   1. "I Get Stronger When I'm Tagged" is a comedy with elements of cunning and a super-rich protagonist. I learned a lot of Chinese proverbs from it. 2. "I Became a Cultivator After Failing the College Entrance Exam," an urban fantasy novel with a system element, considered one of the best cultivation novels. 3. "Get Stronger by Arguing with People": An urban fantasy story with a system element. The later parts seem to have more of a focus on showing off and getting slapped in the face. 4. *Super Live-in Son-in-Law*: A story combining a live-in son-in-law, urban setting, and a legendary doctor. It vividly portrays the flaws in human nature, including its kindness, weaknesses, ugly thoughts, and narrow-mindedness. 5. *The Underachiever's Comeback: I Get Stronger by Reading*, a modern fantasy novel combining urban setting and treasure appraisal, considered one of the best treasure appraisal books. 6. *The Tycoon: Become Stronger by Spending Money, Shocking the World*, featuring multiple female leads, technology, and entertainment; the language is simple yet elegant. 7. *The Female CEO's Personal Son-in-Law*, an urban fantasy/rebirth story, this one is a bit gory. 8. *Spiritual Qi Revival: I Become Stronger by Farming Achievements*, an urban fantasy story combining elements of time travel and fantasy, where characters bravely live amidst endless tenderness and love.
