   I suspect the first book is the author's fishing diary, as the author includes pictures for every fish he describes. The second book is okay, but a bit filler. I only started reading the third book, and it's just that the plot twists are a bit too overpowered.

    Both are written by the same author, and I personally think he's the best author of fishing and farming novels. The protagonist has distinct characteristics, and his various cheat abilities aren't overly exaggerated. There aren't any brainless characters or disgusting profit-sharing schemes involving brothers, relatives, and friends. The protagonist is rather shrewd, self-serving, and decisive. I currently highly recommend the second book, where the protagonist chases after tribulations in various places, finding animals undergoing tribulations (if they fail, he makes soup; if they succeed, he uses a cunning strategist to kill them) to strengthen his cheat abilities.
