   The first book is very realistic; ordinary people transmigrate without any cheat codes, relying solely on their intelligence. The villains are all highly intelligent, cunning, and shrewd, and despite an initial disastrous start, they repeatedly turn the tide through their wits. The second book is a lighthearted slice-of-life story; the protagonist doesn't act arrogantly, and there are no clichéd plots—just a relaxed lifestyle.

   The first book is amazing. It's very logical and you can even learn something about business. Overall, it's fantastic; I'd give it at least a 9.6. The second book, *The God of Drama*, I think it's beyond web novels; it's a classic. I don't understand why it's only 9.9, not 10. The third book, *Dali*, I've been reading for six years. I think it's quite good, especially the later parts. Because it's Qingfeng's second book, the early parts aren't as impressive. The later parts are basically among the best in Tomato's writing. Before *The God of Drama*, it was the book I thought was the best.
