    The first book was a practice piece I found elsewhere. It's a well-written infinite flow novel with solid basic skills, not the invincible kind we usually see like the ones by Tomato. This one has enough plot twists and makes you feel the tension and excitement of Jiuwei's life race. Having read a lot, I'd give it a "divine" rating. The protagonist isn't a saint, there's no female lead, and there aren't any particularly bizarre elements. It's just a genuinely well-written novel that I haven't seen in a long time. I remember one that was good, but it's gone now. I wonder if anyone remembers it: Lin Xie, Pipi Xie, and the Stuttering Police Officer (what a pity). The second book, the protagonist is also a villain. I thought it was okay, but I didn't read much of it.

    When I watched Snailfish, my first very good impression of it was that its content was very substantial and its pacing was tight. It's so drawn out that several chapters haven't even finished writing a single event. The second book is the kind that covers the same content in a few dozen chapters, whereas other books might cover hundreds of chapters. Don't be fooled by the title into thinking he's the type to have ambiguous relationships with all sorts of people. In reality, he writes almost entirely about his career, and the female lead doesn't even have an official love interest by the end of the main story. The third book has a more expansive worldview, and the female lead is a very traditional, strong female protagonist. She won't appear to be a leading lady on the surface, but in reality, she'll do this or that. His content is a development process from Earth to interstellar space, a process of gradually building up his own power. In the end, the female protagonist's story can be described as a legend. Moreover, although the female lead is a character who grows up, it only refers to her growth in strength; her intelligence has always been very high. The fourth book features two male protagonists, and you can ship them as a couple, but it's the kind of bizarre and weird story. He's a bit crazy. Moreover, his perspective is stronger from the first-person point of view. A completely first-person perspective is stronger. He gradually discovered his own strength, and eventually the entire world order was affected by him. It's also the kind of intelligence-based approach. It includes a battle of wits. I've forgotten a bit of the plot of the fifth book; it's suspenseful and mind-bending. However, the more relaxed kind often has a God's-eye view. You can experience the thrill of wearing the main character's outfit. The protagonist is very powerful. It seems there's no romantic pairing. It's beautiful.

    **A Dog's Guide to Life:** "What you perceive as kindness might be another form of cruelty." Grey is a stray dog with a missing left ear, struggling to survive amidst stinking garbage cans and indifferent street corners. Hunger teaches it that living is the only way to resist being forgotten by the world. Until that winter evening, it meets a little girl in a red cotton-padded jacket—she holds half a piece of candy in her palm, her eyes shining like crystal toys in a shop window. Grey wags its tail and approaches, obsequiously revealing its scarred belly. But the next second, ice shards pierce its wound, the girl's laughter is crisp as a bell, and the laser pointer in her hand makes a blinding red dot jump and burn on its eyeballs… **"A Dog's Guide to Life" exposes the most innocent cruelty of humanity from the perspective of a stray dog.** When gentleness is merely bait, when pain becomes entertainment, Grey's survival lesson has only just begun. "What we bestow—is it love, or the satisfaction of our own rights?"
