The first one is a Tomb Raider fanfiction about an evil emperor reborn to fulfill his dream, with a little bit of mythological setting added; the second one is an original Tomb Raider novel with a male protagonist, where he rebuilds the Zhang family to resist the supernatural apocalypse based on a system, interspersed with the struggle to save the original Tomb Raider Zhang family, so Xiao Ge finally has a home, fulfilling the dreams of some Xiao Ge fans; the third one is a story of a male protagonist transmigrating into a cat and awakening a system against the backdrop of the restoration of spiritual energy, with a rather long growth period; the next three are BL novels, if you like that kind of thing, just buy them, I won't introduce them; the seventh one is also a Tomb Raider background novel, if I give the first two five stars, I'll give this one a 4.5, the setting is quite novel; the eighth one is a Narcissus novel with one body and two souls, everyone is a villain, super hot and super fierce, highly recommended! The ninth one is a horror novel, I finished reading it too long ago and forgot about it, but it's definitely worth it since it's in my recommended category; the tenth one is a female protagonist transmigrating into a system harem court and country novel; I'm tired, I don't want to type anymore, that's all.
