1. 1 岩 The Geo Archon Still Has to Work Hard to Retire in Another World 岩王帝君在异世界也要努力退休 Mo Luoduoni莫洛多尼Two Male Leads620k WordsCompleted [Two male leads + quick transmigration + crossover + equally powerful leads] On the continent of Teyvat, there is a travelogue that has remained a bestseller for over a decade. It tells not of Teyvat, but of the Geo Archon, Morax, traveling through various times and spaces. No one can tell whether any of it is true. The “idle” Zhongli accepts a mission from the God of Time and Space. Thus begins his life as a (fake) big shot in other worlds, in the guise of the Geo Archon.

   The first book is about Zhongli traveling to various other worlds. This one has a romantic pairing, so those who like that can check it out [smirk]. I won't say much more, just go read it yourself. It might deviate a little from the original story later on, but I think it's pretty good (≧∇≦*). The second book is about traveling to the cultivation world. Zhongli is super cute \(//∇//)\, and you could say the character doesn't deviate from the original. I really love this one and highly recommend it. The third book is about traveling to the Starry Sky Railway. Personally, I think it's the one with the most consistent character design among the Starry Sky Railway novels I've read. The fourth book has a romantic pairing, and the title makes it quite obvious. You could say the character deviates a little from the original, but you can still check it out [winking face]. The fifth book is about Zhong Li's time travel to the workplace. It seemed like there was a romantic pairing at the beginning, but the author says there isn't later. Those who like this kind of thing can check it out; I personally think it's quite good ^ω^. This author's books really suit my taste. My first and second books were written by this author, and their writing style is excellent (≧∇≦*). I'm a big fan of this author! If you like my work, I hope you can rate these books. Don't be fooled by low ratings; the content is very good ^ω^. Thank you! [Heart emoji]

Not a traditional national-fate system story, but a crossover with Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact. (Parallel worlds, no Trailblazers or Travelers.) A light ensemble cast. Please forgive any OOC characterization. The characters aren’t simply good or evil. Later on, there will be a little viewing of the main world’s story. Jing Yuan and the Aeon of Preservation come from the main world. Comedy, though there might be some angst? Feel free to follow along. At the final moment 1.7kReads8.7Score192Shelves

    Reader note

    Why are most of the recommendations for characters with romantic pairings? This one, which has no romantic pairing, is already finished with a side story and a movie. The map isn't limited to Teyvat; the protagonist will also travel to the Honkai Impact 3rd world with Jingyuan. Because this is a story about national destiny, there are some other supporting characters, but they're all quite normal, without any mindless statements. The supporting characters have their own unique traits and their own moments of heartbreak. Fortunately, the ending is happy.

    Reader note

    Zhongli is the main character (first-person perspective). The first book updates two chapters daily, the second one one chapter every Sunday, and the others have irregular update times (these are my favorites). There's also a very good book, "Old Friend," but I won't recommend it. And I also won't recommend any other strange pairings. (´▽`)
