   The first three are my personal picks for the "infinite flow" genre; just read them and you're good to go. The fourth one starts off as a wish-fulfillment story but then declines a bit; the overpowered protagonist becomes too overpowered, the suspense abruptly ends, and it's all just for the sake of being entertaining, so I didn't continue reading. The fifth one is a recent substitute for the third one, which is still ongoing, and it's pretty good; I've read over 200 chapters and so far there are no downsides.

    I recently found a really classic infinite flow novel. The low rating is just because there aren't many reviews. Trust me, it's definitely top-tier on Tomato Books. The protagonist relies purely on intelligence, not some kind of cheat-like genius. The story is very logical, and even the strange occurrences have their own behavioral logic. The descriptions are also very well done; there are no mindless banter with supporting characters, no filler descriptions of appearances, and no interrupting monologues from the protagonist.

    The first book is excellent from the second story onwards, characterized by numerous plot twists.

    Just take a look. I never recommend anything below 9/10. I'm picky, but honestly, these are all pretty good. First, I recommend book number 6, my personal favorite. The plot, writing, and depth are all excellent. The second book is also okay, but it's the author's first novel, so the writing isn't guaranteed. The later parts are good, but unfortunately, the ending is bad. The protagonist is Zhao Yi. It's the author's first book, and while the writing and plot are good, it's still being updated. If you like mystery and horror, you should definitely read it; it's a bit mentally taxing. [Kiss emoji] The third book is definitely a satisfying read, funny and a bit angsty. It's great for relaxing. The protagonist is smart, and the supporting characters don't drag. Everyone is intelligent, so it's satisfying from beginning to end. The fifth book has two male leads, but the romance is minimal, which I can accept. It's logically sound, very immersive, and the ending was unexpected.
