   It's definitely worth reading these two books. I've been reading them for more than ten years. In the first one, the heroine travels back in time, step by step, to regain the land occupied by the enemy and the people who were burned, killed, and looted. She attacks one city and saves another. The second one can be regarded as an infinite stream. The heroine travels to an NPC and the player cannot detect the identity of the NPC. The plot has ups and downs. The story is interesting but not the same. It can also be said to be a group portrait novel. The supporting characters in it are also different and have their own highlight moments.
