Wow, can't believe this thread didn't come out earlier! I've got quite a few that have been on the backburner for reading, but right now, I'm in the process of reading quite a few!
Currently Reading:
Klue & Berry by ars. This Boys Love story is based on the Japanese manga Bakemono to Kedamono by Renji Range. I honestly love the MC who is quite shamelessly lewd and rather perverted, but he recognizes the innocence and good nature of his love interest and works to help his love interest quite selflessly. There's only 8 chapters so far, but I'm excited to see the development of romance and the relationship between the two main characters (which have the same names as the title, Klue and Berry).
Disgraced 10 Minutes After Arrival by Afterdarkfish. So far, I'm only on chapter 11/24 for this novel, but I find the MC to be really interesting! His motivations for rewards from his transmigrated system is an interesting twist on the trope, and the main love interest has just been introduced so I'm excited to see their dynamic! This is also a Boys Love novel; and Afterdarkfish makes really really cute art depicting the characters, and I think that's a super amazing thing to do! If you're looking for a rather twisted personality MC with a big demon boy cutie, I'd say this is a good pick for you, fufu.
I Agreed To Be A Hero, So Just Let Me Fight The Demon King! by flucket. AHHHH this is a cute fluffy novel filled with a very cute and awkward MC (my bb Tarou) who is summoned to another world to save the human kingdom from the demon kingdom. He is sent as a sacrifice to the Demon King and honestly, it's just super funny and cute. (Plus, fun fact: flucket wrote this
drunk and that's highly impressive haha). I finished the main couple's story for now, but there's also a side story for a side couple that I'm excited for! (Hopefully we get to see more of cute Tarou though).
LOGIK: Slow Healing Life Online by flucket also. This is a story about a boy named Baxter who delves into a VRMMO in which he begins to slowly learn how to play while also making friends. He's a very troubled character with a lot of mental health issues, and you see a bit of his irl life through snippets when he's offline. However, I'm very excited to see the character development in which Baxter will have to deal with playing with other people in a VRMMO (and I just want my bb Baxter to be happy okay). Also there's a hint of this being boys love possibly?? And possible funny misunderstandings because Baxter's character on VRMMO is a girl and he's a guy. Anyway, the VRMMO system is fleshed out quite nicely, but if you have no prior knowledge about gaming and MMO systems, etc, you might get a little bit lost. Still a super fun read with an MC you really want to root for!
Have Read/On Hold:
To the Start of a New World (BL) by ars which is a Boys Love novel set in a post-apocalyptic world where people gain powers after the world kind of goes to shit. It's prequel/oneshot is called
At the End of the World (BL) and honestly, cried so hard because the pain and suffering of the protagonist's love is so heartbreaking! I definite recommend this series for anyone who likes quiet and supportive sad MCs who get a second chance at their love! However, I think ars is focusing on a second novel which I'm also reading so this one is kind of on the backburner for now.
She Died Twice by flucket. So this is one of flucket's side novels, and it has quite an interesting concept. However, this one was put on hold for me because the updates will be slow because it's on a "whenever upload schedule" (lmao flucket's words). I'm hoping once it amasses more chapters, then I'll probably binge read it, fufu. So far anyway, I've read the first two chapters, and it seems like a very dark and serious-type novel; probably will be a tragedy based on the premise and the tags. But honestly, I hate myself so I love reading tragedy. Will have to keep an eye on this one to see whenever it updates a few more times so that I can binge-read.
The Disobedient and Barbaric Daughter by MyLadyQueen. So far I've only reached chapter 3, and I know the story has a lot more content for me to chow down on, but for some reason this book wasn't clicking with me so I had to put it on hold for a bit. However, hopefully once I have more time, I can return to read this because I'm curious to see what kind of person the MC will be. I've only reached the prologue-ish part where the MC is a baby and you learn a bit of her backstory and her lineage. Knowing that the MC is a revenge-seeking badass, (which is usually the type of characters I love), I'm excited to see her as an actual person and see what motivates her to exact the revenge that she wishes for.
Heavenly Soul [BL] by crimson_carnation. I've read up to chapter 24/104. So I really enjoyed the MC for this novel so far, and I thought he was a really interesting character! I was interested in his background, his two-faced personality, and also his ability to empathize with others. The cultivation stuff is interesting, but it wasn't what really sparked my interest for this novel. I was super WOWed by the love interest and was OOF so hot and super cool dude, but then they immediately went into lovey dovey mode and "you're the only one for me" kind of stuff which seemed to throw me off a bit because they had kind of just met. However, maybe when I want more fluff, I'll return to this novel and finally get to read more about the MC who I'm actually pretty interested in.
The Villainess Will Work Hard For A Good Life After Her Broken Engagement! by Akemin. This novel was quite similar in plot to a lot of the webtoons I had been reading recently; the only reason why it's in this hold section is because the author hasn't quite updated in a while, so I'm keeping it in the backburner for now and focusing on other ones. It's a really well-written novel with a MC who sort-of reincarnated into another world. Basically, the young girl of the story world regains her previous memories of another life, and she realizes that she's been reincarnated into a light novel series that she's read. I'm really interested to see how the author can take this story and make it a unique standout from other similar stories, and I'm really liking it so far! This novel's romance is a harem-type which I usually don't go for, but I was too interested in the story not to read it. Will be keeping an eye out for more updates if this ever comes out of its hiatus!
The Villainess’s Dark Side by Adeline. I LOVE this novel so much; it's literally one of the first novels I ever read on ScribbleHub and I cried like a fucking baby reading this. The emotions of the MC just really tug at your heartstrings and BREAK your heart, and you just really feel and empathize for her. On the other hand, we get this interesting look into what a side character villainous feels about transmigrated hero-type typical protagonists, and I honestly thought that point-of-view was super interesting. The relationship the MC had with the love interest was HOT, but I had wished it was fleshed out just a bit more. We didn't really get to see much of the love interest, but I just want them to be happy and aaaah. Honestly, loved this novel and would recommend it to anyone who loves tragic romance novels set in ancient China settings! (With also revenge and marriage and stuff). This one is on here because the status of the novel is quite ambiguous. Some people think it's merely on hiatus while some think the story is done; either way, I'll definitely be watching for updates!
