    I recommend a slice-of-life novel set in high school. It's not about school beauties, systems, or wish-fulfillment stories; the plot is humorous, the writing is heartwarming, and it's definitely worth reading. The protagonist is extraordinary yet highly self-disciplined, striving for success and a life of triumph. It's not exaggerated or unrealistic; it's a relatable coming-of-age story that will bring back many memories. It seems ordinary, but it's a masterpiece that you'll want to read again and again.

    It has some courtyard house story background, but it's not part of the main plot. The logic is sound and the values ​​are positive.

    This is a historical romance novel about a male protagonist who transmigrates and uses a system to raise children. He doesn't go to the countryside. It's about everyday family life, with no truly awful characters, because he's the eldest son in the family. The system for raising younger siblings, nephews, and nieces is essentially a child-rearing system.
