I really should stop reading these when they update, and only read them after the digital release of the official translations, because usually I just want to dwell in that world some more... but I’m not gonna! I like these writers too much!
This is some top tier fanfiction, not just in this fandom, but overall. Not quite all time top 10, but definitely top 20.
10/10.

Summary:
Rozemyne goes back in time to when she was Myne. To make things go smoother this time, she wonders...what if she poses as a noble from the start? She laundered her identity as Rozemyne anyway, right? Why not con her way into a noble! Puhi!
But as our book-loving shumil poses as a Linkberg Wolf, the butterfly effect takes place in unexpected ways...
The Disciples of Erantura collaborate to make an Ascendance of a Bookworm retrograde fic. We hope you guys like it!
This meditation didn’t have the depth of mind where I ‘hear’ percussion sounds in my head. I knew it was going to be a relatively shallow meditation the moment I realised that I wasn’t arriving at the depth of mind where I am able to ‘hear’ life energies crackling through my brain cells.
It’s possible that my sense of hearing didn’t interiorise deep enough. It is also possible that my attention sensed an entirely new and life changing depth of mind coming up and then chose to keep me away from it by not letting my sense of hearing interiorise.
In the last 20 minutes of the meditation, I affirmed for harmony many times. I also conducted the count breathing exercise. All that I could remember to do, I did. In the first 40 minutes of the meditation, my attention was trying to reach a decent depth of mind.

Interesting beginning, thought I kind of hate the stories that don’t start with a proper back story or a good prologue.

Summary:
Centuries before Proud Immortal Demon Way’s main story begins, Shen Yuan transmigrates as an NPC demon.
The things he achieves over the next few centuries can be summarized as such: he unknowingly becomes a demon lord, singlehandedly saves both the Eastern and Western Demon Realms from perishing, accidentally contaminates a Human Realm mountain with poisonous demonic trees and consequently becomes the ruler of a city, and picks up a kid called Xiao Jiu who he practically adopts—
Woah, wait a minute, isn’t this kid Shen Qingqiu!? Airplane, you absolute hack! What the fuck is with this tragic backstory???
No more children are going to be fucked over by Airplane’s shitty writing. Nuh-uh, not under his watch. Their Yuan-ge is going to make sure they get the happiness they deserve!
101 ways not to say i do, because who doesn't love weddings?
prev
Andrew paused for a moment. He had an eidetic memory, but he couldn't recall ever telling Nicky about the drive-through chapel they'd found. But of course, one particular loudmouth who knew about the fake wedding came to mind.
"Matt. Matt told you."
"I'm not going to confirm or deny that accusation," Nicky said calmly before returning to a louder volume. "But either way, I should have been one of the first people to know! Aaron's also pissed, by the way!"
Now, why had Nicky gone and told Aaron about it? "Nicky, calm down."
"I will not calm down, Andrew! Ma—my informant also told me that you two don't even have rings! I raised you better than this, Andrew Minyard."
The apartment door creaked open, and a few footsteps later Neil Josten was in front of Andrew, in all his sweaty glory, dabbing at his face with the bottom of his shirt and exposing a midriff littered with scars and accented by toned muscle.
Neil nodded his head at Andrew's phone and raised an eyebrow. Who is it?
Nicky, Andrew mouthed back.
Neil beckoned for the phone, and Andrew happily handed it over. "Hey Nicky," Neil started, only for Nicky's aggravated voice to blare through the speakers, once again lamenting being left out of their wedding.
Neil sighed. "Nicky, it's not a real marriage. We drove through an attraction at Las Vegas that was offering fake marriage certificates and two-minute ceremonies."
Andrew could hear Nicky's response, even if he didn't have the phone: "Yeah, well, that wasn't fake!"
Neil's eyes widened as he locked gazes with Andrew.
