   I'd like to recommend my own infinite flow novel. It starts as a pure love story with a single female lead, and both the male and female leads are strong, growing together without instant success. True feelings develop through shared hardships. Currently, the worlds I'm experiencing are from movies and anime, but I'll be adding game-adapted novels and original worlds later, based on their power levels and the plot. The world-building is vast, featuring clashes between forces from multiple universes. Those interested can check it out! [Under Construction][Under Construction]
