    This is a true ensemble piece, isn't it? Ten time travelers arrive in ancient times, connected through a system forum, trusting each other along the way. The author even wrote an "if" scenario where no forum exists, and everyone suffers misfortune; thankfully, the main story doesn't head towards the worst ending. Everyone is a protagonist, the protagonist of their own life. There's the simple-minded but elderly storyteller #1, the unlucky gacha-obsessed #2, our best #3 and #4 (the "lonely" characters), the fun-loving #5, the charismatic #6, the unfortunate #7, the adorable #8, the well-behaved #9, and the eccentric college student #10. Seeing the ending, all I can say is thank goodness, thank goodness they were there. This book didn't have such a terrible ending; otherwise, it would have been a classic case of "fellow countrymen meeting, stabbing each other in the back."

    I've recommended almost all the ensemble dramas I've read, but these two might be a bit niche, though they're quite good. The first one is about a "murder, arson, body disposal, and evidence erasure" team. I've read half of it and it's very good. It's also about game invasion, and the four characters are definitely oddballs in a crowd. The writing style has a "Northeastern humor." The four are often targeted by the game because they're so eccentric, creating a noisy and chaotic ensemble cast. It also touches on the life-or-death struggles of other races, using humor to convey a subtle sadness. The second one isn't finished, but I've read over 600 chapters. It's also about game invasion and survival on a train. They're transported to different star systems by train to survive. It's a ensemble drama centered around four girls in a dormitory who meet friends of different ages. Each of them has their strengths and complements the others, making for a very well-rounded team. Everyone, regardless of gender, has their shining moments. There's no deliberate gender antagonism; it's very heartwarming. (I hope the author finishes it soon; I'm running out of novels to read!)

    I highly recommend the first two books. The score for the first book isn't a reliable indicator, but it's very good. The first book is about four girls venturing into the infinite flow genre; the plot is very tight and relatable. The second book is *Awakening Emperor*. Yes, both are very good. For infinite flow, aim for the first four; for fantasy, aim for the first, second, third, and fifth—everyone is good. The sixth is Western fantasy.

    These are all incredibly good! I just finished the first book and cried buckets, so I'm recommending it. I think the second book was a bit weak in terms of writing style, but it was still quite good on Tomato Book. The third book has a lot of plot points, which some people might not like, but all three are absolutely fantastic. Enough said, just check out the summaries and reviews!

    The first book, "The Crow is God," is one I read a long time ago and have forgotten some details, but I vaguely remember it being very good. The second book is one I've been following recently; it's also very good and I've already finished it. The protagonist is Crow Su, a true gentleman who observes the game silently. Everyone is trying to save Crow, who believes his death is the best option. However, for others, as long as Crow lives, that's enough. Don't worry about the serialization; it should be finished by summer vacation. It should be the last dungeon now. It's a shonen manga, and anyone who can't avoid this theme should check it out; it's really good. The third book also features Crow Su, and he's incredibly cute. How can one live without showing off? The author is slowly changing; he no longer keeps everything bottled up like before. Now he proactively admits things, and he'll tell them that his abilities require certain sacrifices. The latest chapter is about him losing one of his five senses—hearing—but don't worry, it will recover. It's also very good. The fourth book is authoritative and needs no further explanation; those who know, know. The fifth book is icy, but also very good, and should be nearing its end. I'm currently waiting for the part where Si Ye dies. These books are indescribably authoritative, you know? Those who have read them will understand. May the world no longer need saviors. These saviors are all like this; they infuriate me. They're just trying to make me cry (not really).

    1. A modern-day ensemble cast with superpowers. The protagonist seems like an ordinary person, but he's actually quite capable. The system is largely useless, mainly serving as a channel for understanding "reality." Everything else is just the protagonist's own awesomeness. 2. The protagonist uses his brain in the early stages, and later his intellect and strength come together. There are many foreshadowing elements, so you need to be a little smart, otherwise it can be a bit hard to follow at times. (PS: The author seems to be promoting a romantic pairing, but it's definitely not a romantic story.) 3. A modern-day transmigration to a cultivation world (reincarnation). The sect atmosphere is great, and there are no humiliating or face-slapping scenes like in other novels (well... Maybe there are, but they're about admitting mistakes and working hard). It feels like this is what real cultivation is like. A protagonist who grows through growth. (I read this on another account because I didn't have much time.) 4. Werewolf game, no system or cheating, but logical (it really is logical; the first two rounds, although they involve elimination, still have logic). There's an original board, and the players on the leaderboard each have their strengths. They are both rivals and partners. Although you don't know who's who during the game, you can guess based on their strategies.
