A Meeting on the Tip of the Tongue

I’m In a Serious Reading Slump, Please Recommend Good Books That Fit My Criteria 🙏 👇

Up to four books: no forced macho femininity, no everyone-loves-the-protagonist setups, no stupidity, and no nonsensical romance (romance is optional). No rebirth or transmigration, preferably no fake heiresses and real heiresses either. Also, the main characters should speak up. Thanks, everyone.
