    The first book's protagonist's cheat ability is time-based, and it might add spatial attributes later, but so far I feel the time attribute isn't very useful; it might improve later. The second book, in my opinion, is very good; it's about the decisive child in the Six Paths of Reincarnation (I think I read it a long time ago). The third book, *The River of Time*, believe me, it's amazing; it's Tomato's most deeply romantic book. (The first book currently has no female lead, but I feel the author is going to add one, and the romance is decent. The second book also has no female lead, but you can ship couples; the author himself does too. The third book is a bit different; it's a female lead-less book, so it's hard to explain—you have to read it yourself.)

    The first book is a post-apocalyptic ensemble novel where the male lead doesn't have time travel abilities, but the main character's abilities are extremely strong, and the second male lead has time travel abilities and lightning powers. The second book has a main character with time travel abilities from the beginning and is a single-female lead novel.
