    The first book I recently read, a special forces novel, was pretty good. It's a fast-paced, enjoyable read, but not mindlessly so. The protagonist stands out; he's not the kind who's unparalleled in everything. There's no system, and it's still being serialized, but the author updates consistently. The last book, "Special Missions," was also good, though a bit angsty, so maybe not very satisfying? I finished the others a while ago, so I don't remember them all, but they were probably okay too. There was another book with a similar title to the third one, I think it was something like "Getting into the Top Military Academy"? I actually quite liked that one, though there's a female lead later on, but she has very little screen time. You could check it out if you're interested. I personally don't like stories with romantic pairings, so I haven't read any. (Also, I don't know much about the military, and I'm not a military enthusiast; I just read a few novels of this genre, so I don't know if the author's writing is accurate.)
