    Both of these are survival game novels, and they're incredibly good. The first one, "Game Arrives," is amazing; if you persevere, the later levels are absolutely incredible, especially the dialogue between Zaijiu Xunge and Chaos in the block game: "You're right, defeating the weak only bores me; only the strong and desperate situations excite me. I refuse to be mediocre, I can't slow down, I'll stop at nothing, I enjoy this miserable state!" A golden, glowing butterfly flutters, her gun pointed directly at the dull-witted, like a judge, loudly proclaiming the sins of all beings: "Since you admit your arrogance!"; "I admit my arrogance." The later levels are really well-written. The second book, "Highway Survival," is about the female protagonist being reborn back to the game's beginning—I think it was a few minutes or seconds before? I don't remember exactly, but later in the story, the protagonist meets a group of like-minded people, making it an ensemble novel, which I found very enjoyable.
