    The first book is an absolute gem; I haven't cried while reading a book in ages. The second one has a promising future, but whether it will actually have one is another matter; updating only one chapter every ten days or so is torture. The third one is a bit vulgar but entertaining, just my personal taste. The fourth one is a very old book; I used to love following its updates. The fifth one is a personal favorite—pure wish-fulfillment novel; the formula is all about showing off and getting slapped in the face, but it's quite modern and the setting is interesting. The sixth one is shockingly delicious; the demon king knocks the protagonist to the ground, drags him back to his room, and is about to humiliate him severely. If you can't accept the protagonist getting transgender and married, you should avoid this one.
