   These two books are perfect except for being new! [Cool][Cool][Cool] The first one starts with the protagonist already having extensive connections, powerful backers, and top-notch professional skills. There's a segment involving inter-school competitions, with geniuses everywhere, and the protagonist is the genius among geniuses. The plot is quite novel; it was a bit confusing at the beginning, but it got much better later. [Laugh][Laugh] The second one features a protagonist who's relaxed and focuses on taming beasts. One is a turtle that dreams of becoming the Xuanwu Emperor, and the other is a fox whose master is always right. Unlike others, the protagonist's beasts have their own thoughts. Combined with a cheat-like advantage and the protagonist's intelligence, it's a very enjoyable read! [Laugh]

    I've never read anything better than this! It's the book that got me hooked on beast-taming novels! [Licking screen] (The female lead's father is a real jerk, but he's pretty much forgotten after chapter 300, so if you're sensitive to that, avoid it.) I'll also add another book I recently discovered, which is also incredibly good! And it's quite long (although I've already caught up with it [facepalm]). Personally, I didn't like it as much as the first one, and the beginning was a bit boring, but the later parts are just so amazing, with the cheat abilities getting bigger and bigger and more satisfying. The pacing is also excellent, and the world-building and system are novel. If you're looking for a really exciting read, this is the one!

    I've found that books rated 8.9 Are generally considered masterpieces, while those above 9.0 Are often overrated. This book, for example, is ruined by its title and cover. It's the most diligently written book I've ever read; it addresses reader feedback directly and has significant room for improvement. Instead of the conventional "seeing the evolutionary path" approach, it focuses on simulation and finding its own path. The plot is well-developed, and the writing is above average. A good book indeed.
