   This one has to be it! I've read so many academic novels that end up with a female lead or a lot of romantic interests, so I always give up on them. But this one is still being serialized, the protagonist is not even middle school yet, and most importantly, there's no female lead, at least not yet. Plus, there's no system; it's all based on talent, which makes it quite enjoyable to read.

    Reader note

    The first two books are about high school students, and the third one is about elementary school students. It seems this one didn't participate in the competition, but became the mayor. (My reviews will praise the good parts and also mention the bad parts. If you're a fellow fan, please don't attack me. This is just my opinion, for reference only. Please don't scold me.) All are non-romanced. The first book I've read so far is quite good, but there are a few awkward parts in the middle, like the parts about Li Bai and Qin Shi Huang, which made me feel particularly awkward and almost made me give up. Overall, it's good, but unfortunately, the ending is terrible. I was reading it well, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, they were in college—a terrible ending. It's such a pity, this was actually a pretty good book for me, it's such a shame. I'm not sure if the second book will have a female lead later on, but it just felt a bit awkward in some places. Or rather, the logic wasn't very smooth, and some of the common-sense concepts had minor issues, making the pacing quite slow. The third book has a lot of jokes, similar to the second book, both are full of them. The main theme is patriotic, and it's quite readable. It's readable, but not particularly captivating. Only some parts are truly impactful. If you can accept the poor ending and a small section in the middle that makes you think the author was possessed by a ghost, you can check out the first book; overall it's quite good, it's just a shame about the ending. Then there are two parts in the middle that aren't very comfortable to read; the protagonist feels like a tool, or a puppet, unable to control their own body. When this book was being updated, I basically urged for updates every day and checked back and forth. The author's ideas and concepts are very good, yes. It's just a pity that writing so many words didn't earn much money, forcing a bad ending. It really made me feel bad; this is one of my favorite stories. As for the second book, if you can accept some of Jiahao's characteristics, you can check it out. Some of his logic isn't very coherent. For example, if you're a researcher, you definitely need to be rigorous, but there are parts that aren't rigorous enough. Also, things were leaked, and those who leaked the information weren't executed. That shocked me a bit; some of his logic wasn't very comfortable to read. The third book has a bit of a mature feel to it. Since the protagonist is a transmigrator, an adult in his own right, transmigrating into a child's body naturally brings his own personality, making him seem very mature, not like an innocent child. However, the "red" (positive/positive) element is very obvious. It uses some internet jokes and answers. Basically, all the answers are very positive and uplifting, which gave me a pretty good impression. All three books are written by real authors, so they don't have that artificial, AI-generated feel. If you're interested, you can check them out.
