   The first book is highly recommended; it's about gradual development and getting stronger step by step. The second book features a protagonist who enters the game early due to a bug, but doesn't get killed and slowly develops, struggling to survive. The third book, despite its low rating, is very good, not mindless, and all the plot points are quite reasonable.

   For those who haven't read the first book, you're in luck! You can read a lot at once, and I'll be waiting for daily updates. I'd give it a 9.8. The second book is readable in the early stages, but the rating drops drastically later on, so this score is about right. The third book, judging solely on the plot, is probably around an 8.7; Nostalgia is what gets it over 9. The last three are good reads, and I'd give them around 9 points each.

    The first book is suitable for readers who enjoy strategy and survival games. It's a female-oriented book with an ensemble cast, a large world-building aspect, and a good plot. The second book is about island survival; the male protagonist has good luck. The third book is about snow mountain survival; the male protagonist is relatively weak at the beginning but develops through pets and cultivation. The fourth book is suitable for readers who enjoy slow-paced survival games; it's about farming and forest survival, and I personally like this one the most. The fifth book is about forest survival; it involves building houses, raising pets, and there seems to be a boss-fighting element. The sixth book features a protagonist who can summon elemental pets. It gets a bit magical later on, but I found it just okay. The seventh book is for those interested in simulation games and post-apocalyptic settings; it tells the story of the protagonist's adventure with a frog in a post-apocalyptic world. The eighth book is a light and casual survival game.

    Reader note

    Both books are good, both focusing on survival in a log cabin. The first book primarily focuses on dungeon exploration, with the protagonist being more of a lone wolf (though there are times of cooperation, it's mostly the protagonist developing alone). Each dungeon is very interesting (there are many dungeons, so the protagonist spends most of his time in dungeons). The second book focuses on monster hunting and upgrading the shelter, with the protagonist working in a team (the protagonist is more combat-oriented). The protagonist's shelter becomes a flesh and blood shelter after upgrading (everything inside the shelter is made of flesh and blood). Note: Both books have male protagonists (except for the second book, which has a female member in the protagonist's group). The first book has a faster pace, but because a large portion describes dungeon content, it might feel slower to some readers. It also involves gods and other worlds, and the protagonist is somewhat invincible, developing much faster than others. The second book is slower-paced compared to the first. The protagonist isn't invincible, but due to his talent and the shelter, he is quite powerful in combat.
