I think the best one is book 3.4.5.7. The first one has the heroine dressed as Gojo Satoru's sister. I haven't finished it yet, but it should be free. The second one is Natsu Youjie's sister, CP Gojo Satoru. The third one is Fumino. The CP is undecided. Currently there are Ranpo, Dazai, Atsushi, and they are suspected to be Russians. She is quite good-looking. Her personality is a bit similar to Ranpo. The fourth one is all, very similar. Anyway, Gojo Satoru, Glass, and Natsuyou all like her, and they have settled a lot of regrets, but it is really good-looking! The heroine used to be miserable, but then she met a good person and became a gentle person (who doesn't love a gentle sister [full]). The fifth book is a bit unclear, but it seems to be quite good. The sixth book is about Fumino. Kudo Mei from Ke Xue's world once traveled to Fumino, and not only shrank her body but also picked up Verlaine. The heroine has a hidden identity and a golden finger. I haven't finished reading it, but it's okay. The seventh book is really okay, CP Dazai, but the ending is quite regrettable. We finally got together, but one of us thought that the other person was with us for other purposes and didn't like us. The other one was a coward who was insecure and refused to tell his lover directly about his feelings. It was obvious that people around him were reminding the two of them, but why didn't they open their mouths! ! ! In the end, I can only regret that I missed it. I lost my memory and became a person in two worlds again. It is really regrettable [I almost cried] No sword, but the ending is a bit regretful. The two of them ended up having various lives, and Dazai also lived happily with his friends.

The first three books are all without CP. The first one is I think the number one novel among all Cursed Return fandoms. The writing style is very good, and he is good at storyboard description and using scenes as metaphors. The description of the battle rhythm and atmosphere is unparalleled among Juhui fans. It is said to be a comprehensive comic, but in fact it only describes Simmel's arrival in the Curse World, and his companions basically only appear in memories. Simmel's characterization is very successful. I have never seen "Fullian Buried" before, and I can feel Simmel's charm and the emotions between him and the brave team. The plot is reasonable and the analysis of combat power is well-founded and very convincing. Moreover, the visuals, storyboards, and rhythm are very strong. On top of this, the narration is a plus, which made me feel like I was watching an animation instead of a novel. This article is even very humorous. The author's writing style is very mature. He must have written long articles on other websites. I would like to know his pen name on other websites. I can't write one ten thousandth as good as this article, so I recommend everyone to read it. The second book is a very unique piece of writing that does not take the usual path. The complaints are spot on, not being led by the characters or the original author's values, and the writing is very real. The world of Curse is such a bad world. The third book is a breath of fresh air among many Curse fanatics who respect the strong and do not care about the lives of ordinary people even if they are magicians. The male protagonist is an ordinary person. Although he has a system, his early abilities are average and he only has one life. He did his best to help ordinary people and spread his experience so that more people could be saved. He is a person who is capable, responsible and able to resist, like a brave man who although his ability is not enough, still faces the evil dragon alone and does everything he can, like a child who grew up under the red flag, like a good child taught by Nanami and Gojo. The fourth book is the male protagonist of REO. If he came to the cursed world at the beginning, the CP is Maki. Readers who have not seen REO will not be affected by reading this article, because the male protagonist has not been to the REO world yet, so he came directly to curse the world back.
