   No romance, high-quality female-centric novel, highly recommended! This is the third one! It's a truly thought-provoking female-centric novel, really, really good.

The first and fourth ones have male characters and there are some slightly ambiguous romantic feelings between them, and some male characters have one-sided feelings for the female lead.

    No romantic pairing! The author lets readers choose which world they want to read! In the first world, the female protagonist farms in the early stages and later serves her country. She diligently completes her missions. Each world feels like a complete world. It's a quick transmigration story with no romantic pairing. The female protagonist is a "green tea" type (a manipulative woman) to her enemies but kind to her family. She gains skills in each world she transmigrates to and uses them later. The story is not intellectually stunted, with some humorous moments. The female protagonist has a strong business sense, and in one scene, she even organizes a social event in ancient times. The story has positive values, a fast-paced and engaging plot, and the female protagonist isn't a saint. In the second world, the female protagonist has a group of noble ladies as fans! She is gentle and intelligent, helping noble ladies and ordinary women realize their value! The female protagonist changes her spoiled lifestyle, establishes a clothing business, and becomes a county magistrate! She receives a message from a Buddhist master. The story is a bit slow-paced at first, but it gets really exciting later on!!!

    ① This is a very famous novel without a romantic pairing. The protagonist has a profound personality, and the author's writing is humorous and logical. The world-building is grand and diverse. ② The content concerns social realities, mostly collective issues, such as the pandemic, the pressure of intense competition, and parenting styles in Central Asia. It's suspenseful and a bit thrilling, but don't worry, the protagonist helps me adjust my mindset. Those with a low tear threshold shouldn't read it, because it's really moving. The plot is also very interesting and patriotic. ③ It's a political novel, and you can tell that the men in it are not good people. However, the author's internal dialogue is really good, like forum posts or news articles. The author's writing is very strong. I really want to see the drama series written by the author adapted. It also describes the inner thoughts of the female protagonist many times, making her character richer and more profound. ④ History Group-oriented, like reading a history book, but the main characters are predominantly female. Later on, the main characters are less prominent, with the focus shifting to the joys and sorrows of ordinary people in history, and their pioneering and innovative spirit. The author's writing is solid, with a deep understanding of history, so you can read with confidence. ⑤ This one is finished; it's lighter than the earlier ones, a Mary Sue type, but with a rich and diverse female background, progressing from simple to complex, and includes some... Well, you know. But the female lead's portrayal seems to be all love and no love. ⑥ This one is finished; a workplace drama. The female lead is very cunning. Although the author says she relies on men, I think it showcases more of her abilities and self-awareness, as well as the tension between the sexes. It's very engaging, with that kind of strong sexual tension.

    I'd eat 9+1 while doing a handstand if the male lead is in it! Highly recommend this first book! The pacing is great, it's not a Mary Sue story, there's no romance or ambiguity, and the romance is incredibly heartwarming!! The female lead is also very hardworking!

    Reader note

    These are all novels without a romantic pairing, featuring various genres including multiple identities, Western European female protagonist, historical fiction, quick transmigration, and villainous female protagonist. 1. This genre is rare; the protagonist is bound to a system to complete tasks by creating avatars with different personalities, backgrounds, and abilities. The female protagonist perfectly embodies each avatar, seemingly suffering from multiple personality disorder. She's incredibly eccentric and a super dog. 2. Western European female protagonist, a growth and development novel. She's a fake noblewoman, a true queen. You can read the synopsis for the plot. I really want to praise the author; this is the first time I've seen a book that so perfectly suits my taste. The plot, the female protagonist's personality, and the personalities and thinking of the other supporting characters are all excellent. There's no forced stupidity! No saintly figures! No clichéd plots! The female protagonist's speech and actions are very comfortable to read. I hope the author updates more often! Update soon!! [Angry] 3. A period drama with a large cast of characters, also a female-centric story. The characters are natural and vivid, giving the feeling that the era was truly like that. The female lead has a cheat ability, but it's mostly for her own benefit and doesn't significantly change anything. The focus is on the everyday family life and the female lead's character and conduct. This one is also very good. I'm still waiting for updates. 4. Not much to say, just the ultimate female lead in quick transmigration novels. You can read the synopsis for the plot. I think it could be called "The Unspeakable's Retirement Life." 5. A super villainous female lead, very satisfying, but not mindlessly so. As a selfish villain, the female lead's personality is really good, and the author's writing is excellent.

    The first one needs no introduction, right? The second one is a really good novel I stumbled upon, especially in the early stages. Although the pacing is slow, it gets really good after the middle and isn't boring at all. Overall, it's a little angsty later on, but very sweet in the beginning.
