    Reader note

    The first book is a lawyer novel; there's absolutely no romantic ambiguity from beginning to end. The author's basic skills and professional knowledge are very solid, and I feel it's top-tier among similar novels. The second book is a system-based criminal novel. The male protagonist gains a system after his college entrance exams, allowing him to catch criminals and wanted criminals in everything he does. His cheat ability is quite significant, but the author fixed some plot holes—the male protagonist's parents are like that. Although it's a criminal novel, it's light and funny to read. I've read over 300 chapters and haven't finished it yet. The third book is about a crime system in the entertainment industry, where the protagonist specializes in playing villains; it's good. The fourth book is about Hong Kong in the past. The male protagonist is a time traveler with a significant cheat ability, and his career develops rapidly. However, the themes of national sentiment and everyday life are well-written, making it very warm and touching. The interactions between the male protagonist and his younger brother are excellent, and the family relationships are well-developed. However, it's also possible to have a light romance; if you mind this, please don't read it. Personally, I quite like all four of these books. None of them have a romantic pairing.

He killed the female lead as soon as he arrived, and was hunted by the Heavenly Dao in return. To stand against the Heavenly 2.7kReads7.4Score131Shelves

    No romantic pairing, no ambiguity. The protagonist is a photographer dreaming of making horror films. He's so obsessed with it that he loses consciousness, but a glance at the camera brings him back. Making horror films is a recurring theme throughout the story, and the horror scenes are well-written (some parts were definitely scary). There are also occasional witty remarks that are quite humorous, not just relying on tired tropes. The author likes to run two or more timelines simultaneously, and there's a significant amount of stream-of-consciousness writing later on, which some readers might find unappealing, but I personally found it quite enjoyable.
