    Each book is a carefully selected selection, and I've actually finished reading them all. However, several of them were read before, and I don't know why the ratings are so low. The first one is purely from the "going" series. The female lead isn't the kind with exceptional power, but she's good at scheming and willing to put in effort for others. 2, 14, And 15 are all pretty bad endings, but 2 is slightly better; it seems to have a happy ending. All of these books have very good storylines. 3. A "rich girl" novel—very satisfying. The female lead doesn't have the typical rich girl's temper, but her family is incredibly wealthy, giving her a lot of influence. It's mainly set in a school, fulfilling my fantasies about rich girls in school. 4. This one has a "parents make money while I relax" plot (which is actually quite impressive). It's very well written. Although there's a male lead, he's not described much; their relationship only develops later in the story. It's also the only historical romance novel that made me cry over the love story (because the romance is so minimal, it's understandable why I cried). 5.6 Suspense novel, very well written, no need for further comment, you'll understand once you read it. 7. Historical fiction, but a very novel theme, focusing on everyday family life while striving for a better life. The younger brother is great. 8. After the destruction of a planet, he comes to Earth to hide his identity and uses his wisdom to solve a mystery about the continuation of civilization. 9. A light and healing zombie novel. 10. Quick transmigration, good to read. 11. Supernatural power novel, I don't know why it has a low score. The pacing is fast, and the ending is a little rushed, but it's not bad. It just feels unfinished but abruptly ends. 12. Forgot what to write, but it should be good. 13. Harem novel, if you like stories with true love, read this one.

    Trust me, once you start reading, you won't be able to stop. That's me. I watched the first five books every day for updates [laughs]. There's an unconventional rebirth story, an unconventional identity reveal, an interstellar mermaid princess, a patriotic academic genius, and an incredibly satisfying story. The last one is a bombshell in the transmigration genre!!! Super good!!!

    These are the only two I can actually read right now… Since they're on Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform), forget about anything too profound or scheming; I don't have the writing skills for that. I just read light novels, and writing light novels that are engaging and don't draw you out takes skill. These are the only two that really suit my taste so far.
