    I'm recommending myself. Both of my works are under 50,000 words each, and I believe my writing is sophisticated, not simplistic, and I don't treat readers like idiots. The first is a modern campus story with a touch of the supernatural. A brief summary: the female protagonist dies and is forcibly given a government job by the underworld, using this opportunity to redeem her best friend. The second is an ancient female protagonist power fantasy. A brief summary: the female protagonist, born with superhuman strength, goes from being a hunter's daughter to a bandit leader, then rebels and becomes a renowned general before retiring to a peaceful life. Perhaps it's because of the cover and title that no one's reading... My dear readers, please give me a chance, please!

    Story Summary: The first book is a short story of 4,000 words that I wrote myself. The second book, which I'm currently reading, features characters like Qin Shi Huang and Liu Bang, who have significant roles. These aren't short stories, but they're all very good. Here are ten excellent books rated 9 or higher. I've read them all. The third book is my favorite, but it's still being updated, two to three times a day.
