While I was gone I made a tier list of all of the Leopold-Loeb adaptations I've seen/read! It's already out of date because I've discovered a few new one since then, but what can you do? In case you'd like to do this yourself, here's the link to the tier list maker.
Also a rough chart showing my ratings compared to when the fiction came out. My peak seems to have been in the 90s, but I also enjoyed the 40s-60s, and the lowest dregs have come from recent outings.
So, I've recently compiled a gdrive of all the epub/pdf files of danmei/cnovels that I've made and collected (with permission of course !) so far...
I thought I'd share it with y'all who have difficulties reading on websites or online, anyways here's the link to the gdrive below :
Do let me know if anyone is unable to open or access the files for any reason whatsoever, I'll try my best to help out !
Enjoy ❤😉
( Note that some epubs that I made have been taken down and deleted in accordance to the translators' wishes, so please do not ask for them. That being said; all credit undoubtedly goes to the translators', og authors and their immeasurable hardwork. I hope we can respect their decisions, Thank You !)

Mitsuya-sensei no keikakutekina ezuke episode 1 eng sub
This is a wonderful, age-gap romance centered around food starring Sakai Taisei as women's magazine editor Ishida Tomoya and singer-songwriter Yamazaki Masayoshi (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) as culinary specialist Mitsuya Ayumu. Their paths meet when Ishida goes to collect Mitsuya-sensei's manuscript for work.
The first episode aired today and I was so charmed by it that I rushed to sub it! I'm so excited because while there are plenty of Japanese bls these days, it's still quite rare for older, well-established people to star in them. Yamazaki Masayoshi is in a bl and I can't stop screaming about it!!!!!!!!
Please give this show a chance and maybe you'll fall in love with it!! I will continue subbing regardless of whether Gagaoolala picks it up because I can't trust them with my faves.

Notes:
The opening song is by Yamazaki Masayoshi. I'll share it once it gets a proper release.
Mitsuya-sensei is from Kyoto and speaks in Kyoto dialect, which gives a soft impression. Unfortunately this part of him is lost in translation. Yamazaki Masayoshi is from Shiga so his dialected speech sounds very natural and pleasant.

Bukkake soumen: Cold noodles with a pour-over sauce
How some straight men in classic literature act: women are smart and beautiful, but they seem so out of reach.
Anyway, here is my best friend. He is so beautiful. He is the one person I can trust. We might have kissed a few times in this novel, like all good friends do. Did I mention how beautiful he is in this feminine way? It takes my breath away.
100 years ago today Leopold and Loeb confessed to the murder of Bobby Franks. The Chicago Tribune’s newspaper that came out June 1, 1924 (revealing the confessions, photos, and other interesting information) supplied some quotes and supposed reactions from family and friends. This was, in my opinion, the beginning of the extraordinary coverage and media frenzy for what would later become known as the “Crime/trial of the century.”
“Utter disbelief in the confessions has been expressed by the families of both boys. Nathan Leopold, aged millionaire, and invalid for several years stood on the front porch of his home yesterday and cried and said his boy could not have done the things he is declared to have confessed. The father said again and again, “Impossible, ridiculous, Nathan - my boy - my boy- I can’t believe it - I won’t believe it.” And he tried to smile, through his tears, at reporters who gathered around him.” Nathan Leopold Sr.
“He (Loeb) couldn’t have done it. We know he’s innocent.” …. A confession which the family still refuse to believe. Mr Loeb, confined to his bed, his wife weeping alone, and two brothers hurrying from their homes. “He is innocent,” they say, “and confessed merely to get sleep. It can be refudiated when he comes to trial.” The Loeb family.
““It’s a damned lie.” Said Richard Rubel hysterically. “I’m Dick Loeb’s best friend and he couldn’t have done it. For a ransom-” He looked about at the magnificent home of his millionaire friend, at the garage stocked with limousine, sedan, coupe, traveling car; at the tennis court where they so often played. “Why those boys could have had all the money in the world! Why should they do that?” Richard Rubel.
“Young Leopold has said he is an atheist,” commented Jacob Franks. Now, perhaps, he will realize that there is a God - that God alone could have caused him to drop those glasses and lead the way to my boy’s murderer.” ….. “These youths are victims of themselves,” he said quietly. “A mind cannot be sane which holds thoughts of murder, and if they are unbalanced the place for them is an asylum. But the law must take its own course.” Jacob Franks.
There's been a lot of stuff going on in the last two months, so I'll just list the updates below.
Looks like there is a Yucun Biji stage play in the works. (x)
A trailer for the Seven Star Lu Palace animation was released by iQIYI. It will be 3d animation. (x)
Merebear finished translating all of the novels in the main series.
NPSS finished revising Yucun Biji, so hopefully that will be published this year or next. Babu will also be involved (likely creating more of the little comics). Restart Volume 2 is still being revised.
The third book in the Qinling Sacred Tree comic series was published in March.
There's a life outside of Wang compound, there's other things than being a child soldier (being a shifter and a basic bitch for example).
It's an illustration of a wonderful fic by @justawanderingbabbit and I think everybody needs to read it. Also - notes at the end of each chapter are so fun to read!
(I'm not good with writing long comments even for the fics I like so much so instead I do what I can xD)
