   There's a tiny bit of multi-playthrough element; the protagonist gets to start over when they initially fail, but it's very minor. The author clearly intended to include some erotic content.

I was in such a good mood during summer vacation, and my writing came out far too cheerful and just didn't feel right. I'll give it another try when school starts…] After ten years of playing Glory, I return once more to that snowy night in Season Eight. First person, male protagonist Ye Xiu. Not a power fantasy.

   Even though it's a bit of a disappointment, I still highly recommend it... It's strangely good! [Shy][shy]

   Essentially, it's a story about the protagonist becoming invincible after multiple save-loading attempts; the soccer subplot is so-so (pps: those who are really into Haikyuu!! Might want to be aware of out-of-character moments...).

4. 4 宋 Song Wan’s Looping Life 宋婉的周目人生 Mo Xiangwan莫向晚Romance2.8M WordsCompleted Transmigrating is like winning a grand prize, and shouldn't be squandered. Being reborn is like winning again, and shouldn't be squandered either... After going through it several times, Song Wan no longer knew why she could keep restarting her transmigration point and reliving this part of her life. Perhaps everyone has something they must let go of in life. Perhaps there are things she must never let go of. When two meet beneath golden winds and jade dew, it surpasses countless moments in the 6kFavorites13.4kClicks/ch15kGifts

   I suggest watching the first playthrough before deciding whether to continue (it's not career-oriented; the female lead isn't exactly weak, but most of the time she seems to be stuck in the same place).

5. 5 李 Li Jianing's Amazing Journey 李嘉宁的奇妙之旅 Zhang Dingding张鼎鼎Romance2.8M WordsCompleted You cannot decide what you look like, what family you are born into, or how intelligent you are. Most things in life are beyond your control. All you can do is use the few things you can control to shift the course of your life. “Would you like to be reborn?” “Like Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence?” … “If I keep my memories, being reborn would be an ordeal. If I don’t, I probably won’t end up living the life I have now.” “Then let’s make a few changes to your original circumstances.” What would li 30kFavorites41.6kClicks/ch177.8kGifts

   The first few worlds were quite interesting, but the later ones didn't really impress me.

She was supposed to be nothing more than an insignificant cannon-fodder character, but after she accidentally saves the heroine from bullying, she gets caught up in trouble she can't escape.

A transfer student Jiang Huai has never met tells him, "Don't be afraid. We'll work together and get out of here." Jiang Huai: "Heh." He thinks, "That's what you said in the last save, too." Then the guy turns around and runs off without him. * In an RPG, having a save file means "I'm already invincible," so you can go wild and do whatever you want.

   It's alright, the rest is so-so.

He had been poor and rich, a prisoner and an emperor. He had walked among people from every walk of life. He had a secret: he was immortal. Every death was just another rebirth. “I don't know what I should do. I just feel like this world ought to be a little better, a little warmer.” For that, he crossed life and death, searching tirelessly.

But that's just how things are in this world: The things you love and want don't necessarily fall into your hands. Like most people in the world, she lacks talent.

   I personally quite liked it. Although everyone says it was padded and had a bad ending, I enjoyed watching the female lead's acting improve step by step.

    The beginning was okay, but the later parts were really mediocre and messy. I heard the author has some scandalous gossip, but I don't know what it is.
