It's a slice-of-life story set in the city, but not a wish-fulfillment novel. It's actually quite infuriating, but very realistic. My parents are similar to the protagonist's parents, including the children they raised. The plot is infuriating, but thinking about it, if I were in their situation at that age, my problem-solving skills would probably be even worse.

1. *Why Do You Bring Everything Home?* This is a heartwarming slice-of-life novel with multiple female leads. The protagonist, after being reborn, embarks on a journey of redemption and companionship with several girls of vastly different personalities. Without a system or superpowers, it relies purely on character interactions and delicate emotions to move the reader. The writing style is light, healing, and sweet without being cloying. 2. *Making Money, Not Romance: I'm the Best Professional Simp!* This is a campus romance novel where the protagonist, Lu Xing, pretends to be a devoted simp to make money, while actually being clear-headed and focused on his career. There's no system throughout; he uses realistic methods to navigate relationships with multiple school beauties. The plot twists and reversals are both realistic and stress-relieving, perfectly meeting the demands of a "realistic and satisfying" story. 3. *After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Treasure Girl* This is the daily story of a male protagonist hurt by his ex-girlfriend who encounters a healing girl. With multiple female leads but no love triangles, it delicately depicts the process of mutual redemption between urban men and women. The physical book's title, *Silent Love in the Rain*, also reflects its realistic style. 4. *The Wanderer* This book tells the story of an ordinary person who rises again from the depths of despair. The protagonist, Lin Yifei, transforms from a timid and submissive individual into someone who lives authentically, staging a remarkable comeback on the realistic stage of the entertainment industry. Without superpowers or system cheats, relying entirely on his own growth and opportunities, it's perfect for readers who enjoy realistic rags-to-riches stories. The book's depiction of the entertainment industry's inner workings is sharp and realistic, with satisfyingly satisfying yet logically sound comebacks. 5. *A Realistic Teen's Tale of Youth* - This story tells of a withdrawn teenager who gradually learns to trust others and achieves self-redemption. The most touching aspect of this book is its realistic portrayal of the delicate emotional changes during adolescence, without exaggerated superpowers, only extraordinary growth and transformation in ordinary life. 6. *Reborn as a Super Tycoon* - Although a rebirth story, it completely abandons system settings, using real historical events as a backdrop to tell the story of an ordinary person's struggle to rise from nothing. Particularly noteworthy is the book's accurate recreation of the 1990s business environment, providing a solid sense of satisfaction from achieving success through genuine ability.

I highly recommend The Amnesia Sextet. If you want a really enjoyable read, check out Perfect Part-Time Job. If you're looking for a male-oriented rebirth novel written by a female author, read the second and fourth books. The inner thoughts and interactions of the male and female protagonists from the perspective of the opposite-sex author are actually quite interesting.
