    The protagonist in the first book gains strength by relying on others' cultivation, and only intervenes when absolutely necessary. However, there's a flaw at the beginning (some people might find it hard to accept): the protagonist's cultivation can have a negative effect, though others may not know it. For example, his teacher might supervise and force him to cultivate. But I think this is negligible; what he gains from others' cultivation far outweighs what he loses through his own efforts. In the second book, no matter how much the system tries to persuade the protagonist to leave the starting village and fight monsters, the protagonist stubbornly stays in the village and doesn't participate in the fighting and killing in the martial arts world (there is a female lead, so be careful). The third book doesn't have a system; the protagonist is a shameless county magistrate. I think it's better than most system novels—very funny, the kind that makes me laugh so hard I'm pounding my bed. The protagonist of the fourth book is the director of a mental hospital, who sends his patients to fight the entire game without ever lifting a finger himself.
