   These three books are really good. They are group favorites and everyone loves the protagonist. The first elective chapter has been completed, and the content after the group is updated. The stage description and character creation of this book are both very good. The author's writing is very good. I highly recommend it. Although the second book is about a woman wearing a man's clothes, when the protagonist is a girl, she has no concern for reality. I don't care much about gender (I don't know if I can say that), but it does not affect the viewing. I read the protagonist directly as a boy, and it does not affect the reading. Although the protagonist of the third book is a fun-loving person, he is also competitive and will do his best to complete the stage. He is not the kind of boss who participates in elective fish fry, but works hard to become stronger step by step. The words written by the author himself are also very touching [Send Hearts] The second and third books are relatively new, there are not many chapters, and the ratings have not been released yet, but babies who like to watch the men's team draft + non-CP group favorites can really read [Send Hearts] [Send Hearts] [Send Hearts] [Send Hearts] [Send Hearts]
