    The first book is about Fang Yuan using the Spring and Autumn Cicada to be reborn 500 years in the past and obtain the Blood Sea inheritance. The second book is a simulator novel, which is the best simulator novel I've read. The third book is about a bizarre resurgence, where the protagonist has the ability to communicate with the past. He can notify those in the past in advance and prevent them from going to certain places, thus changing his future. The fourth book is about a strange cultivation, which is really good. It's also a simulator novel. The fourth book is about mortal crystals made from mortals who cultivate in this world. These people are either insane or have a distorted worldview. Their cultivation method is to eat people when they reach a bottleneck in their cultivation and plant them in trees. What they need are cultivators. The fifth book is really good. Just look at the synopsis. It's about a concept god. He uses his ability to make every three-pointer very well in the early stages. Later, before he dies, he discovers a zombie virus outbreak, constantly simulating and ultimately saving the world. The zombie virus was also released by a level 2 civilization. All of them are high quality. Book #7 is highly recommended. It's a set of supernatural tales based on childhood cartoons, and it's still ongoing. It'll probably be finished someday when the author runs out of inspiration. The rules aren't mindless, and the protagonist is intelligent too. Book #8 is also highly recommended. The protagonist of the greatest swordsman in history is all about survival. He always pulls others out of danger; he doesn't need to outrun the monsters, he just needs to outrun his teammates. He's incredibly shameless. Book #9 is also highly recommended. It's about Ricky obtaining an invincible domain and eventually becoming the strongest. This one is quite good; I really enjoyed it. I haven't read much of Book #10, but I think it's alright.
