surprise.

I believe the characters are at the point where they are content which acknowledging their feeling for each other. But there are over 70 chapters still left.. Shit is going to happen for sure.. "Later he would never visit the house again". Something like that.. He's still living at that house.. Something is going to happen where that sentence comes true..

Probably have said this before, but I love reading so much.
