来了来了！！Here's my Four Recs of 2024 in low-effort PPTs!

(as usual, I didn't proofread. If you spot mistakes, ignore them)
宋玉章 (Song Yuzhang) by 冻感超人; GENRE(S): Minguo era, Multiple MLs with one endgame ML; Written in 2022, and it’s the novel that made me have hope for the danmei community again, because if you told me this was an old danmei classic written in 2013, i would’ve believed you; If you enjoy extremely strong characterisation and doesn’t have specific squicks that most current danmei audience have nowadays, I recommend this strongly; First completed read in 2024, and I already knew it was going to be my Read of the Year. I was right; Essentially a character journey of a single character. Everything else about the story, including the other MLs are used to further his journey; You can see that through how the novel is named AFTER him, and like his name, his story takes you on a wonderful, beautiful journey in a true minguo style/aesthetic; If you love insanely well characterised characters, this is the novel for you; The author didn’t give a shit whether this will irk the overly sensitive and puritan readers nowadays and just created the story she wanted to create, and you can genuinely see that from how she handled the other characters, the plot development, the decisions she had the characters make etc; Manages to make Song Yuzhang such a frustrating character who makes choices you don’t agree with, all the while managing to make him so insanely charming and captivating it’s no wonder all the MLs fell for him; Song Yuzhang is a scammer who speaks lies as easily as he breathes, and you will get both infuriated and charmed by him 桥头楼上 (End of the Bridge, Top of the Tower) by priest; GENRE(S): Contemporary, mystery, suspense, no romance; Me before this novel: actually, I do have novels I like from priest, but I’m not crazy about priest as an author? Me after this novel: HOLY SHIT PRIEST; For mystery lovers who don’t want to read danmei and are interested in a story by priest that is about connections between girls (not baihe, but it is baihe in my heart <3); A story of webnovel readers who slowly piece together the truth behind this new serialising short story by an author who seemed to be trying to communicate something through this story? If I have to describe this novel with a short phrase, I would say it’s a novel that is essentially “a love letter to girls”; I think this is the most technically taxing story priest has ever written; Priest makes effective use of the story medium as a “webnovel” to almost break the fourth wall and therefore drive in the messages of the story even further; Everything, including grammar errors and spellings, are intentional; It may be just 30+ chapters, but in my opinion, it requires more work to be translated well; I need a good English translation for this novel so bad so that English audiences can read this, I’m so serious 秋燥 (Autumn Fever) by 巫哲; GENRE(S): Contemporary, SOL, comedy, found family; The main CP is a vers couple! And both adults as well. Has the funniest scene I’ve read all year. I’ll never forget the scene of this father-son kneeling in front of each other in public and earning strange looks;Wuzhe outdid themselves in the “my characters can be so poor they sleep in weird places” again with this novel. Now, we have a character who has slept in a coffin because he has nowhere else; …What can I say. Wuzhe has done it again (who is surprised???); A story of someone who is sent to a backwater town to manage a guesthouse; Many of Wuzhe’s stories feature the MC and ML both finding solace in each other and “saving” each other. Here, it’s not just the MC and ML, it’s ALL guesthouse employees. This is what I mean when I say FOUND FAMILY!!!!; There is technically no angst in this, but this didn’t stop me from wiping tears away at heartwarming scenes This is proof that you don’t NEED knives and angst to write a compelling story that will still make you cry (or maybe it’s just me, because I also cried in Sanfu); Also the funniest Wuzhe novel to date, IMO; IMO, a must-read if you like Wuzhe’s style 追尾 (Rear-end Collision) by 潭石; GENRE(S): Showbiz, comedy (?);If you ask me, “Is Eye of the Storm or Rear-end Collision better?” I would say Eye of the Storm. But if you ask me, “Which are you more emotionally attached to?” I would say Rear-end Collision.; Same universe as Eye of the Storm (TFY), but please treat them as separate universes due to the various inconsistencies, especially in relation to LSZ and CY’s characterisation; A no-name actor, who upon after a rear-end collision, meets a rich CEO, and they later evolve into having a seemingly sugar baby-daddy relationship; The setup is extremely cliche, and I went in expecting nothing, but left with a gripping story of a determined actor whose talent was buried maliciously but still insisted on walking the path to achieve his dreams Flawed characters whom I found to be surprisingly realistic, and MC has meaningful relationships with characters who are not the love interest! Found the relationship between MC and his BFF/ex-crush, as well as his relationship to his platonic soulmate to be really compelling, despite the limited screentime; Would love more focus on the ML though, but I forgive this novel since I’m already so pleasantly surprised (ML is very cute and sweet to MC once this dumbass figured his feelings out too, even if he keeps saying R18 things out of nowhere)
