   Please, please read these two books!!!!! They're so good. If you don't like otome games, check out the second one.

   Highly recommended! First, *King of the Azure Mist* – it gets increasingly exciting as you progress, full of strategic battles and investments. The protagonist's motto is "Follow your heart and protect those who are important to you." Second, *Legendary Lover King* – the survival system and player-centric gameplay are high-brow and don't limit players to traditional game mechanics. The protagonist, the legendary lover king, has a compassionate view of humanity. Enough said, praise the White King, the immortal White King! Third, *My Earth, My Protection* – primarily focuses on increasing strength across countless worlds. It's all about exhilarating gameplay, and the storylines in other worlds are excellent. Fourth, also a survival novel, but this time about developing civilization. The protagonist is also a human leader. Enough said, long live the Singularity Alliance!

    It's been a while since I recommended any books, so here are three I'm currently reading. The first is a war novel set in a time of conflict, not a fantastical drama, but one that offers immersive resonance and isn't a typical wish-fulfillment novel. The second is a science and engineering novel about striving and struggling, also characterized by its immersive resonance and lack of wish-fulfillment elements.
