   Okay, I followed this book from the first 50 chapters to the end, and now I'm going to write a review! There might be some unintentional comparisons and the wording might be a bit sharp, but these are all my most honest opinions. To be honest, I've only finished reading very few "popular characters" on Tomato Bookstore, and I haven't written reviews for many either. This is one of the few I've continued reading even after deleting my old account. I personally love the "popular character" genre, and while I've read many on Tomato Bookstore, I only really like one or two. Many "popular character" protagonists do have beautiful appearances and admirable qualities and personalities, but I always felt they lacked something. Until I read this one, the protagonist's strength, decisiveness, and personal charm made me realize that he deserves to be loved by so many people; he truly deserves the title of "popular character." It's not that other "popular character" stories are bad; the authors work very hard, but many on Tomato Bookstore only praise the protagonist's beautiful appearance, which makes me feel sorry for him. It's as if his beauty is his only value; he seems like a commodity being fought over by everyone, waiting to be sold, without anyone even asking if he's willing. Because he's a "popular character," he's loved by everyone else in the book. What Xiao Bai showed me was that he deserves to be loved by everyone. Although his past experiences led to some differences in his understanding compared to ordinary people, he possessed a divine favor towards humanity intertwined with a human curiosity about all things, sometimes tinged with a touch of mischievousness and vengefulness. He doesn't need to be perfect, but he is definitely the most stunning character in the entire book, hence his universal appeal. The causal order of the two is different, and I personally prefer the latter. The author also never hesitates to highlight other minor characters; the supporting characters are well-developed and vivid, and the plot perfectly hit all my sweet spots. In short, I really enjoyed it. Although I had an account before, I only read books and never recommended any; this is the first book I've ever recommended! Author, why did you have to finish it? Oh well, ending at the climax of the plot is also a kind of fulfillment! Anyway, congratulations on the completion, and I look forward to your other books.

Also, that Korean drama actor of Chinese descent isn't the male lead, just a supporting character with a lot of screen time! As for romance, the female lead will have many, many relationships because she wants to write a romance film, and it has to have that feeling of love. Her first love is something she starts because she's immersed in the role, and then they break up peacefully afterward, giving off a slightly bittersweet feeling of first love. Both of her personas come to life, and the Sherlock Holmes protagonist dying is absolutely satisfying!

   This is the only book of its kind on Tomato that features a female protagonist reincarnated as a noblewoman in Japan. The protagonist dislikes certain aspects of Japan and strongly desires to return home. She has a strong sense of patriotism and awakens a patriotic system. Although the system is somewhat flawed, it's still useful. The chapter I've read so far shows her mother, who, not wanting to be offered up to those old generals, runs away to China to exchange food for the protagonist's freedom. There, she begins an anti-Japanese national salvation movement.

    Sharing some books I've read. The first one has a female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of an empress; she starts off with a physical reversal of fortune, dies, and restarts. The male leads are all very virtuous. The second one is also by the same author, and it's already completed. Both the male and female leads are eccentric, and the writing is very insightful, but it's not popular—it's niche but definitely captivating. The third one is a mystery novel, which is why fewer people read it. Every short story is excellent, but saying more would be a spoiler!

    🔥The combination of sci-fi post-apocalyptic and urban superpowers is absolutely amazing! The opening is a bombshell, with the male protagonist being judged and accused of killing two thousand people. It's plot-driven, features a small ensemble cast, and the story unfolds in a series of interconnected events, making it particularly unconventional!
