    Speaking of decadent romance, these two "campus" novels are a must-mention. The first one has some explicit content. Firstly, the protagonist isn't a typical heartthrob; he gradually wins over his three roommates, and none of them seem to lose their minds. However, if you prefer fast-paced, action-packed stories, this one might be a bit unrealistic, as the protagonist is currently in a passive position. The second one is more enjoyable. The protagonist is an ambitious and hardworking academic genius who knows he can't change his situation through hard work alone. Therefore, he uses his good looks to his advantage. He doesn't seem to lose his mind; it's more of a "dog-training" story.

    ●I'm currently reading the first one. The protagonist is truly master-level, as you can tell from the synopsis. The writing is good, not bad at all. Highly recommended. ●The second one is also amazing. The human nature is very well portrayed. It uses the common Mary Sue genre to depict an indomitable soul. ●Books 3-6 are about quick transmigration and becoming a heartthrob. The third book is about the first world-class wealthy family, a dog-training novel, very good.
