   I'm currently following the first one, and it's great. The relationship between the male lead and his brother is really sweet. On the surface, it's an older man/younger man relationship, but actually it's a younger man/younger man relationship... (Note that this is just my own preference). It's a bit scary, so only consider the protagonist's perspective. If you put yourself in the other player's perspective, you'll find the protagonist very cruel. The second one is also about good brothers. They have a talent bond from the start, which goes without saying. They often play together and are childhood friends who grew up together. The third one is great except for the first chapter! It's basically a chaotic mix of couples (I'm shipping them myself, please don't criticize). Note that they're foreigners. The protagonist and Klaus were really cute at the beginning... And they're still cute later on. I've always firmly loved this pair [laughs]. It's a no-couple pairing. The fourth book I'm shipping is quite unique. They're born as ghosts, and ghosts can't reproduce. Ghosts of the same kind are generally considered to be family. The protagonist and his brother are special; there are only the two of them. The protagonist is a white cloud and the brother is a dark cloud (I'm talking about their appearance and color; more details are in the text). The brother is incredibly cute, with a slightly withdrawn and naturally naive feel. The fifth book, "Little Fries Mom," is just too cute. The sixth book, when the protagonist is in Dihua, is also great to ship with the world's protagonist... Especially the desert part, he's practically a male mother... Anyway, I've shipped all three worlds [laughs]. The seventh book, about non-biological brothers who chose their own family, is also very good. The protagonist and his ghost brother are both very good...

    Ahhh, this is a really well-written book... The beginning has a stronger male-oriented feel, but as you read on, you'll find that everyone, male or female, turns into sheep (not really). In short, the further it goes, the more it feels like a female-oriented novel, the cuter and cuter the protagonist is... It feels like a crow that likes sparkly things (just money). It's a fast-paced, action-packed story! The protagonist's personality is also somewhat dog-like (note, I didn't mistype). The interactions between some characters are also particularly interesting! There are practically no men or women in this book, only gods (specifically referring to the Shadow faction).

    The first book, although not a male-oriented novel, is currently only halfway through its run and is very good. You can save it for later reading. The second book, *Ten Days to the End*, was incredibly popular before; I especially love Qiao Jiajin and his relationship with Chen Junnan is so sweet! [Heart emoji]

    Bound to a romance system, yet adventuring in a horror game, she and Lu have great chemistry, it's so sweet. While others are afraid to offend NPCs for fear of being chased by ghosts, the protagonist is just swatting away the ghosts and fleecing the horror game.

    The grassland part at the beginning wasn't particularly special, just a heartwarming slice-of-life story with little animals. But then the island part—oh my god, he's a total heartthrob! It perfectly matches the title: no female lead, the protagonist has strong morals, and the supporting characters aren't made stupid. It's completed, a funny and lighthearted slice-of-life story. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! ꒰づ≧ω≦ づ꒱~♡ This book is guaranteed to be great!

Other couples are also great, but I prefer Meng Ling, who is just there to ship without a main character. It's especially annoying that some people who like female leads always like to post in the comments. I really enjoy reading comments (it's fun to read the book while reading the comments), so I always see things like "xxx is the female lead" or "can xxx be the female lead?" It's really uncomfortable. I don't want to close the comments (I don't want to leave the comment section [crying]), so I'm at a loss [sad].
