   My dad says he's a sequel to God, which is quite touching. The protagonist's father, a grim reaper, goes missing for some reason. The female lead and her husband suffer amnesia while searching for him, and the husband remains in a coma in the hospital. Their son is also unfilial. Thankfully, the grim reaper father returns and accompanies the protagonist through her old age.

She feels her siblings are like her family reincarnated from her past life, and the little girl raises them with unwavering determination, encountering many kind people along the way.

    This quick transmigration novel is really to my liking; I stayed up all night to catch the latest one. It's about a five-and-a-half-year-old boy who travels to different worlds with a group of monsters. Actually, the earlier parts of his modern and historical novels in the same series were also very enjoyable. It's just that the later parts got a bit bland because the story became too long, and the part where the monsters find the time-traveling little sect leader and settle down became rather uneventful.

    A great book I recently read. The female protagonist starts out with her father dead, her mother remarried, leaving behind two younger siblings, and an injured leg. Despite this explosive start, she uses her special ability—underwater breathing—to catch fish and take her family to new heights, moving from a fishing village to the county town. The family pets are also adorable: a grumpy yet timid old turtle accompanies her to the sea; three fat cats scavenge leftovers for the family kitchen; the timid old turtle her uncle picked up serves as the kids' ride (the cats and parrots also love it); the quirky parrot adds a touch of spice to the family life; and the not-so-important male protagonist, a mere plot device, doesn't change her lifestyle, supporting her in fishing, selling fish, and running her family kitchen.

    Before her rebirth, the female protagonist was a staunch non-marriage advocate. Reborn into a second-marriage family in the 1970s, she immediately wanted to divorce her husband and raise her child. However, due to the realities of that era, she didn't divorce him for the sake of survival (PS: I almost dropped the story at this point). Her husband was incredibly helpful, cleaning up their mess, and the female protagonist happily and simply raised her child.
