I watched the manga first, and there's a connection between the two books. "Lost Train" is also very good. Uh... I'm at a loss for words. Anyway, it's incredibly good.

These are all super good, and here's a concise recommendation after I've finished reading them: 1. A coming-of-age story; 2, 3, 4, and 11 are the same type, rebellious and rule-breaking; 5. A story that popularizes legal knowledge, choosing between humor and seriousness; 6. A humorous mystery; 7. I can't quite remember, but it's a brainless, enjoyable story; 8. A story focused on intelligence-based mystery; 9. A story with normal cheat codes and brainy mystery; 11, 13, and 14 are mainly stories about past lives being relived, but the reasoning is extremely brain-intensive; 12. An official satirical story about understanding the rules and becoming the chosen one who stumps the rules. All of these are very good.

    All of them are great! ① There are some unresolved issues, the protagonist's talent is rebellion. ② This one needs no introduction, right? Many people have probably read it. ③ This one allows you to specify another ghost story to have 100% affinity. ④ The country is super awesome, the hints are very timely. ⑤ How to say this one? Anyway, I think it's quite good. ⑥ The protagonist is a girl and very beautiful. ⑦ This book has a similar cover to the first one, but the protagonist's skill is to see hidden rules. The most memorable one is "If someone does many good deeds, but in the end they do one bad deed, is he a good person?" I really love this ghost story world. I won't introduce the others, everyone can watch them for themselves.

    The protagonists in books 1 and 4 are truly invincible. After reading book 2, your stomach will hurt from laughing so much—whose explosive is a nuclear bomb?! After reading book 3, I'm already dead from laughing. These books are hilarious. If these aren't good, I'm going to die. [Doge emoji]

    I don't really know how to describe this thing, but it's quite interesting. It's different from typical supernatural tales; it's rather abstract.

    The first book features Li Xiao as the protagonist; his smile can mean the difference between life and death. The second book features Yan He, which I absolutely love. The third book features Chi Luo, a tale of supernatural rules and national destiny. The fourth book features Lin Xiaomeng, who has powerful backing in the ghost realm. The fifth book features Yue Qingge, a crazy woman who also does live streaming. My personal favorites are books 1, 2, and 5.

    Completed, enjoyable and not mindless, will be updated later. Just recording some of my favorite novels. First, a quick transmigration novel, the female lead is Chang'an. The system is rich but its main function is to be cute and help the protagonist transmigrate. She starts as an insignificant cannon fodder character in various worlds, but she doesn't act as a tool, a background character, or steal opportunities. She's self-reliant, independent, and courageous, living her life as the protagonist in each world—a story of triumph and healing. The author's writing is good; it's not a simplistic story. The transitions are a bit abrupt, so listeners should be aware. Second, an infinite flow novel, farming, the female lead is Xia Wulei, lighthearted, no romance, enjoyable.
