Guardian Vol 1

Time to Read:

1–2 minutes

Guo Changcheng’s first day at the Special Investigations Department of the Public Security Bureau was certainly not what he expected; it started late at night when he had to go to HR, and later in the day he joined Director Zhao Yunlan for an investigation. During the investigation, while Zhao Yunlan had to drag around his useless nepotism intern, he meets with Shen Wei, a university professor who has his own secrets and to whom Zhao Yunlan feels undeniable attraction.

Bilibili Comics Shutdown

Time to Read:

1–2 minutes

On January 24th, 2024, Bilibili Comics announced the shutdown of the service on February 29, 2024. There’s a lot that can be said about Bilibili Comics and how they have operated in the past 2, 2.5 years, but the conclusion is the same, whether the criticism is positive or negative, so there’s not much point in discussing all the issues and their, at times questionable or failed, solutions.

The service has continued to be updated with new chapters, possibly due to the fact that people have paid for Early Access. But I personally think that should have been refunded when there was just 1 month to the shutdown of the service if the purpose is early access. It’s not “early” if the service shuts down. That’s more like a scam.

We’re on the finale days and they have definitely not offered a few days of free access for all so they’ll end the service with this scam as well.

Over these years, I’ve actually used Bilibili Comics quite frequently, and have read a lot. So I went through the entire title list at the time of writing the initial intro (2 weeks ago) and listed each that I have at some point read, or tried to read, to share what I thought about it and how much I read. Some are available on other sites as well, or they are adapted from novels. I’ll try to share as much information as I can about these, and I’ll also add links when there are any other sources to read the titles in English, either novel or comic.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System vol 2

Time to Read:

1–2 minutes

Three years passed with Shen Qingqiu living a perfectly peaceful life — when he wasn’t out travelling, he might have given his disciples some guidance, and now and then he needed his medicine as well. One day, though, he got a sudden quest, and to his horror, it turned out that this quest was not only demons feeding themselves; Luo Binghe has already returned from the Endless Abyss. Now he had to get away, and quick! But things are never easy for Shen Qingqiu, and even after changing his hardware, he didn’t get rid of that virus of a system haunting him.

“Dumbfuck author, dumbfuck novel!”

After cursing out the novel Proud Immortal Demon Way and its author with his last breath, Shen Yuan woke up in an unfamiliar place. Having promised himself not to ask anything stupid if he ever transmigrated, he was quick to adapt… and realised to his horror that he was the villain with the most miserable end in the very novel he cursed out, and with an annoying system telling him to improve the novel to boot. Can he improve the story, fill plot holes and not kill himself in the process?
