A Little Girl's Journey in Another World 异世界幼女之旅
A little girl’s journey in another world. One heroine, a relaxed pace, and a leisurely slice-of-life feel, but with no shortage of “fiery” moments. The overall style leans toward anime-inspired light novels. There is a male lead, but no romantic pairing. With easygoing humor and no tired tropes as its main themes, the story follows a genuinely scheming little girl as she goes on adventures in a virtual otherworld. Rather than focusing on the setting, it puts more emphasis on plot and detail. The

My Rebirth Is So Hard 我的重生太难了
Originally titled My Rebirth Is Too Hard. The current title only reflects the protagonist's ambitions, not what the story is actually about. A slow-burn, everyday-life story. The protagonist isn't a big shot, doesn't take the world by storm, and won't become a billionaire. If you don't like a reborn protagonist without lofty ambitions, don't read it, and please don't leave negative comments! Writing takes effort, so if it's not for you, please leave quietly.
