1. 1 小 An Ordinary Man’s Extraordinary Life 小人物不一样的人生 Loves Tofu Skin Most最爱吃豆皮Urban1.8M WordsCompleted No System, no golden finger. This is a military novel grounded in reality. The heroine is only there for a little color, since a story without a heroine wouldn’t be politically acceptable. How else could the protagonist become a general? There are military exercises, earthquake relief, and new-recruit training. It portrays life in the armed forces from an officer’s perspective. This isn’t a lightweight novel, and it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. 16.7kReads8.9Score991Shelves

    The protagonist is an armed police officer, and the story mainly revolves around his training career. He has a system and a cheat-like ability (or "golden finger"). The system's presence is subtle, while the cheat-like ability is satisfying but doesn't overshadow the main plot. It's a very interesting story. There's no female lead, so there aren't any messy romantic entanglements. The protagonist and his squad leader have a very good relationship (pure camaraderie). The squad leader is like a god, somewhat like a benevolent mother figure in the military. It's already over 300 chapters, and even with his cheat-like abilities, the protagonist hasn't caught up with his squad leader yet [laughing emoji].

    All of them are pretty good. The first one is about daily life in the military, starting with the recruits being trained and later training others. The fourth one is about the daily life of new recruits, and the fifth one is about military academy life. The decapitation scene is also good. I think the first one is good.
