    The first one is, needless to say, an urban "feel-good" novel. The second one has a male lead who's like a dog—a high-IQ and goofy husky. The third one I'm reading recently has a male lead with very positive values, but he's too pitiful, and the story is a bit depressing. The fourth one seems to have stopped updating recently; the plot is okay, it's about a pitiful person who transmigrates to a parallel world and rewrites their life. The male lead is high-IQ, but he likes his homeroom teacher (who's beautiful) 😏😏😏. The male lead's superpower is a bit funny; in his words, "Other superpowers are about becoming strong, my superpower is about making me a top student." The plot is funny. I don't know much about the later ones; you can check them out yourself and tell me what you think after you finish. I haven't read this type of book in a long time, and this one is also good. It's by Tomato, but for some reason I can't add it to my bookshelf: "My Name is Shadow, Number One in the Sequence, Unnoticed." The male lead is high-IQ, and he and the female lead are in love but hide their identities from each other. The plot is a bit like "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
