   The first book's male protagonist is a ghost—cool, cute, humorous, powerful, and intelligent—he embodies all these qualities, even possessing a scary side. Don't be fooled by the title. The second book's protagonist is absolutely amazing!! Crazy, cute, and humorous. It has everything you could want—funny, highly intelligent, you name it. The third book is unbeatable!!! Thirdly, you won't find a replacement for this character. The protagonist laughs when he's scared. To outsiders, he's incredibly terrifying. But in his own eyes, he's incredibly weak and innocent. And he can even have multiple personalities, though that only becomes apparent later. Anyway, it's super good; you won't find another character like him.

    Not many, these four lighthearted and enjoyable male-oriented novels are enough to keep you entertained. 1️⃣ Jiu Shen's new book, a fast-paced and exciting cultivation novel for ordinary people. As a 15-year bookworm, I've read the best cultivation novel I've ever read, bar none!! The writing is natural, fresh, and flows smoothly, without the awkward scene descriptions of those so-called high-quality online novels that force fancy language! The plot is expansive and well-paced, with simple and pure healing moments and thrilling scenes where tears and blood fly together! The battles of wits and magic are absolutely brilliant! The characters are also fleshed out and have souls, the protagonist is a well-mannered, courageous, resourceful, emotional, and individualistic person who struggles his way up, the villains are not stiff, and the heroes are not stereotypical. There is no dragging out of romance, no forced sentimentality, and no preaching. 2️⃣ Urban fantasy + realistic literature + suspense + science fiction. The author possesses profound writing skills and keen observation of the working class and social phenomena, giving it a feel of published literature. The reading threshold is slightly high, requiring some patience. However, it's essentially a story of a small person's rise to power, a satisfying tale of triumph. The protagonist starts as a lazy and poor middle-aged migrant worker. The pacing is fast, yet the details are rich and the content is substantial, with a strong cinematic feel reminiscent of Ning Hao's films. Due to my limited physics knowledge, I felt some of the science fiction parts in the later parts became a bit verbose. 3️⃣ A monster cultivation novel. The protagonist is a straight, steel-like snake 🤪, and his transformation into human form happens much later. Written purely from a monster's perspective, it's bloody and savage, yet imbued with a sense of ignorance and absurdity. The supporting characters are all likable, with somewhat cunning stances and no clear distinction between good and evil. The author stated that he initially wanted to completely turn evil and go astray, but Tomato (the author's pen name) wanted to promote positive energy… so sometimes the plot development is a bit awkward. The male-female romance is slightly awkward, but not excessive [you'll appreciate it]. It can be read as a multi-male protagonist novel. The story is tight, the writing is humorous, and you'll often find yourself hitting strange funny bone points. There are many memes, and the famous line "First transform into a god to lead the others to godhood" seems to have been censored. 4️⃣ "Primordial Era: A Novel of Survival and Destiny," the author's first and most famous work, now complete. It nearly reached its peak rating, but the slow update speed caused it to drop. It's on par with that "Steady Senior Brother" novel on a certain online platform, with a relaxed early chapter and a meteoric rise to legendary status later! I won't spoil the plot, but since it's finished, you don't have to wait years for updates like you did back then. Those who haven't read it are in luck! Excuse me for mentioning this first book again! Xiao Ming's early work is already at the level of the later "Primordial Era" novels—it's terrifying!
