The second book is a quick transmigration story; the protagonist learns skills, hoards resources, doesn't interfere with the main plot, has a strong female lead with clear and defined goals, and no fixed romantic pairing.

    The protagonist transmigrates into a book without disrupting the plot; in fact, it propels the story forward. He experiences the seven deadly sins in sequence, uncovering plot holes in the world. The male lead possesses the Tomie physique (those unfamiliar can look it up). It doesn't interfere with reading; the author will provide explanations.
