I’m a sucker for stories where ordinary people defy expectations, so 'Rising from a Delivery Boy' hit all the right notes for me. If you’re after something with a similar flavor, 'Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator' might scratch that itch. It’s got that blend of modern-day struggles with fantastical elements, and the protagonist’s growth feels earned rather than handed to him. The revenge arcs are chef’s kiss—cathartic without being overly edgy.
For a lighter take, 'My House of Horrors' is surprisingly heartfelt despite its horror-comedy label. The MC starts with a failing haunted house business and ends up... well, no spoilers, but the way he leverages his wit and creativity reminded me of the delivery boy’s resourcefulness. The dialogue crackles with personality, and the side stories add layers to the main plot.
If you loved the rags-to-riches vibe of 'Rising from a Delivery Boy,' you should definitely check out 'The Legendary Mechanic.' It’s got that same underdog energy where the protagonist starts from nothing and claws their way up through sheer grit and cleverness. The pacing is addictive, and the world-building feels immersive without being overwhelming. I binge-read it over a weekend because I couldn’t put it down—every chapter leaves you rooting for the MC like they’re your own sibling.
Another gem is 'Library of Heaven’s Path,' which mixes humor with progression in a way that feels fresh. The protagonist’s journey from a down-and-out teacher to someone revered is hilarious yet oddly inspiring. The power system is creative, and the side characters actually have depth, which is rare in this genre. Honestly, both these titles made me appreciate how satisfying it is to watch someone turn their life around against all odds.
You know what’s underrated? 'Gourmet of Another World.' It’s not about delivery boys, but the vibe of starting small and building something legendary is there. The MC opens a tiny restaurant in a fantasy world, and watching him gain recognition through his cooking feels just as rewarding as any battle-heavy progression novel. The food descriptions are so vivid I got hungry reading it.
Alternatively, 'A Will Eternal’s' comedic take on cultivation has that same mix of humility and ambition. The protagonist’s antics are ridiculous, but you can’t help but admire how he turns every setback into a stepping stone. It’s like watching a meme come to life in the best way possible.

In my previous life, my sister thought that since my husband and I had high-paying jobs, she could swap her son with my child without anyone noticing.
But twenty-five years later, the tables turned.
My son had grown into a street thug, while her son—raised under my care—rose smoothly through life. Young as he was, he had already become a CEO. He was dutiful, bought me a villa, and even sent me traveling around the world.
My sister barged into his company, waving a DNA test report, kicking up a scene, only to be thrown out by security.
"Mr. Kieran said that even if you are his biological mother, you never gave him a single day of care," they told her. "So he refuses to acknowledge you."
Breaking down completely, she drove her car into me and ended my life.
When I opened my eyes again, we had returned to the very day she switched our babies.
This time, my sister clutched her own child tightly, a wild, triumphant grin on her face.
"From now on, you can be the mother of a street thug," she sneered. "The villa and all those riches—they're mine!"
After passing through the lowest point in his life, the trash son-in-law has risen.
After passing through the lowest point in his life, the trash son-in-law has risen.
I'm the only son of my parents, who are the richest people in the country. Yet, they decide to raise me while giving me as little money as possible.
In order to toughen me up, they decide to only give me five thousand dollars per year.
"Two thousand dollars is for college tuition, and the remaining three thousand dollars is for your living costs and accommodation. If you want to stay at home, you'll need to pay rent—500 dollars a day. If you don't have the money, you can write an IOU."
But I end up getting robbed that night, leaving me penniless.
In order to be able to continue my college studies, I can only ask my parents for money. Of course, they turn me down immediately.
"You actually learned how to lie just to swindle more money from us, eh? Since you refuse to learn your lesson, your allowance for next year will be cut in half."
My parents refuse to listen to my explanation and insist on kicking me out. So, I can only work three jobs per day, allowing me to save up two thousand dollars. But the moment I save the money in my account, it gets frozen instantly.
That's when my parents begin mocking me.
"And here you are, claiming that you didn't lie to us! Where did you get the tuition fees from, then? We shall confiscate the money as a form of punishment. You can use the rest of your money for your studies."
