    I recommend these two underrated but excellent novels: ① The first one, written in the first person, is about extreme pressure, the author's childhood experiences, Chinese-style parents, and schizophrenia. ② The second one, without a system, is a suspenseful supernatural thriller, also written in the first person. It's chilling upon closer reading, with many intricate details. ③ Both books are rated 9.5, guaranteeing quality; you can read them with confidence.

And so... “Cousin, what's your name?” “Cousin, what grade are you in?” “Cou...” After being bombarde 155.1kReads9.5Score31kShelves

    The first book features a sword as the main character, creating a strong sense of destiny. It's set in the same world but at different times, and the protagonist acts as a catalyst. The second book is like the Story of Yanxi Palace, which I found incredibly well-written, with perfectly balanced characters and a fantastic ending. The third book features an old man named "Grandpa" who is a ring, a coming-of-age story.

    This book, though a slow burn, boasts delicate writing, a clear logical plot, an older male lead who falls head over heels in love, a seemingly refined but actually depraved character, and a clear-headed female lead with impeccable values ​​who constantly runs away and is never love-struck.
