   The first one updates slowly, but it's truly worth reading because it keeps you hooked despite the slow updates. The entire criminal investigation team is well-developed, with each member possessing distinct characteristics. The protagonist's overpowered abilities are perfectly timed, making everyone think their teammates are just unlucky and never doubting themselves 😂. The second one is still ongoing, with the author updating five chapters daily, a stable update schedule. It's a slice-of-life story set in a space setting. The protagonist is Lin Shiliu, and his brothers Lin Shi, Lin Shiyi, Lin Shisi, and Lin Shiwu are all vividly portrayed. The presence of his villainous sister, Lin Shisan, makes Lin Shiliu exceptionally composed. Although the protagonist is still in elementary school at over a thousand chapters, he's already created many interesting potions, some with wildly imaginative ideas, and many of his potions have unexpected side effects 🤭. The third one is already completed, and I'd say it's a masterpiece. It has a great ensemble cast, and the author's imagination is boundless. At first, I thought it was an overpowered ability, but the author later provided a different explanation. It's a great read, highly recommended, give it a try! 😄. None of these are romantic pairings.

    The first book features a younger sister as the main character, who is extremely abstract and a negative character. It's also somewhat harem-like. So far, two characters have appeared: a controlling yandere and a dependent landmine-like woman, though their true nature hasn't been revealed until the latest chapter. The second book is a decent read, suitable for veteran readers, as its values aren't really suitable for young adults. The author has ideas, but the writing is a bit immature and the overall feeling isn't fully conveyed.
