    All are non-romance (no romantic pairing) infinite flow novels. Synopsis: The first book is about the protagonist's past self paving the way for his future self; the protagonist is already quite strong and keeps leveling up. It's in the same series as the third book, and the author's other works with dual male leads are also very good. The third book features a handsome, money-loving, and exceptionally powerful protagonist, somewhat like a quick transmigration novel. The second book has a strong sense of patriotism; the protagonist seems unserious but is also a handsome and patriotic hero willing to sacrifice himself for his country and comrades.
