Fav xianxia to this day. Not a pure xianxia like Martial Peak, as MC’s an emperor. Trad xianxia style romance. Myths and reincarnation done really will, being the authour’s strength. MC’s as an old retired merchant, so you get a level-headed MC. Even when humiliated, he grits his teeth and plans a comeback.You can tell the author had a vision. Foreshadowing’s a hit or miss. Not as well written as some others—but there's a level of peace I find reading it like the dish ratatouille.

I genuinely loved this novel. Extremely slow paced, SOL, romance, school life (ancient Chinese school). Just fun and enjoyable all around. Perfect balance of showing off, character development, etc. Very well written and authour pulls at one's emotions really well. I vividly remember my heart pounding from anxiety. More drama focused.

About an adopted CN orphan raised in KR by the mafia so some nationalism but mild. Major plot lines: • Taking power in the mafia, expanding, and legitimizing (in appearance) • Romance based on real women from the KR entertainment world The 2 plot lines converge. I like the romance as the FLs slowly come to terms with his background. It's a beautiful interplay with great relationship building. MC isn't a good person (e.g., He rap*s the first FL. Would normally turn me off but it works here).

This made Qidian's top 20 masterpiece list. A great execution of realistic polygamy in the modern day in a world of harem FLs that don’t seem to care about the other women the MC has. MC juggles multiple GFs. He is a scumbag who is cheating and acknowledges that. His GFs will not accept sharing him. Ensue a novel where he tries to make it work and has a believable, realistic end. Some nationalism and the business is light. While his GFs do react like normal people, they’re too submissive.

This story has left me in shambles. It's a sequel to ‘My Elder Sister is a Superstar’. MC finds he has demon blood and his ancestor, who's been unsealed, follows him as he uncovers things. So many converging elements all coming to make an incredible story. Tragedy, Angst, Family, Brotherhood, Action, Drama, etc.—all converge into an incredible story. Like a gradual descent into madness. So read its predecessor, put away all your expectations, and read with an open mind.

Made Qidian’s top 20 masterpiece list. MC becomes a a gov official in ancient Chinese xianxia world. Proceeds to use science to get himself out of difficult situations and starts cultivation. Romance/harem and the whole shebang. Great world building and characters. Unique handling of the emperor relationship. Well written and thought out. Part of the class of authors who clearly had a story board before writing and aren't extending their work's chapters or word count for money.

Realistic polygamous romance in modern monogamous China. Focus on the entertainment world. Standouts: • MC’s sort of a salted fish • FLs have personality • Well-developed slow-burn romance Read for the journey and savour. Don't get agitated when MC backs out at a key moment. This isn't a JP beta, but a more realistic personage. They go back and forth rejecting each other’s advances due to the internal conflict between the fear of actually entering a forbidden relationship and their desires.

Entertainment Spring and Autumn is a transmigration xuanhuan harem that offers some unique ideas with a masterful execution: (1) MC immediately gains backing from the strongest force, focusing on schemes over cultivation, thriving despite weakness (2) Former idol manager, hence morally loose, yet follows xianxia “responsibility” tropes (3) FLs are culturally open due to dual cultivation in the sect, but no NTR occurs Overall, a great story from the veteran authour Ji Cha.

The beginning is slow, feels cliche, and makes the work seem less than it is. But trust me, it gets sooo much better. If you like soft rice and shura fields, this is it. Story is about an MC who reincarnates as a small villain in the beginner town of the protagonist. Proceed to follow the plot and discover the truth of his reincarnation and explore. Slice of life. Focus is mostly on the romance and shura field, navigating around jealousy and how MC eats soft rice (sugar mommies).

A really well executed trope. MC transmigrates and a system gives him a script to follow, promising success as long as he follows it. Said script is of a cold loner swordsman MC type who abstains from women after getting his heart broken a few times. MC tries to emulate that. Problem is, none of the FLs want to follow the original script...
