    Highly recommend the first one—a masterpiece (no one said it was bad after reading it!). The second one is a completely shocking story of the female protagonist climbing the social ladder step by step; the writing is superb. The third one is a masterpiece of bittersweet romance; it's controversial and has many flaws, but the writing is just too good—it's so moving. The BG (boy-girl) aspect is amazing. The fourth one is, in my opinion, the best BL (boy-girl) novel. The fifth, sixth, and tenth ones are some of my favorite historical romance novels (not long). The seventh, eighth, and ninth ones are complete ensemble pieces; I think everyone knows these—they're so popular… They're incredibly good. The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth ones are so sweet! These are some of my favorite sweet BG novels. The fourth and sixth ones are angst-filled novels; these are two of my favorites. The seventh one is highly recommended; I think it's the pinnacle of the "all-around charming" type…

    Reader note

    These few books, which I would call "Climbing High Branches," are incredibly good. The themes are excellent, offering a perspective on life from the common people's point of view. The second book is also very good; it's a comic strip analysis of finding the murderer, a kind of ensemble piece. I absolutely love the third book; it has almost no romance, more of a confrontational story. However, the author wrote a sequel with a romance element. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh books are also very good, especially the fifth, where the male lead's guiding lover is personified, teaching the female lead to love herself first. The eighth is a modern campus romance between two academic geniuses—a beautiful love story for science students.
