   Highly recommended. The first book features Cen Yan with strong self-destructive tendencies, but she can't die because she's begged to save the world. The main characters around her become mentally unstable because they feel guilty towards Cen Yan and are extremely attached to her; it's a story with multiple identities. The second book is a true classic, so beautiful, perfectly matching my fantasies: a sickly beauty with an invincible power-up that others don't know about. It's been a while since I finished reading it, so I've forgotten a bit. Read it yourself! 😋 Absolutely delicious!

Basically, he's self-loathing, but everyone he serves likes him. Even when seriously injured, he still protects others. ④ The protagonist is seriously injured but still endures it, hides his injuries, protects others, and is then forced to rest (after saving people). ⑤ After dealing with his own affairs, the protagonist is exhausted but still rushes back to save others.

    Here are three more I'm recommending, ones I've been following recently. They're all those cannon fodder villain comics where the protagonist saves the day. The first one has some battle damage, and I got a bit tired of it later on, but the beginning was pretty good. The second one is fantastic, highly recommended. It's also about a beautiful, strong, and tragic protagonist who doesn't get injured too often, but his friends get really worried every time he does, which really resonated with me. In the third one, the protagonist is physically weak due to the readers' imaginations, and he coughs up blood, faints, and is in pain every time he uses a skill—that also really touched me. Plus, none of the three have any romantic pairings, so you can ship them however you like, and all three are the most fun, haha!

    The first one is "Zero Brother." Don't be fooled by the title; it sounds like a wish-fulfillment story, but there's a ton of battle casualties—basically the entire book. You'll see when you read it. The second one, I'm not sure if it counts, features a player as the protagonist. Initially, he seems unaware of the damage Kryptonite inflicts on Superman, resulting in significant battle casualties. The protagonist also exhibits a pseudo-human quality, and this sense of greatness is palpable to the other characters. There's also a psychological journey involved. The third one is also very good, but it also involves a lot of battle casualties. The protagonist is strong, but the opponents are strong too. There's not much to avoid if you're worried about it; in short, you'll see when you read it. 👁️

    The first book, although tagged as having two male leads, so far only the male lead is truly outstanding. It features frequent battle injuries and physical abuse; the author points out the potential pitfalls at the beginning. The second book's protagonist always risks his life to save others, and he's almost always battle-damaged in the later stages. It's very engaging and enjoyable, with no romantic pairing. The third book's protagonist is injured while saving his father, leaving him physically weak, and later develops PTSD. It's very engaging, featuring a prince training his dog. The fourth book, completed, is also very good and worth buying. The fifth book features a protagonist who is constantly injured, claiming to prioritize self-interest but is actually soft-hearted. He becomes the darling of the righteous faction later on, but remains physically weak. The sixth book's protagonist has a mental illness; I remember a PTSD flare-up in the middle. The last book, my absolute favorite, is very good. While there might be some awkward moments in the beginning, it gets increasingly better and better later on, resolving many issues. The author's themes are also very insightful.

    Super good! The first one, "Baby, You're Just a Sweet and Soft Little Cake," is so good! XX The protagonist, seemingly simple-minded, sacrifices a lot to save people; it's truly remarkable and really good, I don't know why so few people read it. The second one, "Baby, You're Really Tragic," is a redemption story about a pitiful baby who is slowly healed by love. The third one, "39," needs no introduction regarding its authority. The fourth one, "Anonymous," requires some imagination; it's about someone who travels around with their true identity and gets misunderstood.
