Way of the Devil

Qidian Translations has a lot of controversy flying around right now. But I'm gonna ignore all of the fuss and just read.

Way of the Devil is a promising read, only 16 chapters out, but it has an immersive quality to it that reminds me of Founder of Diabolism. Another great supernatural read. Think the Winchester brothers without the western influence of angels and demons.

Our hero is an ordinary rich layabout until one day he confirms the truth of his world, there are supernatural predators out there and he is defenseless against them. He is a world jumper - an ordinary salary man in his last life, and now he must shape up or die a miserable death. This world is full of monsters. His best friend's entire family is slaughtered in one night and there are no human suspects.

The only cheat he owns is Deep Blue, a code breaker he developed for a video game, that crosses over with him. And it eats a lot of his energy every time he uses it.

I'm expecting quality here, cause the beginning was so bombastic. Fingers crossed. Keep reading.

Gourmet of another world

A five star Michelin chef dies. He is reincarnated into a world of fantasy with battle mages with a unique system encoded in his mind. He owns a restaurant with a white robot in the kitchen and a freeloading black dog at the door. His goal is to become the God of Cooking.

He needs to collect a lot of crystals for that to happen. Crystals are important tools for cultivators and more precious than gold. His food is priced in crystals. Who will willingly pay that? His food is extraordinary and well worth the price. The ingredients are so special that the price is actually a bargain. High ranked demon beasts, impossible to catch in the wild without sustaining fatal injuries. The restaurant provides all his ingredients as long as he finishes his quests in time. His rewards take him small steps closer to leveling up.

Will he win his dream and build a new reality? Or will he falter and fail and surrender all hope and ambition?

This story is translated by Qidian International, really good website and quality works here.

He meets an unfavored prince, a sarcastic loli, a beauty duo: brother and sister, fat nouveau rich trashes, and an emperor but he makes them all follow his rules or be stripped naked and tossed out!

Kind of a dull description, but the story is rocking. Mood's a bit off today.

Mei Gongqing


She is finished. She did it all to get the crown, her man's heart, plotted and schemed, faked and lied, and now he's marrying her worst enemy. In a harem, other concubines don't matter as long as she holds his heart but he's replacing her with her cousin. That is a problem, unsolvable, unfixable. Her life is as good as over.

My terms, I'll end this all on my terms, and she sets herself on flame and burns to death, after knowing for sure that her true love does not care for her life or death. Afterlife, there is none, she awakens in the past with all her bitter memories intact. Never again will she live like a hapless fool.
Never again will a man rule her heart and enslave her mind. She will be free and independent.

But life is not so easily won over, there is hell to walk through all over again, she may know the pitfalls to avoid, but with new step her destiny alters and new dangers spring out of the shadows.

She reveals her insight as prophecy and her wisdom gained through harsh experience as maturity.

The man she wants to avoid this life time chases her. Mysterious is the heart, when she wanted him, he cared not, when she ignores him, he desires her.

The man she never thought of as an option, the gorgeous beauty who died in the prime of his life, worshiped by all, ally and enemy alike, looks back at her when she stares at him like a thief.

The man she never met before, one she treats as a brother, he thinks of her as a mischievous goddess, the only one he will ever love.

Life is funny and rebirth is crazy, but this time, she will live fearlessly and shamelessly, a life just for her own self. All benefit gained will be mine.

No more Spoilers cause you must read the actual story. Do it now, that is my order.
