   Highly recommend! I've been following this author's work since their second book. The first one is still ongoing, almost 200 chapters already, so you can read it without worry. It has no romantic pairings, no fabricated pairings, and isn't an ensemble piece; the content leans towards realism. It mainly focuses on the career and fan base. Career fans will be ecstatic; it's a must-read. Those who love the career-centric storyline and appreciate the author's excellent character will find it even more worthwhile. Both books have systems. 1️⃣ The system is adorable, a cute little apple-shaped bundle. 2️⃣ The system is just supplementary; it's mentioned earlier and doesn't appear much later.

    The first book, which currently seems to have no female lead, is very good; it's about a character with multiple identities. I haven't read the second one in a long time, but it should also be without a female lead. The third book is highly recommended; the protagonist is the gentle and refined type.

    This short story is worth reading if you're bored. The male protagonist dies and transmigrates into the body of a struggling celebrity. The original owner is also diagnosed with a brain tumor, and some of his memories are hazy. The story is mostly set in the entertainment industry, interspersed with various elements of the protagonist helping the darker side of the world. The system provides him with acting, writing, and dancing skills. However, the book has a poor ending. The author wrote out the general ending at the very end, and the protagonist dies, which is quite unique.

    The first book, "Making Money is My Main Job: I'm Here to Be Your Boss," currently has no female lead. The second is a six-book set in the interstellar era, where Chinese civilization shines brightly. The third is a slightly dated entertainment industry novel. The fourth is a parallel world travel story where you think I'm lying, but it's all true, showcasing the brilliance of Chinese cuisine and architecture. The fifth is a parallel world story with musical arrangements, allowing you to listen to songs while reading—a great book for listening to music. The sixth is an ancient story, filled with poetry, songs, and prose; talent can be deadly, words can be scathing, and literary pursuits can lead to sainthood.
