   The first book I'm currently reading has an incredibly intelligent male lead. I plan to read the second one. The author of the third and fifth books is a veteran at creating ensemble pieces; every book they write becomes a hit. The fourth book, "Xi Kang," is super interesting; I admire the author's imagination. The sixth book might be a bit more conspiracy-themed and dark, but it's very good. The seventh book was my gateway book; after reading it, I realized how good ensemble pieces can be. I'm not familiar with the eighth book, but I picked it up because it was on my shelf; it's also an ensemble piece. The ninth and tenth books are guaranteed to be good, sweeter than any of the previous ones, and not at all angsty. The fourth and tenth books are romance novels with male leads, but they're really good. You have to read to the end of the tenth book; it's the best part.

    I really love this book! [Full of joy] The writing style is lighthearted, blending seriousness and humor. Our protagonist is so serious, but the other characters aren't, they seem to be on different levels, yet strangely integrated. [Facepalm] It's a slow burn, especially the first few chapters, but it gets better later on. The daily life is heartwarming, and everyone in the story is so kind, taking good care of their juniors. There aren't any mindless, blood-pumping plot points either. The writing style is gradually improving, the fight scenes are smooth, and it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. The cheat system isn't too overpowered; it doesn't really stand out at first. Chen Xia relies solely on his own strength, which seems useless at first, but then the plot twists, and the real system that appears swallows the original system [facepalm]. The main character, Chen Xia, is a genius and hardworking, with a high level of knowledge but also a bit naive. He has a good temper, is very upright, respects his teachers and elders, and is very serious about people. Even though he's just a child, he always acts like an adult, so cute [kiss]. The main group includes serious characters like Chen Xia, as well as some unserious and funny ones (especially when Chu Zhang appears) [laughing and crying]. Their personalities complement each other, but a few characters are a bit narcissistic, boasting endlessly, which is quite funny. Currently, there are about 60 chapters and 160,000 words, and not a single righteous character has died. There's no violence, and the story mentions that humans have a significant advantage among their peers. The author also guarantees a happy ending [smirk]. Besides the author's slow update speed, some of the battle descriptions feel like they're just there to highlight Chen Xia's resilience. He seems to take all the damage and fight without a care in the world, showing no fear of pain, which is heartbreaking to watch.

    The first one is really good – a story of a seemingly weak character pretending to be strong while actually being powerful. The clown's provocations are nonexistent; a powerful figure acts as his protector, and the protectors of others at his level are all one level higher than the powerful figure. The strength and background of his teammates are also undeniable. The protagonist is incredibly relaxed yet extremely reliable, with a remarkably high IQ. The fifth one is also good – a story of eerie resurgence. The protagonist hasn't awakened his powers yet, but after interacting with a ghost, the ghost gives him a potion, making him incredibly powerful. For example, there's a scene where the protagonist fights a ghost and uses a potion, causing a large area to burst into flames. Someone asked him how he did it, because the protagonist isn't strong enough to create such a large fire. He explained that he fought the ghost, and the more he fought, the more the fire burned, until it finally burst into flames. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

    The first book is a cultivation novel. The plot is completely original, and the author's writing is excellent. There are no cannon fodder characters in this book; everyone is a protagonist, a chosen one of heaven. It's incredibly good, with many highlights, including sect competitions, trials, and exciting action scenes. It's also my favorite cultivation novel. "Originally a wanderer with a solitary lamp, yet drawn to the mortal world by wine." "Why shouldn't a young man dream of plucking stars, daring to draw his bow and shoot the Jade Balance?" "You brat! The road ahead is long and dark, but don't be afraid. Only those who are fearless will find light ahead!" "Be bold with life, for have you not heard... There is always a way out!!" "The twelfth person without dust, Gu Shengming, is hereby remembered, the resurrection song of the raging fire! "Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen, how many more times will you die before you change this arrogant habit?" "Perhaps... I'll never change it in my lifetime." "After all..." "You are Gu Shengming... Cough... Cough! Cough cough!" He coughed up blood, smiled, raised his hand, grabbed a protruding rock, and used it as a foothold to crawl forward. "Since stepping onto the path of immortality… you've been infinitely glorious, overpowering countless geniuses, never experiencing setbacks." "You're a disciple of the Cloud Sword Sect, with a group of wonderful senior brothers and sisters, and a very doting… master. How could you not be arrogant?" "You're also a pampered, untainted person favored by the world, possessing opportunities that ordinary people can only dream of… how could you not be proud?" With the ground almost within reach, Gu Shengming gritted his teeth, struggling to climb upwards, his expression contorted with rage. "I… wield the power of cause and effect, I am the god who forged the Starry Sky, how could I… not be arrogant!" "Hehehehehehe!" "Want to bury my path to immortality? This isn't enough!" "My death will be like a star falling! A dazzling expanse of sky—thirty thousand miles!!!" "Go boldly forward, the last ancient god of this world, the first new god of this world... Akust." "Then I wish you, young friend, a smooth journey and a prosperous immortal path!" "When spring arrives in the city, we... Will meet again in the mortal realm!" "May you, fellow Daoist, ride the wind for thirty thousand miles and witness the myriad forms of heaven and earth!" "May you be safe and sound, and free from worry year after year." "When I return, let us drink and revel..." "May your immortal path be smooth and your fortune everlasting..." "May you, young friend, soar to the heavens and roam freely between heaven and earth." "Child, go forward, look ahead, and don't look back. Your path... Lies ahead." Fireworks rise, illuminating the mortal realm, year after year. —This grand plan, meticulously crafted by countless sages for billions of years, has finally taken its first step. From this moment on, the "History of the Great Dao" is complete. —I was born broken and destitute, but the world loved me and gave me new life, so I grew flesh and blood. The second book is a Western fantasy novel with many chosen ones. The main characters start with three, but the number will increase later. There are also many highlights in the plot. Don't just look at the title; it's my favorite Western fantasy novel. It also has academy competitions and such. The writing of these two authors is beyond question; just look at how long I've watched each one—over 10 hours. If the writing isn't good, I can't stand it. I'm also quite picky, so there won't be any cringe-worthy scenes. You can watch it with peace of mind. I actually watched the first one for 67 hours because I just caught up and haven't come back yet.

    This zombie novel has a strong sense of national righteousness and the ensemble cast is also very good. (PS: If you want to see a good ensemble cast, I recommend 7🐱's The First Pupil Master. It's a really good ensemble novel with an eight-person powerhouse team. The male lead is an extra, and there is a romantic pairing, but it's written just right.)
