Tomato's popular masterpiece, a must-try! The plot is ridiculously tight, with famous scenes such as rescuing people from a fire and fighting to the death with a rock demon full of tension, and the demonized battle scenes are so intensely written that you can't stop at all. There are so many reversals that you can't guess. And super funny

"I am on an Earth ten thousand times larger, hunting alien gods" Systemless + high-level martial arts + social group portrait description, completely in line with your core requirements. Unique highlights: Under the hard-core setting where the volume of the earth has expanded ten thousand times, the epic sense of the fault line of human civilization and the rise of warriors. The protagonist's growth path from struggling to survive at the bottom to fighting powerful enemies in the stars is solid, and the description of the supporting characters' survival dilemma is particularly real and shocking. "Gaowu: My Life in a Different World" has no system + no heroine + portraits of the lower class of society. Unique temperament: It uses the setting of "corporate warrior society" to sharply show the cruelty of resource competition. In the process of the protagonist's counterattack as a time traveler from being in debt to working as a worker, each supporting character has a vivid logic of survival, and there is no facial expression of tool man at all. Both of these books avoid cheating on the system and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and pay special attention to the authenticity of the world view and the creation of supporting characters. You can choose according to your preference - the former focuses on the grand narrative of the survival of civilization, while the latter focuses more on the micro struggles of social classes.
