    The cherry blossoms of late spring always wither at the next intersection, like those unopened letters hidden in the lining of schoolbags, quietly yellowing in the cracks of desks. You may not know that on a certain noisy afternoon, the ink from the fountain pen you lent me still grows into unfinished verses on the back of my draft paper. The ginkgo bookmark you wore on your school uniform collar during morning reading, the steam rising from the shared mug in winter, the drifting clouds outside the library's floor-to-ceiling windows—these scattered starlight, falling into my eyes, become the courage to look at the entire universe. In fact, every evening I brushed past you, I was practicing turning my heartbeat to silent mode. At this moment, the evening breeze in the library is lifting the curtains, like the strands of hair that flutter when you turn around. Please forgive me for never being able to become a butterfly that catches your eye for a fleeting moment; I can only be a wisteria petal that gently trembles as you pass by. As you journey towards a brighter future, remember that in some unsigned coordinate, a spring is forever reserved for you. If one day you hear the melody of "I'm Not a Drama God" on a street corner, please slow your pace. That figure hurrying past with old textbooks is folding the winds of your twenties into origami cranes and sending them to the stardust-filled Milky Way. May you always have wings to break through the clouds, and I will, on every clear morning after the rainy season, dry those expectations bleached by moonlight.

    I recommend everyone to read these books. The first one is a cultivation novel with a very strong female protagonist and an excellent learning ability. She is always engaged in intense competition. The author writes a lot of articles, and each chapter is very rich and not boring at all. The second book is also incredibly good! The female lead is a character who grows stronger; she's already very powerful even before she's an adult, which was so satisfying to read! The author's imagination is also amazing (highly recommended!!!). The third book is also fantastic. The male lead is dead, but he transmigrates into someone else's body. What's more, he usually doesn't have a heartbeat and can detach his head and body parts. He's also incredibly intelligent in the game, not relying on the male lead's power, but on his own strength. The fourth book is also a very impressive novel. Although the male lead has a slightly naive and sweet personality, he's incredibly charming, making my heart flutter. But for some reason, the author stopped updating. Sigh [crying][crying] The fifth book is a transmigration novel with a growth theme. The female lead has an incredibly sharp tongue; if someone bullies her, she'll fight back or slap them. It's a truly satisfying read, and the female lead is quite strong.

She's afraid of and hates the male protagonist, unaware that he's teaching her to grow, not just to run away.

    Help! This premise is absolutely outrageous! Judging from these reviews, "Big Brother is Dead, I Have to Be a Superman..." Is indeed an unconventional story. Early on, it features controversial plot points like "gaining superpowers but not wanting to reveal them, so he goes to a slaughterhouse to kill cows." Some find it cheesy, others find it entertaining; the plot seems quite unconventional. The setting where the invitation is randomly selected by the world's will to choose talented individuals also breaks the usual formula. Listen to me! This book is a potential gem in the unconventional genre—a sure-fire investment! If you enjoy novels that spark heated discussions, have unique settings, and are imaginative despite their flaws, you should definitely check it out. Similar stories include "Strange Invasion, My Body Is a Little Off," where the protagonist experiences various unexpected physical changes in a strange world, and his actions are unpredictable. Like this one, it's full of unconventional plot twists; you might like it.
