    The first book, I can only say it's an ultimate wish-fulfillment novel. The protagonist is blessed with ultimate plot armor, encountering all sorts of good deeds. It also blends Eastern and Western cultures, so it doesn't feel empty. Just read it and you're done. The second book, following the Battle Through the Heavens series, continues the "trash-to-riches" wish-fulfillment novel. The male protagonist is born with great fortune, but is tricked into becoming a complete waste, only to have an unexpected divine encounter, returning to his peak, reclaiming everything that belongs to him, and step by step reaching the top of the world.
