    Both of these books feature protagonists who aren't brainless; they're quite intelligent. The first one is a new book, and if you're looking for something to read and like the second one, you might want to check it out. The premise is relatively fresh; the male lead follows a sacrificial path, starting with an altar. However, the early game is quite survival-oriented because the system's main functions are helping with building repairs and displaying status. Therefore, in the early stages, other characters can't even manage themselves, let alone trade. However, the novel's depiction of ancient gods is excellent, unlike those that only describe octopus tentacles. This novel also covers a wide range of genres; you can even see a cultivation world. Let's see how the author develops it later. (Note: The author's writing is good, but he's a newcomer. If you like it, read it to the end; don't wait for others to finish it. He also really enjoys receiving comments and replies to almost all of them.)

    Both are about lone wolf heroines, without a romantic partner or teammates, only small animals by their side. There's no need to worry about scheming or intrigue; they level up gradually, the plot is reasonable, and they don't start out as the strongest, but they become the strongest eventually. These two books have a touch of Western fantasy, with some scenes as beautiful as fairy tales. These are the only two I found of this type; I can't find any substitutes. If anyone can find any, please recommend them.
