Great books usually have something that catches my eye in the very first chapter/page.

In “Merman’s Fall” by Lin Qian, it is the alpha protagonist’s prompt deference towards his omega boss, who is the head of the International Omega Alliance, the strongest agent and former head of the Pacific Bio-differentiation Base. The boss has bunny ears because of his lop-eared rabbit glands.

That tells me the book contains 1. ABO gender equality, 2. combat, and 3. animal characteristics.

Hello?? A bunny omega boss who is the top dog socially and physically?

(Random tidbit: the prequel, Lop-Eared Butler, is of a very different genre. It has lots of trashy soapy angst and extremely terrible alpha behaviour. I didn’t read it, and it’s very not necessary to read it before reading Merman’s Fall.)

***

In MDZS, it is “Great news, Wei Wuxian is dead!”

I immediately think “why’s he dead and why are people happy” and “that’s an interesting name”. Interesting name because each word in 魏无羡 is full of negative energy: Wei contains the character for ghost, Wu is “no/none”, Xian is envy. Unusual because when choosing names, pleasant/positive words are often preferred (duh). Yet Wuxian combined has a nice meaning, hmm negative+negative=positive, interesting.

***

In Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends from the Trash Bin, it is the protagonist’s quick-witted irreverence and hugely satisfying jab at a horrible person.

***

In 2ha, it is the tyrannical emperor’s stupid names for the years of his reign. (Well, seemingly stupid.)

Nothing like reading several cnovels in a row without official translations or adaptations to humble you about the luxury of being a fan of mxtx works qwq

Even the eldest sibling; svsss had leagues more content pre adaptations than any of the novels I've read this past month ToT

(If anyone out there has read "don't pick up boyfriends from the trash bin" or "mistakenly saving the villain" pls hmu 🙏 )

[moadeep]

If I stare harder will the translator come back?

Day 20: Fireworks "...this is for you."

Came across Trash Bin fan art. The pic on top is of Chi Xiaochi texting Lou Ying that he “just finished work and missed my birthday…but it’s okay because I can share your birthday, cake, and birthday wishes later this year! Just the two of us. It’s late so the only cake shop open is this one, the cake looks really good, let me show you a photo :P”

The pic at the bottom, set in a different year, is of a hand gripping another hand on a bed while birthday messages from a ton of friends roll in for Chi Xiaochi.

Been a long time since I read Trash Bin (brilliant and entertaining book) so I didn’t notice the first pic is a major knife until I saw the comments 😂 Trash Bin and associated fan art are good at hiding knives in the open

[nyankocatnyan]

Now that there's official art, I can finally draw them hehe It’s my fav QT genre novel!

Chi Xiaochi hugged it. “Go on, Dog Meat.”

Dog Meat refused to die. Its eyes were already dimmed with the shadow of death, but it still stared straight at Chi Xiaochi. 

Chi Xiaochi closed his eyes. “……Come on, Maimai.”

BL NOVEL RECOMMENDATION

If you are looking for a good bl, a cn novel, or just another novel with some system administrator, please consider reading, "Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin."

It gave me another perspective on the systems and the world hopping. Also, the MC, Chi Xiaochi is a very refreshing POV.
