    They're all good, that's all that matters. The first one is an invincible protagonist with a relaxed pace. The second one, judging from the title, has a system similar to Lord of Mysteries, but it's quite interesting. The third one is well-written; just don't worry about the power system. If you're looking for a fast-paced, exciting read, all three are great. The first one is a casual read, good for casual reading. I'm currently following all three and have seen the latest chapters.
