   These books are all historical fiction with elements of war and conquest, and all have good ratings. The first one is about a protagonist who travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan. He starts as a dozen or so defeated soldiers and grows into an army of hundreds of thousands, driving the Japanese out of the country. Later, he conquers new territories and stabilizes his power. The author says he will eventually conquer the Japanese homeland. The second one is a fast-paced, action-packed story. The protagonist is empowered by a system, his gun, and his soldiers, and he's ready to fight the foreign powers and the Japanese. The third one is about naval warfare, featuring powerful ships and cannons. Those who like this kind of story can check it out. The fourth one is about rapid promotion and troop expansion. If you don't get promoted, they'll hold a gun to your head. The fifth one is about a warlord who unifies the country and develops his power. If you can't develop, then fight! The sixth one is about a story I read a while ago, so I don't remember the details. [Awkward laugh] These books all have ratings of 9 or higher. They've been tested, so please enjoy them.

    Reader note

    A slow-burn political intrigue story, the first few chapters lay a lot of groundwork, and it gets more and more captivating as you get past the beginning. The male protagonist keeps a low profile throughout, deliberately pretending to be mediocre and unremarkable, and everyone underestimates him. But every glance and every response is full of calculation. There are no intense conflicts; the game is played through words and subtle actions. The more you read, the more you realize how unfathomable the protagonist's mind is.
