    [I also highly recommend] Both deserve a 9.9 Rating!!! The first one has a wildly imaginative plot, never boring, full of suspense and imaginative twists; I dare say it's one of the masterpieces in the thriller genre! The second one's protagonist enjoys a smooth and satisfying journey without feeling frustrated, and it's also lighthearted and funny. The third one has a unique plot, with interconnected events that get more and more addictive as you read! The fourth one has well-developed, relatable characters with emotions, and the plot is full of foreshadowing; the protagonist group grows stronger step by step, overcoming obstacles and facing increasing challenges—it's thrilling and inspiring. The fifth one is a cyberpunk cultivation novel with a fresh and rich plot. The sixth one is a masterpiece of online game novels!
