   The last book that amazed me this much was Lin Du and Zhuang Qingyu 🔥🍅 This one is a no-romance, ensemble piece, featuring a silly, independent group of four cultivators: one is highly intelligent, ruthless, and highly productive; one is simple, funny, and rich; one is powerful yet poor; and there's a gloomy young man. But it doesn't just focus on these four; it also describes the others extensively ✨ And!!! The author's imagination is truly boundless, and the writing is superb. Some parts feel like clearing a dungeon 🔥 The female lead is incredibly strong, her intelligence completely crushing everyone else ✨ The plot doesn't drag, and the progression is super fast!
