    The first book, a Western fantasy, features a non-human protagonist (a skeleton) who is reincarnated into another world. At the beginning, he's burned to death by a dragon and reborn as a skeleton, given a destiny (similar to the naming of the Storm Dragon at the beginning of *That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime*). He ultimately becomes a savior through learning magic, without any cheat codes or systems. The second book's highlight is the protagonist's reincarnation as a dragon, but one abandoned by his race due to weakness. Despite his weakness, his high racial stats allow him to quickly develop in the other world, soon acquiring a loli daughter—a farming/lord-like story. The last book, which I wrote myself, features a protagonist reincarnated as a slime (imitating *That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime*). Having watched countless anime, including many isekai (another world) series, you'll see many classic scenes. The highlights are the protagonist's witty remarks and understanding of the isekai system, but the plot is rather uneventful, suitable for killing time when you're looking for something to read.

    The protagonist is quite relatable, lacking the ambition to dominate the world and possessing a strong will to survive.
