My first danmei finished in 2026 was The Ace Gossip Squad (王牌八卦小分队).
It's a sand sculpture popcorn read with fantasy elements that I finished in one sitting.
Finished Transmigrating to Ancient Times Along With the Soul of an Autopsy Room (带着解剖室魂穿古代).
There're 3 storylines: MC solving cases with his skills, his romance, and the court intrigue. The first line was great, the second was 🤢, and the third was just dog blood drama.
My number one enemy in terms of home appliances and electronics is definitely A/C.
In the past 5 years, I haven't replaced/repaired my fridge or phone, but I've replaced my A/C twice plus numerous attempts of repair before the replacement.
I'm reading 耿直法医撞上戏精皇子 (An Upright Forensic Pathologist Runs Into a Drama Queen Prince).
I quite like the non-romance plot, but the clingy, green tea ML is extremely annoying, making the romance plot/interactions between MC and ML so greasy.
I was shocked to see a new CC listed on my banking app. Turned out that it's a virtual CC released by the government through certain banks.
Well, it's just another "alat ngutang" or digital loan.
After the Samoyed Became the Wolf King's Companion Dog (萨摩耶成为狼王的陪伴犬后)
I skimmed 66 chapters and then decided to stop because I really got bored with the story. I guess it's because MC and ML are in human forms now and dealing with human problems (politics).
2 Mpreg danmei I finished this week:
- A Novel About Giving Birth to Twins (一篇生子双胞胎文)
Quite dramatic, but I like the spicy pepper MC
- Please Show Your Business License (请出示营业执照)
Sweet and silly with very interesting setting of MC being a queen bee in a bee colony
The most common period symptom is stomach pain/cramps, but I very rarely got it. Instead, the symptoms that bother me the most are trouble sleeping and bloating.
I finish skimming I Conquer the Whole Universe with Novels/I Write Novels in the Interstellar (我在星际写小说).
I skimmed it because there're stories within the story, and the actual storyline was quite flat with no conflict at all.
I spent Saturday lazing around on bed. I woke up on Sunday feeling like I had to do something. So, I prepared some meals for this week.
I made beef-chicken meatballs, braised five-spice pork, and ginger scallion chicken.
And now my right arm and shoulder are sore 🥲
It's been 2 weeks since my reading bender/book hangover, and I've finished A Beauty Brings His Child to the City to Work (大美人带崽进城务工), been re-reading 金乌鸦鸦 在线寻宠 and 天师·从入门到入坟, and am skimming I Conquer the Whole Universe with Novels (我用小说征服全宇宙).
I think I'm still hungover after finishing that long-ass xianxia danmei. I feel like I need to read some modern or futuristic danmei to cleanse my palate, but unfortunately, I haven't found anything interesting yet 😕
I think I've figured out making gyudon at home.
Use Japanese soy sauce (Kikkoman naturally brewed + Yamasa), sake, brown sugar, lots of onion, a tiny bit of ginger paste, and MSG to substitute dashi.
DON'T add garlic and sesame oil, because the dish will become bulgogi then.
I've finally finished reading 847 chapters of I'm Long Ao Tian's Tragically Deceased Dad (我是龙傲天他惨死的爹).
Overall, it's a lighthearted leveling-up xianxia danmei, with some boring (to me) adventures. What's unique in this novel is that ML is MC's clone 🙃
I started reading I'm Long Ao Tian's Tragically Deceased Dad (我是龙傲天他惨死的爹) on the 16th, and I'm only at 68% now. It's a long novel, and I do have a job.
People who asked me whether I wasn't bored staying at home didn't know that I don't even have enough time to read 😭
3S (sweet, silly, and short) danmei to brighten your day:
- It's a Seal Spirit Not a Merman (是海豹精不是人鱼)
- When a Swordsman Transmigrates into a Chuunibyou Teenager (当剑客穿成中二少年)
- After Losing His Fake Identity, His Wife was Scared Away (掉马后,老婆被吓跑了)
40. Growing Flowers Scientifically, Getting Rich Metaphysically (科学种花,玄学致富)
41. Asking for Hugs Every Day (每天都在要抱抱)
42. A First-Tier Imperial Physician, Taking Up Acting (一线太医,上岗演戏)
43. Modern Cultivator's Survival Manual (现代修士生存手册)
My first danmei finished in 2026 was The Ace Gossip Squad (王牌八卦小分队).
It's a sand sculpture popcorn read with fantasy elements that I finished in one sitting.
36. Can't I Not Be the Emperor? (皇位非我不可吗)
37. Old-Fashioned Soup Shop (老火汤铺)
38. I Can Do It, Let Me Come (我行让我来)
39. The Chief Grand Secretary's Little Yao Guai (首辅大人家的小妖怪)
I think I'm still single because:
1. I'm ace/aro
2. I love myself more (not saying that I'm a narcissist)
3. I'm not a masochist
4. (maybe) nobody's interested in me 🤷🏻♀️
