    The first book is about a five-person team, and I personally think it's absolutely fantastic!!! The second book's author likes Wei San, and apparently couldn't read his works, so he wrote his own; it's really good!!! The third book is one I recently discovered. The synopsis is incredibly captivating, although it's a bit short, but the content is still quite good!!!

    ① *Interstellar: Who Did Those Five Beat Up Again?* A five-person team with no romantic pairings. From the brute force soldier who believes "a few more hits will do" to the foodie logistics guy who buys his life with Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, every character is vivid and interesting. The most touching line is the team's declaration, "With flesh and blood, we will rebuild the dawn," a mix of silliness and passion. ② *I'm a Mischief Master [Military Academy]* Xie Beiyin is practically the interstellar version of Wei Xiaobao, turning the "Worst Student of the Year Award" into a badge of honor. Watch him dance wildly under the instructor's death stare—perfect for relaxing and laughing out loud. ③ *F-Rank? Useless? Sorry, She's All-Round* When F-rank slacker Ning Jin pulls out *F-Rank Can Also Live a Wonderful Life* at the league event, the entire StarNet audience collectively loses their composure. This satisfying feeling of playing dumb to outsmart others, combined with the five-person team's daily antics, is a perfect electronic snack. ④ *Starting with a Kitchen Knife, Overturning the Entire Interstellar Space*: The famous scene of Luo Jiu, a martial arts master, wielding a kitchen knife to storm the interstellar league is comparable to Zhao Yun's seven charges in and out of battle. The most enjoyable part is watching her recruit a rabbit-eared girl as her follower; the contrast between violent aesthetics and cuteness is perfect. ⑤ *Crossdressing as a Boy to Return to Military Academy: Forced to Study Again*: When the reborn commander Yan Qi used top-tier tactics to crush her classmates, her line "Today you all ignore me" was absolutely brilliant. The romance is like strawberry-flavored popping candy—sweet but not cloying. ⑥ *Interstellar Rebirth: It's My Fault for Watching the Show*: Sheng Chaojian's plot of tricking the top students of five schools in the simulation pod joint exam perfectly replicates the essence of the protagonist group's mischief in *Smash the Pot*. The insane "one in ten thousand survives" competition system is hilarious. ⑦ *Starting with an S-Rank Evaluation, You Call This a Vase?*: Luo Cun's tactic of wiping out the opponents with a six-person team is comparable to an interstellar version of Zhuge Liang's repeating crossbow. The most brilliant line she uttered after becoming governor was, "Let's set a small goal first," which was the epitome of Versailles.
