   I think these three books are pretty good. The first one is a (infinite flow) novel with two incredibly powerful male leads, both with consistently high intelligence! There's no question of one relying on the other; you should check it out! The second one is a comedy. Although funny, it's also heartbreaking. The female lead was plotted against from a young age by many who wanted to kill her because she was a young god ruling them. They wanted to eliminate her and seal her with a dragon's bone. At that time, she was just a child, innocent and naive about the world. But she definitely wouldn't let them have their way! I recommend you give it a try! The third one is a (metaphysical comedy). Don't be misled by the title; there's no romantic pairing. There is an original female lead, but the main character becomes best friends with her. In the end, the main character sacrifices herself for the greater good, but her consciousness remains. It's quite good; I recommend you give it a try!
