   These are two books I highly recommend. The second one features a system several times, but it doesn't follow the normal path of having a system and becoming invincible, or the protagonist not knowing their own strength and trying to survive. It's very insightful and you won't regret reading it (don't read the side stories). I haven't finished the first one yet, but so far it's quite well-written, with rich and varied content. Enough said, it's incredibly moving; even as a grown man, I couldn't help but cry!
