   The first one is a fake people-pleaser who's actually a vengeful type, so he's often misunderstood and misinterpreted. The second one has many plot points, but the ending is a bit rushed; the protagonist's personality is quite interesting. The third one has a lot of over-interpretations from netizens, which is quite Dihua-esque. The fourth one is a natural disaster. The fifth one is a poorly acted character; in reality, it's all accidental for the protagonist, plus a system cheat.

    Both are pure wish-fulfillment novels, but the difference is that the second one gets increasingly intense towards the end. Even if you're an audiobook reader, I wouldn't recommend reading it while eating. In terms of character development, the first one is better; the protagonist is helpful and hardworking (though forced to be so). The second one is more controversial. It's fine for pure wish-fulfillment, but if you're particular about details, you might not be able to handle it (the later protagonist becomes lazy, greedy, lecherous, and obese, constantly picking his toes and nose while eating pork knuckle, and his subordinates are similarly unreliable; although he was initially set as a farmer, his character is poorly developed. In contrast, a later character, the Human Emperor, who is also a farmer, is much better portrayed).
