I'm in love with this story. I'm actually terribly picky and on this platform, and have only liked about 4 novels and I have read a TON on this, but this story is really good. The Writing Quality is amazing. Honestly, its easy to understand and follow, but also nicely described I can imagine it perfectly and the prose is immersively written in a way that I personally enjoy. The story develops slow and steady, yet doesn't drag on. Sometimes I feel like stories just take ages to form, or are just too fast that everything feels rushed, but this feels balanced. Stuff gets explained, but not too much that it takes away the mystery of other characters and it still sparks the curiosity. I really enjoy the characters and they seem realistic. I can understand them, but that doesn't mean I find some of them less disgusting! XD This Novel updates A LOT in a week (about, like 7 times) The World Background is nice as well, I learn a lot more things than I usually do, and the notes of the Author are informative as well. Personally, I want to learn more information and suck it up like a sponge, so I'm glad that the Author doesn't shy away to explain anything. All in all I can say, the Author radiates intelectual energy and is quite smart :p. Street smart, I mean. Thats way more important than book smart (in my opinion). Its also good to be self-aware, which is why I like this book a lot ^-^.

Thank you very much for your sweet, sweet review! <3 You've been such an engaged reader, I am very grateful to have your support and encouragement spurring me on as I continue to work on this novel's progress! Your feedback too has been incredibly helpful and I appreciate your opinion on the pacing, which I sometimes worry about and spend a lot of time editing to ensure that I don't drag a chapter on for no good reason. Sorry about the disgusting characters XD I can count on one hand the number of characters that are wholly nice and I think I can even afford to amputate on or two fingers without affecting the results. XD It also means a lot to me to know that someone out there is enjoying the little footnotes! ^^ XD I put them in just to clear up confusion but if you like them, that's even better! And lastly, thanks for the compliment XDDD I will continue working hard to see this novel to completion!

Hi everyone! This is Queeniecat, the author of 'From CEO to Concubine'. I told myself I'll only write this shameless self-review after completing 9 days of mass releases for the WPC. So I'm here now! It would have been impossible to accomplish this without all of the support from you, dear readers, so thank you so much for the motivation. I really would have given up on the daily multiple chapters by now if it weren't for the collections, power stones, comments, and reviews! They were really the strongest motivation and I appreciate each and every single one of them. In terms of the story, I would like to reassure everyone that the main plot line has already been planned out. This novel will span 6 distinct volumes, each dictating a progression of our MC Yan Zheyun's OPness! I hope that my writing will be able to portray this journey in an exciting manner. ^^ As for Volume 1, if my detailed plot outlines aren't wrong, there should be 12 chapters more to go. This means that a big climax in the story is coming soon (the clean kind, non-R18 kind unfortunately LOL). Please bear with the slow burn, I promise that the future story will be filled with dramatic, shocking plot developments as well as an epic romance of a lifetime between our MC/ML. <3 Once again, thanks for the support!

I had to point this out first. The writing of this novel is EXCELLENT. Goodness, this is definitely one of the better stories (BL stories at that) that I’ve read on this app. The character description, narration, and dialogue are so creative and cleverly chosen; you can see the author’s intelligence through their words. The world building is perfect (I’m not exaggerating). I’m able to easily tell where everything and everyone is at all times. On top of that, this is an extremely captavating story. (I mean, who doesn’t want to read about a man once at the top, then reduced to the bottom???)(no pun intended🤣) That’s not all, Yan Zheyun is such an admirable character. The author did an amazing job creating him. He’s so clever and quick witted (….and let’s not forget, extremely handsome 😮‍💨✨) I was too afraid to even put the story down. Please please READ!! I definitely recommend this to anyone. As someone who loves historical romances, I will tell any readers like myself, that this story does not disappoint. I haven’t even gotten to the part where the ML is introduced and yet I’m already so excited!! Now, onto reading!! I’m so excited to see how Yan Zheyun will continue on in Yan Yun’s world. (hehe, I hope that’s not a spoiler 😅) I’m even more excited to see the male lead 🤩✨. Lovely job author 🥰🥰

This book raises the standard for all transmigration novels and the best part of it is the MC. He is the best and the most realistic protagonist I have ever read. The story explains real world scenarios instead of the oh-everything-is-so-easy-i-know-the-novel tropes. I can't wait for the future updates of this masterpiece. Thanks for the daily updates, Author🤗.

