The Gambler and the Queen of Ruin

Silas wants a quiet life. Elara wants a king of ruin. Silas is a retired god hiding as a bartender in a lawless magical frontier. He holds the Arcane Deck, a system capable of rewriting reality, but he has sworn never to use it again. Elara, the Witch of Calamity, disagrees. Beautiful and dangerously obsessed, she creates disasters just to force his hand, desperate to resurrect the monster he used to be. With every card he draws, the Karma Debt rises. Now, Silas must gamble against the universe to survive the one thing more dangerous than a bullet: a woman who loves his darkness more than him. Peace was never in the cards.

Shanghai Gambler Lord

In 1937, Shanghai was engulfed in treacherous turmoil. Divided into three domains—the Chinese District, the French Concession, and the International Settlement—the city became a tangled web of scheming forces: Japanese invaders, traitorous collaborators, and the Green Gang, each harbouring sinister ulterior motives. Chen Tianci, a humble dock labourer, gambled away all his savings in a reckless game while trying to raise money to cure his grandmother back in the countryside. Pushed to the brink of despair, he devoted himself relentlessly to mastering gambling skills—card shuffling, dealing, and identifying cards by sound. He soon awakened an extraordinary power of perception. From then on, he dominated the gambling circles of Shanghai, eventually rising to become the legendary God of Gamblers. Sato Ichiro, a Japanese military officer, sought to recruit him as an ally. Su Xiwen, a traitor, led six ruthless executioners to lie in wait for him, while the Thirteen Titans of the Chinese District vied to draw him into their fold. Yet Chen Tianci remained unyielding to all enticements. He never forgot why he gambled: all the gold and silver he won was turned into grain for the common folk, tuition fees for impoverished students, and ammunition for the anti-Japanese resistance. This is not merely the legend of one man, but the unwavering integrity of a loyal heart standing firm in chaotic times. When the nation faced mortal peril, the chips on the gambling table were destined to become the stakes for the survival of the Chinese nation.

Writing Quality is 4.3/5 from me since the way the author describes things were easy to understand and wouldn't be much problem unless you're such a picky grammar reader. The update's stability is five, considering how the author able to update many chapters on the same day. Looking at the way the story goes fairly smoothly and logically without any hint of awkward development, I guess 4.7 is not a bad rate for the story development. Here's the unique. The MC was a gambler, but unlike any other gambler, he is surprisingly the opposite of a bad gambler, a good gambler with family being the centre of his life. He was bold enough to leave his job/hobby as a gambler to make his family's relationship goes well. The MC's wife also quite mischievous and tend to prank MC and her son. There is this moment where the MC's wife also broke out in tears upon knowing the MC's source of money was entirely came from gambling. This shows how MC's wife is another human being and not an expressionless robot, unlike in some novels. The MC's son was designed like a child of his age. Full of curiosity, childish, and reckless. The author has described the world background perfectly at the start of the novel. Hence, 5 stars from me <3

Too many plot holes and inconsistencies. The Mc is 17 but acts like a 50 year old chain smoking Chinese gambler. Vaguely racist and misogynistic comments are seen throughout .

The daily life of opening a dessert shop in the galaxy

Text: There was a dessert shop right opposite the Treasure Island of the galactic garbage disposal station. Wen Xun felt that it must be the best dessert shop she had ever eaten. The manager was a good-looking man with a weird temper, and the part-time shop assistant was an internet-addicted girl who only knew how to use the heater in the shop and not work. Missy X, Half Bio-Human, Black-bellied Male Lead Also known as "On How a Chef Overwhelms Pirates","I'm in my twenties, I'm tired, I'm dancing in the kitchen," and "What made the daughter of the former Chancellor of the Exchanges serve tea and water to be the woman behind the successful chef?" "What else can you do other than surfing the internet here?" Xu Zhili put his hands on his hips and gritted his teeth. "I'm going to the garbage dump next door to pick up trash." Wen Xun is righteous and has no sense of guilt Reading Guide: 1. An empty world view. If there is any similarity, it will be a coincidence! 2. The author's reasoning is terrible. Basically, he doesn't have overly complicated reasoning (in fact, he can't write it). There may be loopholes in his logic. Please spit it out. 3 double C's, the plot is generally easy without abuse

Mad Immortal

I've transmigrated and picked up a 'small bottle' that can accumulate spiritual liquid to hasten the growth of spiritual herbs. Humph. It was a standard mortal opening… Wasn't it going to take off? The corners of my mouth curled up slightly as I began to cultivate. - I sat cross-legged, circulating my cultivation technique. I took a deep breath, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I don't look like a human. That's a phenomenon that occurs after becoming an immortal. I was mumbling, and there were whispers in my ears. They were communicating with all things in the world. The villagers said I was crazy. Let them be! Anyway, I'm probably going to become an immortal…
