I highly recommend 1, 2, 4, and 8 (I'd cry if anyone on Tomato Books hadn't read 4 and 8). I've actually forgotten about 3, 5, and 6...

   The first one is incredibly enjoyable and suitable for readers with diverse tastes; the plot is logical and doesn't feel forced or illogical. The second and third are time-travel comics, very well written. The fourth one needs no introduction—a masterpiece among masterpieces. The protagonist hasn't read the original work and relies entirely on his intellect; there are still side stories being released. The fifth one features a strong, beautiful, and tragic protagonist. The sixth one is a male-oriented novel, but female readers can also enjoy it; there are no lewd jokes or vulgar scenes, and the male lead has an exceptionally sharp mind throughout—a rare gem of a story.

    The first book is more of a wish-fulfillment novel, with humor, a touch of the bizarre world of cultivation, and elements of power and influence. I personally quite liked it; it was enjoyable. The second book features a protagonist who runs a fish shop, is prone to crying, and is easy to empathize with. The protagonist's character is quite interesting. The third book involves global travel and using pre-existing wealth to accomplish various feats, making him somewhat of a genius.
