    I've recently picked out some light novels that are good for your mind. If you don't like light novels, you can turn left and go read this. Remember to clear your head before reading, since books that require careful reading are usually next door. If you read a lot, you might need to have some tolerance for toxicity. These are the kinds of books I think are good for relaxing your mind and killing time. For me, they have fewer depressing or toxic parts, since I have a pretty good tolerance for toxicity.

    Reader note

    The first two books are undoubtedly of high quality. The third is a post-apocalyptic story with a clown protagonist, exploring the predetermined fate and nihilistic answers. It tells the story of a lie called Cheng Shi. The fourth book is relatively new; it's an urban martial arts novel with a single female lead and a system, though its presence is weak and negligible. One thing I dislike is the ensemble cast and frequent shifts in perspective, which is somewhat jarring, but overall it's alright. The fifth and sixth books are both completed urban martial arts novels, with single female leads and two strong protagonists who are quite prominent. They are not wish-fulfillment stories and don't feature invincible characters.
