    These are the books I consider the strongest!!! The first one has no national destiny or female lead. The protagonist starts with two supreme plans, and the story is quite novel. Whether it's the protagonist's back-and-forth maneuvering between his dual identities or the protagonist's intellectual and physical confrontation with the supernatural, it's all excellent. After the first arc, the characters become more interesting through dialogue, and they gradually become more three-dimensional. Each character has their own personality. You might not feel much in the first fifteen chapters, but you must read to the end!!! The second one has national destiny, but this book is good. Unlike other national destiny ghost stories, which focus on the murals and the arguments between passersby and other countries, making me feel like I'm watching a collection of online arguments rather than a protagonist's national destiny novel, leaving me mentally and physically exhausted and irritable, this book has everything you need. The passersby are introduced in a brilliant and subtle way, without feeling excessive or annoying. The passersby are introduced at just the right time, without mindless online arguments or sarcastic remarks. The book mainly focuses on the protagonist and the rules, which is very good. The third book is a childhood cult classic. It has no female lead, a system, and a good theme—a kind of supernatural tale with rules reminiscent of childhood anime. It draws on elements of childhood memories while remaining unique for most readers, making it quite captivating. The horror elements are also just right. Personally, I thought the first arc was excellent; the rest depends on individual taste. I highly recommend checking out these books. You only know how good a book is after you've read it. Everyone has their own favorite books, but you won't know they're good until you've read them. If you have any good book recommendations, please share them so everyone can see!
