   Reader note

   This is a male-oriented, urban fantasy novel with a wildly imaginative plot. It tells the story of a male college student who encounters a "King of Kept Women" system just before graduation, and how he becomes self-disciplined and falls in love along the way. Although the title is "King of Kept Women," the author's writing style is consistently positive and uplifting, with delicate prose that keeps you hooked. This is a book I've been following since I discovered it, and it's definitely a gem. The next book is also by the same author, and I must say, this author is incredibly talented. A veteran reader of over ten years, it's rare to find someone whose book I search for by author name.

    The first one needs no introduction, it's from the "Ten Days in the Middle" series. It's one of the top books, can you honestly say its imagination isn't wild? The second one is a must-read for fans of academic genius stories, highly recommended. It's long and very enjoyable to read. Especially for those who like to enjoy reading about academic geniuses while also shipping couples, Song He and Xiang Xiaotong are a perfect match. The third one is about a strange resurgence, where the protagonist obtains a card-drawing system that allows him to draw the abilities of celestial beings for his own use. The fourth one needs no introduction, its imagination is quite vast. Perhaps it's not as wild now, but back in 2021, this book was truly unique. The fifth one is exceptionally high-level, with many foreshadowing elements, and its world-building is incredibly vast. It's like the ninth realm, where the protagonist of "Covering the Sky" is from, is a very weak faction. The world-building is truly enormous, and crucially, there are tons of angst. There's a angst every 20 chapters; I cried on the 20th. The sixth one is right in front of you... The Prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, Pu, was appointed Minister of Finance and Minister of Rites. The Minister of Agriculture was Zhu Qiniu, also known as Zhu Bingwen. This book is incredibly imaginative; you'd never guess the protagonist would have so many identities, and there are more than just those mentioned earlier. While the protagonist appears to be a prince with a title, he isn't actually one. This is a contingency plan left to him by Crown Prince Zhu Biao to prevent him from becoming too powerful and attracting suspicion, ultimately leading to his execution by the Crown Prince. The seventh book... Wow, this book needs no introduction; it's one of the top books on Tomato (a popular Chinese web novel platform), with a particularly vast world-building. The eighth book's protagonist and his wife are popular starting from the Tang Dynasty—unexpected, right? The key is that it's practically a live-stream story; almost all monsters are defeated in one move.

And sure enough, on the subway, an older woman latched onto him. The woman said, “Young man, don’t you have any manners? Don’t you know you should give your seat to an old lady?” Gou Su was thoroughly annoyed. He’d been taught to respect the elderly and care for the young since childhood, but why did old people these days always throw their age around? Gou Su stood his ground. “You have manners?

    First, everyone's definition of "like" is different. I'm sharing my thoughts on the first book: It's not overly stimulating and is readable. It references many real-world cases and is quite interesting to read, good for passing the time. However, it's a new book, so it doesn't have a high rating. The second book... Well, there are many similar books on the platform, but the author writes well, it's not overly stimulating, and it's not boring. It always provides some useful knowledge. The third book's updates are inconsistent, so you can skip it. It's passable, but hopefully the author won't write anything too outrageous.

    The first is an urban entrepreneurship novel where the protagonist is reborn and stays at the university to start a business; there are no cheat codes. The second one doesn't involve rebirth but has cheat codes; it's also good, but the romance is weak, so you can skip it. The third one involves rebirth in another world with cheat codes; the movies chosen are decent, but the ending is terrible, hence the low rating. 🍉🍉🍉
