Beautiful Writing, Superpowers, Academy Setting, Peerless Looks, and Unmatched Talent
Looking for Ensemble Cast or Team Stories, with Fully Realized Characters, Not Disposable Pawns
I have a soft spot for supporting characters. They shine just as brightly as the protagonists. Full of life, with winding stories of their own, they live as the main characters of their own destinies, not as footnotes in someone else's. I'll always cheer for ensemble casts.

Looking for stories like My Junior Sister Is Obviously Super Strong, Yet Ridiculously Goofy. I want the sect members to get together at competitions, bicker over little things in their daily lives, but stand united when it really matters. They skip class together, cultivate together, and get punished together. No white-lotus female rivals, please.
Male-Oriented Stories with No Official Couple, but You Can Ship the Protagonist with Others
I read a book where the protagonist was a villain who became friends with a bunch of chosen ones. Their dynamic was so good. I'm looking for something like that.

This is absolutely amazing, incredibly well-written!! Xun Ge's laid-back attitude, living for the moment, is just like that!! He's so mysterious, what's his true identity?! Dare to tell me now, he's practically a master! I love seeing everyone think our Xun Ge is a big shot (although it's true, it is). Is Xun Ge genuinely a lazy sleeper, or is it just his body protecting itself from exhaustion?
I love how lazy and laid-back the main character is usually, but incredibly reliable when it counts! His frequent drowsiness is just so endearing ^^ This kind of expert handling newbie situations, the legendary face-changing king (actor-like!), The crowd control in dungeons, and that feeling of complete control is just so cool!
I will tell you in the most straightforward, direct, correct, fast, effective, and efficient way: This book is so good it's explosive and incredibly cool! You'll regret it for life if you don't read it, and you'll be happy for life if you do! I'm so excited! I love reading it so much! It's the first book I've read since "Passerby B" that's completely to my liking! It's perfect!
It's a great read, and the main character's design really resonated with me. The character development of the main character and other supporting characters is also excellent. There are many foreshadowing elements in the early stages, which are gradually filled in later. The reveal of secrets is also very satisfying. "Return to Zero" is like a white moonlight, piercing my heart.
Beautiful and enjoyable to read, a treasure trove of books with endless possibilities. Superpowers, teenage boy, male protagonist, female-oriented, organized?
Xiao Jiang is so cute! Her cool demeanor is just too adorable! I absolutely love this lazy yet reliable and capable character! The other characters are cute too! Zero is such a cute bunch!!! So cute! The characters are very well-defined, and the author didn't use any deceptive tactics. The lack of a romantic pairing is so refreshing! I completely approve of the fact that there's no ambiguous or chaotic romantic relationship between the characters! It's definitely not an AI-generated story!
So good! I love Xun Ge's style. For me, he's on par with random passersby in terms of being a top-tier character without a romantic partner.
It's really good! Xun Ge is so handsome! I love infinite flow novels, dungeon-crawler stories, novels with no main couple and ensemble casts, and novels with superpowers. I never expected an author to combine all these elements. It's really good, the plot flows smoothly, and there are many foreshadowing elements. Highly recommended! 😘 (The rating is so low!
❗❗❗This book is seriously amazing! Absolutely no redeeming qualities, the main characters are all wonderfully kind, and it's an ensemble piece. Plus, the main character is incredibly sweet! Little Jiang, Little Jiang, we love you! My grandma, ...
To put it simply, the protagonist is still beautiful, strong, and tragically beautiful; cold-faced yet adorable with no romantic partner; seemingly lazy, but the real reason is due to the price paid. 🥺 The ensemble character development is a major highlight.
