   Both are non-romancer academic novels. The first one is more lighthearted and humorous, not a pure research-focused academic novel, while the second one is a pure research-focused academic novel. Both are enjoyable reads (I personally found them very enjoyable), and the authors update consistently, sometimes even releasing multiple chapters at once (especially the first one).

    1. No female lead, no ambiguous relationships, no particularly idiotic plots, and the female characters aren't portrayed in a cookie-cutter way. The male lead doesn't just rely on the system; he has his own thoughts and efforts. Later on, he's not just dealing with math; he also gets involved in physics and chemistry. 2. The male lead was originally a top student, but after binding with the system, he plays King of Glory to improve his learning efficiency, and his learning in turn improves his game efficiency. Like the first book, there aren't any disgusting plots or descriptions, and there are some excellent female characters. Hmm, it feels like there's a bit of an ensemble cast. It's also a satisfying read. 3. To be honest, the ending felt a bit rushed; some plot points weren't finished. However, it's undeniably quite good. I won't go into the ambiguous relationships; the protagonist's passion is studying. Although he has a cheat-like ability to deal 999 damage with a single hit, the protagonist's primary focus is self-improvement. The competition parts later on are incredibly satisfying; he's consistently in first place 😊😊
