    I think these three are pretty good 🎄◟(˶> ᎑ <˶)◞🎄 The first one is about a protagonist who transmigrates to a beast world. It's a 1v1 story with two strong protagonists (dark-skinned protagonist and fair-skinned seme). In the beginning, the protagonist is clueless and a total straight man, but it gets incredibly sweet later on. It's currently being serialized. The second one is a campus novel with no romance. The protagonist is very capable and controls the fate of his family (the other three members of the F3 are like lunatics, and there's also that guy surnamed Ji). It's currently being serialized. The third one is more like an urban CEO romance. According to the author's introduction, there seem to be more than ten seme. The protagonist is extremely straight 🔚 and doesn't understand any ambiguity or anything like that. He's incredibly straightforward. All three books are great, fellow book lovers should definitely give them a try. They're not mindless.

    These are some really good novels. The first three are modern-day action novels and dog-training stories, while the last one is a cultivation novel. The ratings are low because some of them are relatively new, but they're genuinely excellent. Highly recommended! [Kissing emoji]

    Reader note

    All three books are incredibly good, and they're all by the same author. The first book features a slightly older protagonist who's a typical office worker, yearning for a better life and adoring children (though none are his biological children). The children are also very kind, except for the third world where the protagonist... The second book is a time-travel cultivation novel. In the extra chapters, due to a family marriage and the marshal's conspiracy, the protagonist ends up with the marshal (I personally feel the protagonist is indifferent and wouldn't fall in love with anyone). The third book features a protagonist with extremely high combat power, whose most frequent line to the male leads is "I don't like men." I personally prefer the second story; the chapter where the protagonist is a prince is super good. All three protagonists are wonderful people.
