    All of these are completed, non-CP (no romance) novels rated 9 points or higher. The first is a cultivation novel, a female-centric story of ascending to immortality. The female lead is incredibly intelligent, though I personally felt the beginning wasn't well-written. It improved significantly after the first arc, becoming increasingly captivating. The second is an ancient metaphysics novel where the female lead is relentlessly vengeful and takes revenge; the family relationships are also very touching. The third's content is self-explanatory from the title, with a surprising ending. However, I feel the writing isn't as good as the others, but the plot is engaging. The fourth has two female leads, a friendship-focused story that's really enjoyable. The young lady is adorable, and Mingyue is incredibly powerful; the plot is very satisfying and never frustrating. The fifth is also a female-centric cultivation novel, but compared to the first, it's more of a violent aesthetic. The female lead uses her fists to physically defeat every enemy, which is very satisfying, and the style leans towards comedy. The sixth is a male-oriented novel with a cute protagonist. The plot feels more like an infinite flow story, the arcs are well-written, but the ending is a bit angsty. The seventh book is also a male-oriented novel. The author has a pretty good imagination. The protagonist obtains a card-drawing system, and he gains a skill for each card he draws. However, these skills are all quite "torture-like" 😂

    Here's a ranking of these 11 books, in my personal opinion. Number 4 is definitely the best fantasy novel, available on Tomato Bookstore (the rating isn't particularly high because it was on hiatus for a long time; I followed it for four years). Number 9 is an entertainment industry novel, with very delicate emotional portrayals. Many people have probably heard of this book, "Li Jin Qian Fan" (栗尽千帆), the main couple's name. Number 5 is a historical novel (Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties). The author put a lot of effort into this book, researching various documents, and each chapter has annotations indicating which source it comes from. It's very logical and shows great intelligence. Number 7 is a light and refreshing literary novel with a touch of fantasy. It's already been published and is exceptionally good. This book became an unexpected hit, even before the author anticipated it. The remaining books are period dramas, farming novels, and palace intrigue novels, each with its own unique style. For example, number 1 is incredibly heartwarming and tear-jerking. Number 10 is a simulator palace intrigue novel, truly a unique and original work at the time.
