    If I had to recommend something, I'd highly recommend the first three. The first one is a long time ago; it's a novel about immortality and worth rereading. I first read it a long time ago when I was looking for lighthearted, fast-paced stories, and my taste wasn't great. I read this one specifically for the unlimited power-ups, but later I felt a touch of the vicissitudes of immortality. My second reading was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I found Chen Xia's character and way of handling things quite interesting, haha. Although I knew part of the plot beforehand, I was still deeply moved at key points. There are so many interesting stories in Weixi Town, the Azure Sky Sword Sea, the World Realms, and the myriad heavens. Don't laugh, but I cried many times while reading it. The first book is worth it: Big Yellow Dog, Red Feather, and Chen Xia. It's a high-martial arts, pure, and exhilarating read. No need to say more; if you dare question General Ye Li, you're just thinking of flying. The second book, Zhang Qing, Qing Zun, and Wan Shi Long Zun, starts with a small system, but it's only briefly mentioned. However, as the curtain rises, the power struggle unfolds, and the characters appear, the story gradually develops. It feels like it gets going in the early to mid-stages, with some novel and interesting elements. The story and the power struggles are both good and exciting. The fourth book has a fast-paced, visibly satisfying leveling-up in the early stages. The mid-stage involves battles with various races and creatures containing Chinese elements, which is really interesting. There are many new elements, making it very engaging. The fifth book is a post-apocalyptic novel with around 300 words of review. It's quite good, with exciting battles. It's one of the better post-apocalyptic novels on Tomato, and it has no female lead.