What I like most of this novel is how well-thought out it is. What I noticed, while some novels tend to focus fully on the transmigrated life of the MC this novel spends some time to give details of the MCs past life in the way that it adds colour to the MCs character and not just glossed over. Other details can also be seen at various points of the story like some side characters' backstory and design without making it too overwhelming or shoving it into the readers' throat. The romantic development is very much realistic and logical like the pace the progress and how it starts all are very much convincing. Language: I like the effort author puts into the archaic language, Chinese poems and terms though there are some terms that I find quite awkward. While there are some minor grammar mistakes here and there sometimes it doesn't really impede reading experience much. All in all, it's one of the gems in this platform that I very much recommend. There's romance, humor some drama with a dash of angst and a cup of b*tchslaps, what more do you ask for?

I absolutely like the main character, he is CEO but suddenly enters to foreign world maybe he felt so strange, confused or scared. This story similar with my another story genre Korean drama : The concubine from 21st century. I always like chinese novel, korean novel, dynasty stories, etc. Beside that, the plot is very interesting, also neatly writing style, the words are easy to understand. All over is good, Nice work Author😃👍

This reads like a professionally published novel 🥰 I’m fairly new to WN, but I’ve taken a few looks around and read the first 40 chapters of enough books to know that this is one of the most well written stories in WN. Besides the level of technical writing, the plot is sensical; intricate; holds enough back to keep you guessing, but reveals enough to make the progression satisfying; and feels like it is actually challenging for the character to overcome. I feel a real sense of danger and tension in the air, not just for the main character, but the side couples, too. The characterization can be described by those adjectives above 😂 and also the characters feel well rounded and intimate, so Reader feels connected to and invested in Yan Zheyun’s struggles, as well as those of his friends and a certain ML 😏😍 (<—that’s all I say about him *coughs* *blushes* *grins* *puts two thumbs up*) The world is deep and not there just to serve the MC; it’s beautifully rendered for us to sink into. No one is OP, so everyone has to play the game and maneuver with words and actions. I could wax poetical about it, but I would rather go read atm 😁 (can you blame me?). I’ll just share that I keep thinking of this story, no matter how many others I read while waiting for chapter releases, so I‘m going to have to reread this from the start soon (you’ll see my commentary along the way 😉) and continue to give all my golden tickets to this book. It really deserves it! Go read it! You’ll be like that one GIF that you always see when you open up the GIF tab:

I can't express enough how highly I praise this work. The story is engaging, the plot grips me and I can barely put it down and stop reading. I feel genuinely concerned for the main character and his happiness. I just want to keep reading! Very hopeful for more of this story.

One of my favorite works on web novel. The writing is compelling and the character's are very lifelike each with their own motivations. Well researched with attention to even the smallest detail.

This story is bomb and I don't usually like transmigration plots. I love that you update constantlyand stay consistent. But really, what's the Emperor's deal? If they stuck to this being a BL, I would support a live action of this but we all know how that goes. [img=update][img=coins][img=fp][img=recommend]

