A single-female-lead, ensemble piece with supernatural abilities—no system, no time travel, no mindless plots, and no harem! The romance is delicate and rich, the battle scenes are exciting and thrilling, the world-building is novel and interesting, and every character is more than just a plot device; they all have their own unique personalities and storylines. Definitely worth reading, especially if you're experiencing a reading slump or are simply bored!

    The first book's protagonist isn't particularly strong, but his special privileges are amazing. The second book uses lightning, resulting in rapid growth; it's alright. The third book has a cheat-like advantage that makes growth incredibly fast; it's good in the early stages, but I personally feel the later stages are just average. The fourth book is just for fun.
