Female Lead With No Romance, and Lots of Female Characters
As the title says.
Looking for an Interstellar Power Fantasy With a Strong Female Lead!
No Mary Sue heroines, no cooking or raising kids. I just want proper sci-fi mecha battles and monster-fighting progression, with good writing and nothing too brainless. I’m a bit picky, so please, sisters, help me out. I really can’t find anything.

Why four stars? Because the author started school, and I think it might not end as quickly as I expected. It's very well-written. Aside from the author being in a rush to finish before school, I think it's highly recommended. It's great; every character is very well-developed. But I still hope they can pay off their debts 😢😢😢. Just my personal opinion, I feel the ending doesn't do justice to their hardships.
From the moment the female protagonist enters the mecha department, the money-saving plot unfolds naturally. Her interactions with her roommates, practical classes, and interstellar competitions are all very relatable. There are no fancy words, but you can still feel the fun of the story. The bankruptcy twist is not abrupt either. It's a pretty good book.
The premise is quite fresh: a pharmacist turns to mecha studies. The female lead and her roommate's everyday money-saving details, like using expired maintenance oil and modifying the engine to save electricity, feel realistic and interesting. The interstellar competition plot is suspenseful, and the bankruptcy twist is unexpected. I'll continue watching to see how it unfolds.
Putting everything else aside, author, was your cover image AI-generated? Why are there three legs? [What?] @Sweetandsourribsjumizu
Does the forced reassignment system disregard the students' living conditions?
It's really good, the concept is great, but the process was too difficult 🤦 How could someone be so unlucky as to direct something like this?
Wow, it looks so good! ૧(●´৺`●)૭
It looks great, it looks great, it's so hot! The academic genius is quite good-looking, anyway, I really like it.
Two stingy people met
Funny, good, worth watching
