   [It's not finished yet, but I added it to my reading list in advance because I like it so much] [Reason for four stars: The chapter update pace is slightly laggy, making it a bit slow to read.] Reasons for recommendation: Marshal Chu's abilities and personal charisma are simply too overwhelming… The kind of truly powerful and satisfying female lead I've been searching for, with a plot that's absolutely central to the story and a believably charming female lead, has appeared before me. It's hard to simply describe my love for Marshal Chu… I've almost never encountered a BG novel that I could enjoy from beginning to end without wanting to stop reading; this is the first. (This is just my personal feeling!!) (And after reading two of this author's works, I couldn't help but complain that the author is really bad at coming up with titles... The characters are very well-developed, and I highly recommend that you read a few more chapters before deciding whether to quit!)

   [The five-star rating contains an emotional filter.] A slice-of-life novel where the female protagonist transmigrates back to her third year of junior high school and studies hard. This book has a different art style than the others on the list, but I personally really want to recommend it. The main story is about the protagonist going back in time, studying for four years, and finally getting into a top university. The female lead has a calm and collected personality. In her third year of junior high school, she rose from the middle of her class to the top ten in her grade and finally won first place in the city. After high school, she was always the class monitor and the top student in her grade. The writing style is very down-to-earth; aside from some issues related to different eras (such as competitions), it's practically a written reenactment of campus life. Many readers might find it too bland and uneventful, but I personally really enjoy it. I personally don't like the plot of falling in love after the college entrance exam, then starting a business, getting married, getting pregnant, and having children, but I've read it several times because it's too realistic... So it's a bit painful. However, since this book is one of my favorites that accompanied me throughout junior and senior high school, and one of my irreplaceable memories, I gave it five stars.

   [Five stars contain an emotional filter] [Originally four stars: The ending's world-building was too grand, and the conclusion was mediocre; the writing and pacing of the first arc were not engaging enough, requiring more reading to appreciate its strengths.] A non-typical post-apocalyptic novel where the woman disguises herself as a man (I won't go into too much detail about the spoilers). Recommended Highlights: 1. Female lead's personal charm: (No offense intended or comparison intended!) Shi Hanli is somewhat similar to Zhang Qiling (of course, the two characters are completely different at their core! This is just a description). You can get a sense of it from the perspective. I'm usually very critical of characters in stories where the protagonist is the central figure, but the protagonist in this book truly lives up to that standard. The author excels at developing the protagonist, and even with average writing, the reader can still feel the protagonist's inherent charm. 2. Supporting Character Development: The story features many interesting supporting characters, and the dungeon and central city sections are particularly engaging, making it a worthwhile read. This makes the first point even more valuable, as the female lead's charisma is not overshadowed by the adorable supporting characters; instead, it enhances her charm.
