    These are all novels by authors with wildly imaginative minds. My personal recommendation is ⑤, "Another World with Superpowers: Your Imagination Makes It Real," which is very pretentious, but very entertaining, similar to "Mr. 39," Satisfying my inner chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) fan. ① Is an audiobook; the story and the imaginative plot are good. Each escape story is similar to others, even without reading the content, but I really like it. It's a novel from Feilu, and you can also listen to it on Xima. ② And ③ are by the same author, serialized works, with very intense imaginative scenarios; they're good. …I've forgotten the rest.
