   I've read all of these. The sixth one is a pseudo-male-oriented novel, with a female protagonist transmigrating into a male character, but it's really good, only the ending isn't great—a typical Chinese happy ending. "Born Towards the Sun" doesn't have a system or cheat system, while the third and last ones do, and they're still readable.

   The first and second books are by the same author. The first book is about the entertainment industry, and the second is about the past in Northeast China. I found them both very readable. The third and fourth books are by the same author, both telling stories of train conductors, and they felt very realistic. The fifth book is about soul transmigration, and then it's a story of gradual struggle, with a slight touch of business warfare towards the end. The sixth book isn't about rebirth; it's an inspirational story about building up one's hometown, and it's quite good.
