Book 4 is not finished yet, but it seems pretty good. Book 5 is by Huan Da, whose puppetry skills are incredibly powerful—and don't forget he's called the Illusionist! The last book is by Xiao Ge (I haven't read it in a while), which is also very good.

He uses her purely for his own ends, and throws her away once she's served her purpose later on. If you can't accept that, don't click. Don't say I promised to kill off the Red Faction and then didn't. Lu Xiangxi, a "law-abiding" little hacker from Huaxia, died in a ridiculous wa —Reads—Score—Shelves

    Among the villain novels I've read on Tomato, this is the only one that manages to break free from the cliché of raising a chosen one like a pig and forcibly reducing their intelligence. The author's sharp writing and the protagonist's ample inner monologue create a remarkably well-developed character.
