    1. I'd seen this book many times before, but the cover always put me off. I only checked it out because I had nothing else to read. I realized I was being naive; it's a good book according to Tomato. The protagonist isn't brainless or a saint. He builds a faction, collects spirit stones to increase his strength. Worth reading. 2. Highly recommended by avid readers. The protagonist creates a civilization federation, first waging war between civilizations, then absorbing the defeated civilization. The weapons used between civilizations include gravity weapons, allowing attacks from light-years away. However, the energy consumed is the accumulated energy of an entire civilization over decades. Some of the data is quite realistic. Highly recommended by veteran readers.

    "Charming Jade Sword," written by Jiu Xiaoyue, is a time-travel/rebirth story with a yandere element. The male lead's madness is skillfully portrayed, while the female lead's clear-headedness is endearing. The writing is excellent and not padded. I'm currently hooked. Trust me, click in and read a couple of chapters. If you don't like it, come back and find me.
