😋I recommend the following novel to you: 1. [Memories Paranormal: A mystery detective and horror novel written by Dream Seeker. It tells the story of Memories Seeker's member, Mu Shiyi, who follows a mysterious case to solve it and falls into a world-destroying conspiracy.] 2. "The Superpowered Rebirth of a Young Girl, the Spiritualist": A mystery detective novel written by Nalan Xinyu. It tells the story of a young girl who has the ability to exorcise spirits and embark on an adventure. 3. [Sprite Regeneration: A light novel written by Infinite Fire, a derivative Doujinshi novel. It tells the story of Lin Xing who was reborn into the World of Elves, became a precious dragon, and promised to become the strongest sprite trainer.] The above is my personal recommendation.

Then there's 'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik. It's a story of a young woman named Agnieszka who is chosen by a powerful wizard to live with him for ten years. It has a great blend of magic, a strong female lead, and a unique take on the traditional fantasy tropes.

Sure. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is a great one. It takes readers on a wild and imaginative journey. 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien is also among the best. It creates a richly detailed fantasy world. And 'Ulysses' by James Joyce, though complex, is a masterful work of modernist literature.

The top ones are 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina'. 'War and Peace' has a massive scope, covering battles, politics, and personal relationships.