The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[COMPLETE || WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 21+ // Watch Me Burn Them For You] "And if someday you see me, remember to forget my name, or karma will bow." **** For Awuor’s power, her people had done the unthinkable, in the history of werewolves. Her beta and brother, Dom, murdered their mother, the Sicario luna and blamed it on Awuor. In his grief, her father didn't bother to try and find out the truth, instead, for murdering her mother, he gave his daughter the worst punishment any alpha could ever get. He banished her from home, but Awuor’s wasn’t the usual banishment. Her father neither stripped her of the alpha title, nor did he make her a rogue. Instead, Alpha Sicario forced Awuor to be an exiled alpha, a woman so powerful, but with no one to rule over. Her mate, Jer, a power-hungry bastard, stepped up to rule the Sicario pack, since Awuor, the reigning alpha, was away, and Jer never once sought her out. Just like everyone else, he had betrayed her when he claimed a different woman, without rejecting Awuor. As the gates of Sicario closed on her, as her people watched her in disgust and disappointment, the daughter of Sicario had just one thought. A PROMISE of destruction & vengeance; she would ruin them all. *** [EXCERPT] "Either you're from the Dawson pack, the Bluemoon pack, or the Sicario pack, because you're definitely not from our Greyson pack. You must have done something really stupid for your alphas to banish you, even though you have no scent of the ferals. "So that could mean you're not a feral, but you're certainly not that important to your people. You seem to have an attitude and reek of power, that's why you don't appreciate anyone talking to you like a regular wolf. "But all of that doesn't matter right now, because you are the unwanted little wolf. The girl without a home, the rejected wolf who can't be claimed by anyone else. You're dressed in banana leaves because you have no clue how to make proper clothing on your own. "— or even check the feral cloth reservoir on the west of this forest. The fact that you have stayed so close to the other three packs is because you don't want to be away from home and are somehow hoping that they'd want you back. "Allow me to spell it out for you and make it easier for your probably useless brain to understand, little wolf, no one wants you. I'm only taking you to my alpha because your presence here is a nuisance to us, and for some reason, the alpha is interested in you. "And before you get any ideas about mates and whatnot, our alpha is already mated. So will you get up on your own, or do we have to take you stripped? Because I for one have no problem doing that. We could just treat you like the rogue that you're not," Adolf said to Awuor who still had her angry smirk on.

Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Having lived for more than two decades but still a virgin, Bai Chen wanted to end his virginity today as a way to make his girlfriend his Valentine.

Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)

Luciel strived to survive in a world that was suddenly plunged into chaos by monsters. Unfortunately, the base he was staying at didn’t survive the monster tide. So, after surviving in such a world for 7 years, he died. Luciel thought he had died, but when he opened his eyes, he was met with peaceful modern scenery. After looking around, Luciel laughed with joy and said, “Ha ha ha. I can finally enjoy such peaceful scenery again! No more eating expired food! No more sleeping in the open space! And there is no need to fight daily! To whomever brought me here, thank you very much. I will enjoy this life to the fullest!” He also woke up in the body of a male model who had just signed to be the contract lover of their boss. "Hmm, $5 million and a house in the capital as a separation fee, and $100,000 as an allowance every month. The boss also has a handsome face. Ok, no problem!” Luciel did enjoy his peaceful life for a few weeks, but afterwards he found out that the world he was in was the apocalyptic novel he read in his past life. He didn’t want to live in the same way as his past life, so knowing that he was the lover of the protagonist who died in the first chapter because he ran away, he decided to stay and rely on the protagonist. Luciel just wanted to rely on the protagonist to have a better life in the upcoming zombie apocalypse. However, he was forced to deal with the people flocking around to rely on the protagonist, and he was even forced to fight again just to save him. “Hey! I just want to rely on you! Why do I need to deal with a lot of things?” “It’s not my fault that some things happened.” “What did you say?” “Don’t stare at me with such a cold look. Don’t worry; you can continue to relax and just rely on me. You don’t need to care about anything else, as long as you care about me!” “Huh? Are you still dreaming?” ------------ This is a story about how Luciel lives in another apocalyptic world and how his contract relationship with Treyton turned into a real relationship.

The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]

Are you afraid of death? For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier. Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for. Even as he died, he only had a single regret. He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end. His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it. However, it should have ended right there. Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?! The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune! As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?! Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well! "Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?" Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched. It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together. "Why are you so nice to me?" “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed. “You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.” “I like you.” “I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again. “We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left. Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly. The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint! Cover art by: Cherlyswan
