   My personal favorite slice-of-life European novel from the 19th century. The subject matter is relatively rare; most other authors' works on this period don't appeal to my taste. It mainly focuses on the female protagonist's daily life in 19th-century Europe, and the romance follows the traditional Pride and Prejudice formula. Warning: The article is extremely fluffy, with over 50% of it being filler content.

    This is a crossover horror story, featuring Leon as the male protagonist. It incorporates elements from Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and other franchises, and includes numerous locations. The author has portrayed the original characters very well, avoiding any out-of-character (OOC) moments. This author excels at writing crossovers of both British and American fiction. The romance in this book is better than the author's previous works, which were mostly non-CP (no romantic pairing). Furthermore, this author has written many Resident Evil fanfics, and the plot lines are all quite good.

The protagonist's character in the first world is not perfect (he is somewhat ambivalent, timid, and socially awkward), but that's precisely what makes the story more interesting. Personally, I don't like mixing BL (Boys' Love) elements into sports stories. Although this book deliberately portrays the relationship between the pitcher and catcher, it's generally negligible.

    It's a wuxia (martial arts) transmigration novel with decent writing, but some of the wuxia characters are out of character (OOC). The author's description of Li Xunhuan is also too out of character. I originally liked this novel, but I dropped it when I got to the part about Lin Shiyin.

    This is a very niche isekai (otherworld) novel featuring a non-human protagonist (the male lead doesn't turn into a human, and he has an alternate personality). The writing style leans towards a slice-of-life fairytale. You could try all of this author's otherekai novels. (The author's writing style for non-humans is truly unique and authentically immersive.)
