voodoocactus's review of Something's Not Right

4/5: Emperor Jingren hits his head and wakes up to a world where everyone is deeply, deeply weird! Us readers learn by ch3 that the world is filled with dimension hoppers/system players/transmigrators who all want to get close and intimate with the Emperor. Too bad for them because the Emperor only wants to spend time with his Empress–except that she’s a he and the Emperor curiously isn’t bothered by it too much.

voodoocactus's review of 纯属意外 | Purely by Accident

3/5: There’s a reason I don’t do romcoms, namely my low tolerance for second-hand embarrassment either because of plot twists or main character/s repeated subpar decision making.

Wei Zisong, whose father is a small town government official (OR IS HE?), moonlights as a bandit chief whom her merry comrades gift a princess all gift wrapped and everything. We have the eldest imperial princess Chu Feichen who want...
