    Two books I highly recommend. The first is a post-apocalyptic military novel. The protagonist is a formally employed soldier, initially a mechanized infantryman and later a special forces soldier. The writing is incredibly hardcore, vividly portraying the brutal atmosphere of war. Although the rating isn't high, it's definitely worth staying up all night to read. The second book focuses on the hardcore individual combat, with detailed and prominent special operations and action/gunfight scenes. A heads-up: it features a system, but its presence is extremely subtle. [Evil laugh][Salute][Evil laugh][Salute][Evil laugh][Salute][Evil laugh][Salute][Evil laugh][Evil laugh]

    The first book is a time-travel novel with a system. The second book also has a system.

There's a female lead in the story, who is also a very successful businesswoman. He loses his memory while saving Earth and starts from scratch. However, he ultimately chooses to attend the University of Science and Technology of China. The third book is also a time-travel novel with a system. The last book is also a time-travel novel with a system. He gets into a car accident right after his time travel and saves a child in the car, earning a first-class merit. Later, his military rank rises very high, but his identity is very special, similar to an undercover agent—top secret. Unfortunately, he doesn't have an official partner.
