   OK, those who don't understand these books are in luck. I'm not saying they survive entirely on popularity, but some skills are acquired through popularity. To be honest, I think these books are among the best I've read in this genre. If you like this type of story, you can't miss these. (Personally, I like number 3 the most; I think it's incredibly popular.)

    All of them are great! The third one is especially amazing! The first one is finished, with a happy ending. The protagonist is beautiful, strong, and tragic (I guess?). Although I admit I'm being dirty-minded, the battle damage is incredible! And how come our Shizhang's damn luck isn't tragic? The second one is also very good, okay? Enough said, please just read the synopsis. It includes Dihua (?), Beautiful, strong, and tragic elements. Okay, next up is my favorite novel, practically a masterpiece. Do you want to see beautiful, strong, tragic, Dihua, loving, mutually invading, battle damage, group favorite, ensemble cast, mutual redemption, and no romance? Don't worry, it has it all, it includes it all. Does the author see their own face when looking in the mirror? Gods have no form! Although the author hasn't filled in the plot holes yet and we don't know how tragic Ya Ya was in the past, how come the battle damage isn't tragic now? Our Ya Ya's credit points aren't even enough to scan a shared bike, and the captain's power was stripped away like that (not really). Yan Qi, just keep being cute and charming everyone! The remaining three books are also very good. Here's a summary of the main characters' personalities: The fourth book's protagonist is also aiming to charm everyone. His cold demeanor is incredibly cute... Well, a heartwarming redemption story. It still includes some battle-damaged moments, and Bai Gu is practically a relationship between love and friendship. Who could understand Bai Gu's transformation later on? It was like he was saying, "Gu is mine! Xie Jin, don't even think about taking him away!" During the later part where Gu Ge faked his death, Bai Gu went from a sunny, cheerful blond guy to a handsome, gloomy ghost! In short, this book is also very good. The main characters should stay together forever! The last chapter directly attacked my soul. Gu Ge is the protagonist of this world because... It's a world with them. The fifth book, 999, I absolutely love your sandwich personality! Hot and cold, invincible! And 999 is so smart! Who would enjoy using their brain by doing math problems?! Lu Jiuxiao is a character with a touch of adolescent angst, appearing outwardly tolerant but actually possessing a deep-seated inability to truly understand his inner world. Interestingly, he experiences a complete mental breakdown when faced with matters of the heart—yes, a complete breakdown! For instance, he's already begun to accept the other members of the main group without realizing it. When he realizes his interactions with others are off, he freezes up, contemplating their relationships. This is when his true personality is revealed: Lu Jiuxiao is not as gentle as he seems; he has a sharp, controlling nature. He's also a coward, fearing that others' feelings for him are insincere. Therefore, as mentioned above, few can truly enter his heart. However, as everyone understands: those who are favored are fearless, and the favored coward becomes brave. When you yourself realize that someone will stand firmly behind you, you must understand: you are favored! Xiao Jiu and our Xiao Lu also use the phrase "I just don't want to die yet" to package themselves as wanting to save the world. Of course, the main characters weren't like this at the beginning, but that was only in the early stages. After the river race, they started laying the foundation for their later friendship! The sixth book, the protagonist is very smart, and the friendship between teenagers is the most awesome! Happy wrap-up, Anlu!

    The first book: The protagonist transmigrates and needs to gain popularity points to revive his past self. The protagonist is relatively weak in the early stages but becomes powerful in the middle. The second book: I like the characters' personalities. They are loyal and righteous. It's like a motherly version of the protagonist. The third book: The protagonist pretends to be strong in the early stages, but is actually terrified. He becomes genuinely powerful later. There isn't much interaction between the two male leads; it's mainly about the plot. But it's very enjoyable to watch. In summary, all are very good. The first two books have no romantic pairing. The last book has two male leads.

    The protagonist is an ordinary person pretending to be a hidden big shot who hasn't been found by the authorities. His whereabouts are exposed by a protective talisman he gave to his brother (which was triggered), and he begins to appear as a big shot in the open as the top beta tester. He grows very quickly, doesn't have his identity exposed, and is treated kindly by the authorities. From the perspective of the comic readers and the authorities, the protagonist is a beautiful, strong, and tragic figure. From the perspective of others: a ghost big shot who has hidden his identity for two years, walked out of that "final" alone, and could have lived a carefree life, extends a helping hand to everyone when the world is in danger.

    All three are super good! (๑• . •๑) The first one, Wu Jin, has many aliases (note: the aliases are separate and can be customized). Wu Jin is someone who enjoys tragic stories and is also a beautiful, strong, and tragic character. The second one, Mu Mu, is an ensemble piece with everyone being intelligent and generally quite good. The third one, Si Ye (also known as Si Xiao Ye), originally wanted to be a secret code teller but ended up becoming a secret code solver. He's incredibly powerful, and the game is a gacha-style Netherworld series that connects to the underworld. His interactions with his companions (well... Tian Shu is also a companion in a sense) are also very heartwarming. In short, all three are super good and will make you want to get hooked, so please be prepared! ♡₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡

    The first book features a typical "beautiful, strong, and tragic" protagonist. I read it a long time ago and have forgotten the details. His ability is related to luck. The second book is new, but its premise really resonates with me. The third book needs no introduction; the charm of the minor character is irresistible, the protagonist is incredibly handsome, and his abilities are super strong. Each book has interspersed comments. I highly recommend the third book. The second book needs some time to read; it's only at chapter 40.
