   I won't say who got fooled 😭 I was looking for a lighthearted romance game novel to pass the time! The title suggested sweet and interactive gameplay, but once I entered the game, I was trapped in a desolate city. One second we were flirting and arguing, the next war was raging, and everyone was armed to defend the city. Romantic love is utterly fragile in the face of life and death; there are so many regrets and separations. It gets more and more tear-jerking as you go on, and I completely broke down in the second half. It has a huge aftereffect; if you're easily moved to tears, I suggest having tissues ready!

He picks up a socially awkward senior—it's sweet, funny, and entertaining (it's been published!). Second is an absolute sweet romance, so sweet! And the female lead only appears around chapter 400, so there's no need to worry about a harem. The writing is delicate, and the emotions are rich. Third has excellent character development; you can see Zhu Biao's family's rule, the psychology of an emperor, and Zhu Biao's benevolence—the diverse lives of the people (though updates are slow). Fourth has no scheming mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts or petty sibling rivalries; it's just a family united in their daily lives, working together. Everyone has their strengths; they're truly a loving family. There's no typical system or overpowered cheat codes; it's very normal, realistic, and the characters are all very relatable and emotionally resonant.
