    Reader note

    The first book is a fantasy, rebirth, ancient setting, and comedy. The female protagonist's past life identity was a vampire saint, a genius. It's not exaggerated; you'll understand once you read it. Do the second and third books even need introduction? The fourth book features a female protagonist who is a soldier and initially disguises herself as a man (as others perceive her to be), and is a genius. I've only read a little bit of the fifth book, but I'm already tempted to keep reading. There's really no need to introduce the sixth and seventh books. The last book was chosen based on my personal preference. After all, I read all 4,000+ chapters; it would be a lie to say I had no feelings for it. Although the subject matter is rather old-fashioned, it was a book from about four years ago, when this kind of subject matter was considered novel. The author's writing is excellent, and the reader is highly engaged. These are the books I recommend. Basically, they're all pretty good.
