I recommend " The Era of the Descent of the Heavens ", a light novel created by Lava Volcano. It is a derivative doujinshi novel. It talks about the era of the heavens after the myriad worlds are broken. It is about Yi Chen's adventure and becoming the only existence. The male protagonist, Yi Chen, is a genius of the Yi family. He is 178cm. You can also follow the author's new book. " I, Godzilla, Ultraman World's Big Villain " was not bad either. It was written by Unyielding Bamboo. Godzilla was the main character, 99999999 years old, 138cm tall, and 999999Kg heavy. Yang Xiaoye was Godzilla's human form, 25 years old. There were also other characters. The story was interesting, but the content after chapter 214 was repeated. Those who had already signed up could ask the author for a refund. " Old Man Liu's Life of Giving Money Away " was a novel about urban life written by Qingqing Harakanaka. The old man wanted to give money away even though he had obtained the wealth system. The plot was very interesting. "Hello, I am Ximen Qing", composed by Xiao Yu. The young man dressed up as Ximen Qing and caused trouble in the Northern Song Dynasty. There were all kinds of interesting character settings. The Time Plunderer, written by Gu Tianya. Toshizaki Mad Three was reborn as Marvel and embarked on a plundering journey.
