    Reader note

    The first book features a male protagonist who is reborn, changes his fate, and manages to avoid any ambiguity. The second book has a female protagonist who is only seven years old; the system is righteous but the cheat ability is only slightly useful. This isn't a wish-fulfillment novel; it's about an ordinary mortal struggling to survive after transmigrating! The third book is one I absolutely love—over 800 chapters! There are no women of the same age around him. It's rare to find a story where the real and fake young masters are closer than brothers! There's no competition between male and female protagonists, not even any descriptions of romantic entanglements between women. The male protagonist focuses solely on his career, and his family, including his adoptive parents and the real young master, genuinely follow in his footsteps. Importantly, without a cheat ability, the male protagonist wouldn't be making soap, glass salt, or anything like that to get rich! The fourth book is also one I love—no ambiguity, no harem, and every character, including the female characters, has highlights and intelligence! The ghosts are incredibly intelligent and cunning! The male protagonist doesn't have a cheat ability; he relies solely on his intelligence. He struggles to survive amidst ghosts both inside and outside the dungeon! [Smirk] The fifth book is a rare example of a positive military image in a post-apocalyptic survival story. It's not the kind of story where the protagonist has an overpowered, superhuman ability to build their own team or base. This military story is great! The sixth book has a very touching mother-daughter relationship! The female lead is ruthless and decisive, leaving no human traffickers alive. She hunts down anyone with blood ties who knows the truth, even children who were switched at birth. Yet, she also has a kind heart, offering help to strangers who show her kindness. Her biggest enemy is protected and lingers for a while, but it's not a big deal. In the end, she ensures her enemy's soul is annihilated, preventing reincarnation. The seventh book, I think, is an ensemble piece about survival in another world with no real male lead! All the people of the Dragon Kingdom are their own protagonists. After reading too many stories with overpowered protagonists, I sometimes prefer stories about national righteousness. After all, no matter what disaster strikes, the country is always the first to act—floods, earthquakes, epidemics. The last book features a female protagonist who transmigrates to a primitive world and relies on her mother to teleport things to help her. Later, the mother and the country cooperate, creating a story of communication between the two worlds. I read this a long time ago and thought it was pretty good. Most of the books I recommend aren't overly powerful, superhuman stories. Because I've gotten tired of wish-fulfillment novels these past two years, I prefer more realistic and relatable stories. Personally, I recommend volumes 3, 4, 2, and 7! Volumes 3 and 4 are absolutely amazing!!
