   If you don't like mindless wish-fulfillment novels, you might want to check out this infinite flow story. The protagonist isn't a fighter; he's calm and analytical in the face of adversity. Each instance has a complete world-building and doesn't have a rushed ending. The main plot hides the secrets behind the game, and the male and female leads have a great contrast – one relies on intelligence to clear levels, while the other is responsible for providing backup and fighting. The romance develops gradually without being abrupt, and the overall writing style is realistic, without any unrealistic plot points.

    My latest favorite, I just started reading it, and the author's descriptions are sometimes so vivid and lifelike! It feels so different from the usual clichéd descriptions I read (not a joke, though). It's really good. I don't usually follow serialized novels, but this one is truly different!!! It's a rebirth novel, and I really love this kind of setting. I haven't read this type of novel in a long time because so many are too cliché. Now I finally understand that as long as the writing is good enough, the clichés are simply not a problem! The male lead is a bit of a "shady guy," but he doesn't force love. He's a bit insecure in the beginning (insecurity is a man's best "dowry"). The female lead is also normal. Although she wronged the male lead in her past life, she doesn't just want to be with him later; she just wants to make it up to him. But the male lead falls for her. It's so sweet! Speaking of which, I have to mention the male lead's mother. His father was okay in the beginning, but later he became a gambler and abusive. The male lead finally managed to get his father into prison (at fifteen, he was beaten with a steel bar by his father), only to find his mother and father together during the New Year! I was so angry when I read this part! Xu Jiqing, how could you suffer like this? [Crying] In the end, the money for his sister's cochlear implant (his sister's ear was damaged by his father) was also taken by his father (he took a portion, but most of it was earned by the male lead through his work and competitions). Every time I read this part, I go crazy. I just want to rush in and slap his mother twice (haha, just kidding). Although he was very poor, the male lead was really good to the female lead. In his heart, expensive is good, so he gave the female lead the best he could. The female lead was also very hardworking. Unlike other novels where you rush to take the college entrance exam and end up with a score of 600 or 700, the female lead's grades were not good, and she was not the traditional pale, thin, and cute character. The female lead had a bit of baby fat in the early part, which was especially cute! I want to reach into the screen and give it a little rub, haha! It's an artistic story, and she lost a bit of weight during later training sessions, getting rid of her baby fat and looking especially beautiful. Another thing that really resonated with me about this novel was the "unequal relationship" between the male and female leads. In the beginning, the female lead's family was wealthy, which drew envy, while others could only "tease" her about her figure. So, because of this, the male lead felt they at least had some "similarities." Later, as the female lead changed, everyone's impression of her improved, and the male lead's inferiority complex deepened—it was practically overflowing! In short, I highly recommend this novel. This is the first time I've written such a long book review, so you can tell I really love it! It's an ongoing series, and I'm still following it. Feel free to leave any questions or book recommendations in the comments. It's been a long time since I've read such a good book. I hope you can also recommend some of your favorites; I'm a bit picky about books~

    I recommend this book. It's about childhood sweethearts reuniting after a long separation. Ten years ago, he was a stubborn boy obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine who disliked studying, and she was a top-performing radio host adored by all the boys in school. Ten years later, the boy has risen to become the most famous orthopedic surgeon in Jiangcheng, while the girl returns from abroad to find him. When they meet again, she's a renowned top anchor in Jiangcheng. It's an interesting premise, and the ending is happy. Even a sudden windfall can't overcome a childhood sweetheart.
