    These are all incredibly good! The first one features two strong childhood sweethearts (I think I can't quite remember the exact title). The relationship between the male and female leads is somewhat of an Omega story, but I personally think it's a happy ending. There's not much romance; the focus is mainly on escape and infrastructure development. Later on, both the female lead and the male lead shine in their respective fields. The second one focuses more on infrastructure development later on. The third one is about a one-sided crush on a boy who loves a girl. The female lead is a bit melancholic, but she's healed by her friends and her misunderstanding of her father is cleared up, making her a better person. It's more of an ensemble piece. The fourth one is a bit older, but anyway, the female lead is incredibly capable, and the male lead is also incredibly capable. There's a part where the male lead suffers from amnesia, and the ending isn't a traditional happy ending.
