    All are light novels, but the styles are completely different. The first one: a pure female-centric story. I thought there would be a romantic pairing, but by the end, I realized there wasn't. At the beginning, the plot was a bit like "Step Aside, Let Me Do It," but it was still very good. I kept reading, and the ending was unexpected! The second one: a female-centric story, but not chaste; the male lead is a eunuch. If you mind that, don't read it. But… I initially didn't read it because of that, but later, I was in a reading slump, and this one was recommended a lot, so I read it, and I couldn't stop reading. The third one: also a female-centric story. The plot is so-so, but it's really satisfying. The supporting characters don't talk much; they're easily defeated by the female lead [facepalm]. If you don't want to be bullied, you should definitely check it out. The fourth and fifth ones: both by the same author, with similar writing styles, except the fifth one is more mature. Both are male-centric stories. There's no female lead, no romantic interest, and absolutely no romance. It's either fighting and revenge, or on the way to fighting and revenge [facepalm].
