    Brief introduction The first, second, and last books are all quick transmigration stories. The first two books all have tragic endings (BE) in every world, but the very last one has a happy ending (HE). Trust me, aside from the endings, the rest of these two books are heartbreaking—highly recommended. The last book has BE in every world before the transmigration, which leads to a HE. If you want to read BE stories, then read the first ten worlds. However, the last book isn't as angsty as the first two. The third book is my absolute favorite quick transmigration novel, bar none. Every world is incredibly angsty, but it seems there's no romantic pairing yet. However, someone has written a sequel, which is very good and worth checking out. Highly recommended! Four or five of them are romance novels with tragic endings. They are similar to short stories and seem to be based on true events. They are the most heart-wrenching romance novels I have ever read!

    The first book is very short, narrating the events through letters; the male and female protagonists have a tragic ending. The second book features two different main characters, and it's likely that most of the stories end badly.

    The first book is okay at the beginning, but the later parts... You'll have to read it yourself. Recommendation rating: 4.5 Stars.

Recommendation rating: 4 stars.
