    Reader note

    You can read these books; they're all silent once you start reading. If you don't like them, you can call the author. Most of the serialized books by these authors update two chapters daily and are mostly without female leads (lucky you if you like novels without female leads, no offense intended, just personal preference, no discrimination against women). The protagonists are all highly intelligent, not just relying on a system, and they treat everyone equally. They're not mindless. Some have lower ratings because they're serialized.
