   This book features an even more decisive character than Yu Xunge, possessing perseverance, ruthlessness, and decisive action. The supporting characters are intelligent, aside from those from older novels who are connected to the original male and female leads. The narrative is logical; everything is mine, there's no romantic pairing, and the immersive experience is incredibly satisfying.

   Part 1, "Seeking Songs with Wine," is a smash hit, no need for further explanation. Part 2 features Ye Lingyue, a protagonist with a mysterious identity and bloodline ("ordinary" human/God of Blue Star + royal family of all races + creator god of Beili + extraterrestrial demon + royal family of Dixing). She's a lone wolf with no romantic partner, having reincarnated 99 times, operating two accounts simultaneously (all part of her own plan). Decisive and ruthless towards enemies, her revenge is fast-paced. Despite experiencing darkness, she maintains her conscience, neither a saintly figure nor an extreme world-destroying force, and doesn't blindly rely on cheat codes. Even after losing everything, Lingyue rises again through her own efforts (the author gave her a powerful core, not just "cheat codes"). The story also explores her family's emotional entanglements and allusions to the dark side of society. Many foreshadowing elements were planted early on, and all have been resolved. The logic is sound, and it's truly excellent! (｡>∀<｡) Personally, this is the best game invasion novel besides "Seeking Songs"! The world-building is really rich and complete 👍❤️ As long as the author keeps writing at this pace, this book will definitely be good. P3 Qi Xu group portrait novel. I haven't finished reading this one. The early part is okay, and the group portrait descriptions are vivid. In the later part, I personally feel that it's a bit chuunibyou (dialogue, skills, etc.). The character development is a bit slow to catch up, but it's still pretty good for a road trip novel. P4 I haven't finished reading it. There is a CP (I haven't seen the CP part yet). The profession + professional skill design is very novel. The female lead, Ling Chu, is decisive and smart (the gambling part was really cool). It's okay and quite good. P5 There is a CP. I haven't read a holographic game theme in a long time. I miss it a bit. It's not finished yet, so it's a bit not enough. The protagonist, Shi Xi, has cancer and no money for treatment. He chooses to go to a holographic game with currency exchange and draws the hidden profession of thief (this profession is very similar to Xun Ge. I was initially drawn to it because of this, but the world-building of this book is independent and has its own characteristics. Apart from the profession, there is almost no connection). The protagonist is very strong and smart (apprenticeship in the Light and Shadow Chess, investigation of the Pope's truth, Snow White dungeon). The reasoning in these plots is very good and the plot is logical. Regarding the pairing: The male lead is Lu, a cheeky, arrogant, sarcastic, and fun-loving guy. He's quite cute, but his lack of skill and love of fun deviates from the typical male lead trope. He and the female lead are a good match; currently, they're a bickering couple (like attracts like), but the female lead is stronger than the male lead! Shortcomings: The thief setting currently restricts the character to stealing only through physical contact, which is too limiting. There's no constant stealing (not really), and it feels like the profession isn't being fully utilized. Additional note: The author delves into the real world rather little; if you mind this, please don't read. Pages 6 and 7 are about people without a romantic pairing. I read the manga first (I haven't read much of the novel yet), and it's fantastic! The art style is great, and it's logically sound. The game-themed hide-and-seek is novel and interesting. The protagonist, Lin Sui'an, is a mental patient with psychic abilities. He's intelligent, bold, and a bit crazy in the early stages, with a strong sense of national duty and destiny (in the Song Jinshu section). It's considered one of the better female-oriented national destiny novels.

They were truly excellent, and they weren't just substitutes, they were the main courses. Among them, my absolute favorite was Xia Sanfu, the first book, which is truly authoritative.

    These are all books I've read and highly recommend. If you're smart, you can check out the second one; you'll find the author's logic is truly impressive, and the protagonist is incredibly intelligent—sometimes you can't keep up with her. The second book is about cultivation and has an ensemble cast, but the truth and salvation are all centered on the female lead; she's incredibly clever. The rest involve some political intrigue. The female lead in the first book has a very unconventional approach; her intelligence is worth appreciating. Later on, you'll find that every step she takes is quite unexpected and surprising. The third book is a very gentle book; you need to reflect on it to realize the female lead's intelligence—it's the kind that's hidden and doesn't show off. There's some palace intrigue, but not much (you can skip it if you don't like that). The fourth book is also about political intrigue, but it involves time travel and information asymmetry in business; the other characters are also very intelligent. The fifth book has some political intrigue at the beginning, but the later parts after the male lead makes up his mind are quite touching—maybe it's just that it resonates with me.

    The first book, "Seeking Songs with Wine," was absolutely amazing! It started slowly but got incredibly good. The premise might seem like a simple revenge story, but the later parts were phenomenal. I haven't read the second and third books yet, but I'm sure they'll be great too, trust me. I've finished the fourth, fifth, and sixth books. The fourth and fifth are definitely worth rereading. The sixth book got a bit boring towards the end, but the beginning was very fresh and original.

    Having read for over 3,000 hours, I found these books to be exceptionally good!! The first one is a rebirth story with a national destiny game setting. It's a high-quality story with a fast-paced plot. The female lead is single-mindedly focused on becoming stronger, and her intelligence is on point. She steals any skills or items she likes – super satisfying! "Your skill is fine, the next second it's mine!" Highly recommended!! The second one is a Western fantasy novel with an ensemble cast. The entire team consists of villains from the original work, but each has their own principles. A group of prickly members rely on and support each other, making for a heartwarming yet bittersweet read. Highly recommended!! The third one combines a supernatural tale of rules, a girl group, and a national destiny battlefield – a very novel theme, well-written, and the daily lives of the four members are hilarious. It's slightly scary, and the dungeons also have some satirical reflections of reality. Highly recommended!! The fourth one features an "ordinary person" with a system panel, a leveling-up story, but the female lead doesn't start as a loser. She always has a sharp edge, which shines gradually as she grows. Highly recommended!! The fifth book is a road trip survival + rebirth type, holding the top spot in the entire server. It's a satisfying read; the more you enjoy the cars, the more ruthless the creator becomes. Starting as a lone wolf, he gradually collaborates with others and eventually becomes the team leader. Highly recommended!! The sixth book features a system and a purely villainous character. A wicked woman gets everything! The female lead appears aloof and saintly, but in reality, she wants everything. She schemes and manipulates everything to push herself to the top, with her family also benefiting. She defeats various destined protagonists to grow stronger. A satisfying read, highly recommended!!

    It's great! Although it starts with the old-fashioned trope of a switched-birth daughter, the story doesn't limit itself to domestic power struggles. The female lead isn't confined to the pampered life of her family; she's clear-headed, and there's a rare storyline where she becomes the head of the family while simultaneously pursuing various careers outside. The author's writing style is also excellent.

    Speaking of good books by Yang Shizi, there are actually quite a few. The main characters—Yu Xun Ge, Xie Qingfeng, Jiang Xianyu, Lin Zhinian, Shen Yue, Xu Lingqu, Jiang Mianmian, Gu Miaoyin, Chen Baoxiang, Ye Changqing, Sheng An, Song Chuyu, Yu Wanyin, Song Wan, and Xu Yue—are all characters I particularly like. Each has their own unique personality, and everyone braves the storms of their own story. Their courage and decisiveness in the face of adversity are especially moving. Seriously, I've personally tested these books and they're all great. I consider myself a voracious reader, and none of these have any major flaws. They're all fantastic!
