    1. No romance. Although not a genius in every element, the female lead is incredibly strong. She's initially a wood-type character, later switching to a life-type, and can absorb the life force of plants to grow stronger. I think she might later have the ability to absorb human life. It features a small group dynamic, and the interactions between the team are very heartwarming; it's almost unsettling. It's currently being serialized. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, but the final boss is completely outmatched by the protagonist. If you can't accept that, you might want to skip it. There are some angst-filled moments, an academy, and a tournament (I just wanted to share this, but choose carefully before reading, as the boss is too strong and might make it less enjoyable). 2. The protagonist has a system that allows him to collect Versailles points to improve his abilities. The initial power-ups are incredibly satisfying. I haven't finished reading it yet. There's a tournament, which many people recommend; check out their recommendations. I'm too lazy to type more.

    The first book tells the story of a protagonist who rises from humble beginnings to become a killing machine, truly ruthless towards his enemies. The emotional arc, culminating in the poignant line "Hello, friend," is incredibly moving. Both nationalistic ideals and themes of friendship are portrayed perfectly, and the phrase "Eternal Empire" evoked countless tears. The second book is a slow-burn, hard-working story. The protagonist transmigrates to a game world, initially abandoned by the system and left with only his inventory and skill attributes. He carves his way through this new world, initially a magical waste, but later becoming a master of all magic.

    I want to clarify that both books are exceptionally well-written, definitely not written by a primary school student. The first book—don't be put off by its title; its content will absolutely refresh you. While it's genuinely funny, its depiction of emotions is incredibly delicate. Every scene in the early chapters is foreshadowing, and it's an ensemble piece where everyone is a wonderful person with their own pursuits and ideals. Trust me, you'll definitely want to keep reading. It's packed with rich content. Although it doesn't involve a national competition, every experience is a heartwarming and inspiring tale of everyone giving their all. The second book is also an ensemble piece. The female lead is incredibly intelligent and brave—truly brilliant, shrewd, and calculating. The atmosphere among the characters is exceptionally positive; they never abandon each other in times of difficulty, always striving to protect everyone. Its worldview is vast, its meaning is expansive, and it includes a national competition as well as many other experiences. I really enjoy these kinds of intelligent novels; they definitely don't treat us like fools.
