Then take a look at the book that my senior brother and I wrote. It has novel themes that are not divorced from reality.

These three books are my absolute favorites, and I've reread them countless times. The first one is about the second male lead rising to power; it's incredibly good, although the rating isn't quite nine, the author's writing is impeccable, absolutely brilliant. The second one has the female lead mistakenly believing she's transmigrated into a book, but she's actually the original owner of the body. The third one is about the male lead's unrequited love coming true; it's very good, and the author's writing is very delicate.

Ahem, this is the first fanfiction, but it's about high-level demonic cultivation. They really won't stop at nothing to cultivate! The third one is more suitable for reading slowly and calmly. Although it went a bit wrong later on, the beginning was still pretty good.

Judging from the ratings of the books I recommend, you can tell that these books are of decent quality. The eighth book has some flaws and a lot of unnecessary rambling. The first book follows the old formula, like "The Son-in-Law," and is about the underworld. The second book is quite interesting; I haven't finished it yet, but it's quite enjoyable to read, although the male lead is a succubus. The third book is okay in the beginning, but it gets a bit tedious and pointless later on. The fourth book has a very strong protagonist who is an excessively rich second-generation. The seventh book is also one of my favorites. China has a history of five thousand years, and there are many regrettable and infuriating things in the long river of history. In the book, the Ming Dynasty continued its reign, replacing the originally weak and incompetent Qing Dynasty, and gradually became a world power, much like the troublesome Britain in Europe. However, the Chinese people became the glorious golden race, enslaving foreign races, which is very appealing to many boys who like history. It rewrites the unbearable history of "satisfying culture," showing the ruthlessness of the royal family, the three virtues of glory, the iron-blooded Ming Dynasty, and everyone being a dragon, satisfying the infinite fantasy of history. The 20 books I recommended include Western fantasy, historical fiction, urban fiction, system fiction, villainous stories, supernatural fiction, isekai (otherworld) fiction, farming fiction, business fiction, superpower fiction, alternate history fiction, and romance fiction. These are books that I personally like and appreciate. My opinions might differ from those of many readers, but that's okay. You can find more good books on my homepage. I won't list the other books here, but I hope you'll approve! 😳😳😳😳
