   All of these are dual male protagonist stories (except the last one). The first one, don't be fooled by the title, it's very good. The protagonist is sickly and has a system that allows him to control his illness. It's very tragic and very satisfying. The ending is happy. The second one, the male protagonist is tormented by illness, and there's a bit of a "wife-chasing-back-to-the-wife" situation at the end. The illness is well-written; I haven't finished it yet, so I don't know the ending. The third one, the protagonist has a system to control his illness, but later he becomes genuinely sick and weak, and is the darling of the group. It's a very good, slice-of-life story about a sickly protagonist, and the author is still updating it. Worth following.

    It's a good story; the protagonist is transported to different worlds by a system, and in each world he's very weak, making him incredibly pitiful [almost crying emoji]. Some of the worlds are quite unique, with very interesting plot settings. I highly recommend the later worlds! [Heart emoji][heart emoji][heart emoji]

    It's really super good! The protagonist is in so much pain he needs painkillers. There's a system and a forum. The content is very heartwarming, featuring a sickly yet gentle male lead. I really enjoyed the interactions between the protagonist and his friends. The perspective can be a bit chaotic, but it doesn't detract too much from the experience. There are some side stories about the male lead (they're a bit angsty). The system is very kind to him, and he's quite strong. The content is slice-of-life.

    These three books! The first one's title is pretty self-explanatory, right? The second one's protagonist gets cancer, then lets go, reconciles with his childhood friend, gains two good brothers, and accidentally discovers his true identity. The ending is somewhat open-ended, but I really hope the protagonist survives. Everything else is great, except it makes you want to cry a little. The third one's protagonist is paralyzed for unknown reasons (I know why, because I finished reading it, but I won't say). Everyone is wary of him, afraid he might destroy the world if he's unhappy. Even his childhood friend reconnects with him because of this, but in the end, he saves the world. Of course, the epilogue has a happy ending. I highly recommend reading it.
