   "I Was Reborn Just for Fun" has been praised by Tomato Writers as a work of literature, receiving a high initial rating of 7.2. "A Dream of Yellow Millet in Another Dimension" was strongly recommended by my son, whom I haven't started reading yet. He says it's particularly appealing to young people. Both books share the following characteristics: rebirth without any cheat codes, and time travel without any spatial abilities. The protagonists must run naked in reality. See how they turn the tide with their own strength.