Amid my despair, I see the live comments streaking before my eyes.
"The male lead's parents want him to realize that it isn't easy living out there. When they hired the thugs to rob him blind, their hearts ached so much for him that they cried."
"I hope that the male lead can grow up as soon as possible. That way, the misunderstanding will get resolved, and the family of three can continue living happily ever after."
But this time, the comments can no longer console me.
I place the house keys on the porch quietly before turning on my heel and walking away.
I don't want these parents of mine anymore.
After transmigrating into a redemption novel, I spent three years running a food truck at a farmers' market and saving the villain, Ethan Taylor, who was supposed to die miserably.
On the day his company went public, he stood under the spotlight in a tailored suit. I thought he was finally going to fulfill his promise to marry me.
Instead, he pulled his widowed sister-in-law, Daisy Campbell, who was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, onto the stage.
He took out a diamond ring and spoke with deep emotion, "To continue the family line, Daisy used the last of her life to carry a miracle for me. It's a debt I'll have to repay for the rest of my life."
In the mansion I had built brick by brick, his mother held Daisy's hand. "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, that greasy gold-digger won't dare lay a finger on you or my precious grandson!"
Ethan relaxed when he noticed that I didn't kick up a fuss.
There was a look of relief crossing his face as he said, "I only wanted to fulfill Daisy's dying wish. Since you're being so understanding, transfer all the money we saved to her for safekeeping.
"I'm not bothered by your orphan background. So, you may stay by my side as long as Daisy is happy."
I couldn't help but burst into peals of laughter upon being on the receiving end of his self-righteousness.
What he didn't know was that I had just learned my father, who had ties to the underworld, had also transmigrated into this redemption novel.
The infamous king of the underworld would personally deliver him a "gift" in 10 days' time, while I would return to being the princess of the underworld.
Three years after my death, Naomi Dudley—the woman I've driven away—finally returns to Avenport.
She is still with Bryson Lloyd. She leans into him, looking sweet and submissive.
At the story's end, the main couple's sweet romance continues.
The only one who meets a miserable end is me, the villain who dares to steal the female lead.
They are here to visit her mother's grave, and I happen to be buried just a short distance away.
I float beside Naomi, looking at her and Bryson. They really do look like the perfect couple.
Once the candle burns down, Naomi finds an excuse to send Bryson away.
She walks over to my headstone and stands there in silence for a long time. So long that I assume she is just trying to find the right words to curse me.
Instead, tears well up as she smiles and touches my photograph on the stone. "Kenneth, why haven't you visited my dreams?"
I suppose it's because I'm not Bryson. My lingering regrets will never reach her dreams.
If you loved 'The Last Delivery' for its mix of quiet introspection and dystopian undertones, you might enjoy 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel. Both books explore humanity's fragility through the lens of societal collapse, though 'Station Eleven' leans more into the aftermath of a pandemic. The prose is equally lyrical, and the characters feel just as real—flawed, hopeful, and deeply human.
Another gem is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which shares that same bleak yet poetic vibe. While 'The Last Delivery' has a gentler touch, 'The Road' hits harder with its raw survival narrative. For something lighter but still thought-provoking, try 'The Postmortal' by Drew Magary—it’s got that same blend of mundane life meeting extraordinary circumstances.
Man, 'Rent Boy' is such a raw and emotional read—it dives deep into gritty, real-life struggles with this visceral honesty that sticks with you. If you're looking for something with similar intensity, I'd suggest 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller. It's not exactly the same, but the way it explores love, sacrifice, and vulnerability against a harsh backdrop hits just as hard. Another one that comes to mind is 'Less Than Zero' by Bret Easton Ellis, which captures that sense of disillusionment and fragmented identity.
For something more contemporary, maybe 'Lie With Me' by Philippe Besson? It's quieter but achingly poignant, with that same undercurrent of longing and fleeting connections. Oh, and if you haven't read 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara, brace yourself—it’s brutal but beautiful, like 'Rent Boy' cranked up to eleven. Just keep tissues handy.
