For exciting and short novels, I recommend the following two: " Raising an Immortal Child Bride " was a story about a big sister in the demon world who accidentally angered a small immortal in the immortal world. As a result, after reincarnation, she became a thin, small, and ugly child bride, but she fought back with perseverance. The novel was not too long, but the male and female protagonists and supporting characters had their own personalities. The plot was full of ups and downs, especially the female protagonist who never gave in despite being in adversity. Her personality and thinking were very unique, and it was very worth reading. " My Magic Is Special ": The plot of this novel is light and humorous. The protagonist learns magic and applies it to his life to make his life better. Although it was not very long, it was very interesting.
