   Reader note

   The first book beautifully illustrates that a woman's soul can achieve great things regardless of whether she uses a male, animal, or female body. Whether rich or poor, young or old, she has a complete life. It's several levels above those so-called "strong woman" novels where the female lead is always rich, beautiful, and has everything but still longs for love and must find a man. The second book is a true example of a transmigrated female protagonist becoming an empress. The female lead has only one goal from beginning to end: to unify the world. Those who follow her are all conquered by her personal charm or powerful strength. Her marriage to an empress is a semi-political arrangement; it's a story of winners and losers, with various powerful figures vying for power. I suggest ignoring the comments section; the shipping can get a bit obsessive.

   The first book is an ancient time-travel ensemble piece. The female protagonist is strategic, morally upright, adept at using tactics to defeat enemies, capable of weighing pros and cons, and possesses empathy without being overly idealistic. The second book features an SSS-level female protagonist from the start in a space-age fantasy novel. Later, it leans towards patriotism, depicting a battle against alien beasts to protect the planet, which then reveals the female protagonist's true identity. The third and fourth books are a series by the same author, both being face-slapping, alternate-identity, and satisfying stories with romantic pairings. The female protagonists from the first two books appear in both of these other books as well.

The forensic setting at the beginning is so exciting, and the apocalyptic setting of this infinite flow novel is also very interesting. The only pity is that the ending is too rushed. Did the author not want to write anymore? 🥲 3. Many people recommended this one, it's super good. 4. A treasure I recently discovered!

    These two books are truly excellent examples of strong female protagonist novels, especially the second one, "White Phoenix." It's so rare to find a female-oriented novel where the female lead's character doesn't crumble because of the male lead. Every time I get hooked, I'm drawn in, but then the moment the male lead appears and the female lead falls for him, I can't continue reading. "White Phoenix" is a 100-point recommendation.

    Ranking them by my personal preference, the first one is my absolute favorite. The rest are in no particular order. I started reading the first one from the very beginning, so there was no reason I started reading it later just because it got interesting. It was very fun from the start, with a thieving female protagonist in the early stages. The writing is excellent; I wouldn't continue reading a novel if it wasn't good from the beginning. If any of you have questions about the other books, I can answer them. They're all super, super good!!! (P. S. It's not that typing is tiring)
