    Highly recommended! These are two novels featuring two protagonists, the first being a gentle, top-heavy character with a multi-faceted bottom. The top respects the bottom deeply, the author's emotional descriptions are delicate, and the writing is gentle and nuanced. Both are strong characters. The second and third are episodic novels, with a system finding different hosts to travel to different worlds. The stories are all interesting and unconventional. The fourth is also a quick transmigration novel, with the top and bottom being the same person. The first few stories are sweet and sour, very enjoyable, with a touch of fantasy and supernatural elements. The later stories are quite sweet. The fifth is highly recommended; it's a folk supernatural story. The top is an honest, hardworking coffin bearer who knows how to farm, while the bottom is a very relatable, domineering CEO. The interactions between the top and bottom are very engaging, the characters are well-developed, both are strong, and both are very sweet and satisfying.
