   The first book, as requested by the original poster, is a recently popular thriller/game-themed novel. Its main highlights are the absence of a female lead, a highly intelligent male protagonist, and extremely brain-teasing intellectual battles. The second book, *Ninth Special Zone*, is by the already well-known pseudo-junior author, famous for his [censored] articles. The team-based strategic battles, planning, and fight scenes in this book are truly the best I've ever seen in [censored] novels—highly recommended. The third book, lured in by its "cool" title, is full of angst (just kidding). Following the protagonist's growth, we encounter all sorts of people and events. The author's writing style is truly a breath of fresh air in the online novel world (but the angst always comes unexpectedly). The fourth book, also a thriller/game-themed novel, features a seemingly easygoing protagonist who makes choices casually, but in reality, it's a well-thought-out, divinely ordained strategy. The protagonist's on-the-spot judgment, intelligence, decision-making ability, and leadership are truly exceptional (although physical strength is a real weakness, his intelligence is enough to crush everything).

    Reader note

    These are all pretty good. [1] To create a brand new future, a grand world [2] The first 100 chapters of this comedy novel will make you laugh to death. [3] The combination of supernatural elements and romance is quite good. The last few chapters have an amnesia trope that I really dislike.
