   The first book is a dark novel, and I feel like it was penalized by the system, so the rating is a bit low. The protagonist is intelligent but utterly inhuman, and the writing is excellent. The second book is a ruthless and satisfying read, though it can't really be called dark. Neither of these two protagonists are saints, which is quite good.

    The first book is a villain among villains, a post-apocalyptic zombie novel. It's not the traditional hoarding of supplies; the protagonist is intelligent, cunning, and powerful. The story has exciting moments, and there's no romantic pairing, but you can ship them yourself. Many readers will ship Li Shouyun and Chi You (the main characters). There are a couple of chapters in the beginning where the protagonist seems a little too kind, but don't worry about it; just read the author's comments and skip them. It won't affect the story, and such scenes don't appear later. The second book is a classic; most people have read it. You can easily find summaries online, so I won't elaborate. It's still considered the most deeply moving book by Perfect Tomato. The third book is by the same author as the second, who calls it Tomato's number one villain. I haven't read it yet, but it should be good, given its high rating. The fourth book is, well, very scary. Don't read it while secretly staying up late; you'll experience an extremely thrilling sense of death. The fifth book is okay; it has some potential, but the beginning is verbose. Just read it casually; don't have too high expectations. The sixth book, a recently popular "favored concubine" novel, is quite good. The protagonist is ruthless and slightly overpowered. There is no romantic pairing. It's worth reading.

    The villainous White Snake Immortal, having lived for a thousand years, had read countless novels written by humans. Those fantasy novels always spoke of retribution for killing the innocent, yet humans, when cutting down trees, gathering herbs, killing animals for their skin and elixir, never mentioned "innocence" or "retribution," taking it all for granted. Even more ridiculous, some people like to talk about "saving all living beings," but their definition of "all living beings" is extremely narrow, specifically referring to human society and excluding all other creatures. When disaster struck, was there a problem with the White Snake Immortal prioritizing the salvation of her own kind? Of course there was! At least in some people's eyes, the White Snake's failure to prioritize saving humans was her fault, deserving divine punishment! The White Snake Immortal was a snake, so she had many grievances against humans. But if the roles of humans and snakes were reversed, and snakes became the world's rulers, then she would certainly adopt the same methods as humans, enslaving all things in heaven and earth, relentlessly suppressing other highly intelligent beings, and exterminating any species that might threaten the snakes' dominance! Ultimately, the White Snake Immortal wasn't resenting humanity's injustice and double standards, but rather resenting why snakes hadn't been able to replace humans as the world's dominant species. As for the so-called "Heavenly Way," if such a thing as divine retribution truly existed, as humans describe it, humanity itself would likely be the first to suffer. As the dominant species in this world, humans shouldn't expect the existence of a Heavenly Way.

When other people transmigrate, they either end up in a cultivation world, where one sword can overwhelm ten thousand enemies, or in a historical dynasty, where they can change history and hold power over the court.

    The first book is absolutely fantastic; I've been following it since 2020. The protagonist, Ling Xiao, manipulates the world behind the scenes. The second book features a shameless protagonist, Chu Xiu, who is incredibly shameless, but the plot is decent. The third book features a protagonist, Zhao Qian, whose family background is unparalleled, who controls the country, and who is extremely rational, not brainless.
