    A top student is a top student to begin with, but what if a top student had a system? Many rebirth novels usually feature a weakling who gains a system and becomes a top student, but in this book, the student is already a top student. This reverse operation is quite unexpected and the setting is indeed very intriguing, drawing me in step by step to read on.

    The first one was written by a physics teacher, but the main character isn't a student. It's really good, and it really makes my brain think; I feel like knowledge is drilling into my head [eating melon emoji]. The second and third ones are also good, but I personally feel the third one is better and more positive (national in nature; the second one is more personal).
