In the world of the gods, philosophy is compared with science for verification, language is compared with graphics, numbers, and symbols for mutual supplementation, and it touches on human-related aspects such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, medicine, entertainment, and tools, giving readers a correct worldview, a revolutionary exploration of the unknown world, a way to open up thinking, and a questioning of fixed knowledge. And, a male protagonist who can be strong or weak and doesn't need to level up, and a female protagonist who is super-powerful and can dominate everything.

    Reader note

    The first book, "Seeking Songs with Wine," is undoubtedly the best. The two female protagonists in the first and second books are, in my opinion, the top 0 (I prefer "Seeking Songs" in terms of genre). The first book features a protagonist who is in hiding and seeking revenge in the early stages, and later improves herself in the game world of gods and battlefields, and meets formidable enemies. I don't know if you can see my long review on my homepage. The only drawback is that it is being serialized, but it is already incredibly long. The second book features a female protagonist who has a terrible start, but she is incredibly lucky. She gets her soul swapped by someone else, but she manages to get it back through her own schemes, and it is a female-dominated society! The true female-dominated society isn't just a simple gender reversal, and the author is incredibly detailed, with too many similarities to husband-wife/nephew relationships to remember. In short, it's a well-thought-out, meticulously designed story with strong female leads and romantic pairings. The male and female leads are 1v1. The third book focuses on a system where the protagonist, physically impaired in her past life, gains a sharp mind in this one, which is exchanged for weight (though the system appears less frequently later). The female lead is clear-headed and incredibly self-reliant, and there are many engaging plots. Overall, it's a very profound and outstanding story in the entertainment industry genre (though the beginning is a bit rough, it's definitely worth the wait, folks!). The fourth book, "Sheng An," is undoubtedly a post-apocalyptic story about national righteousness, with interconnected plots and well-developed characters. It has a romantic pairing, but the characters are just background figures; I think it's perfectly fine as a no-romance story. The fifth book, "Ming Yue Lang," is incredibly good—an ancient female-disguised-as-male imperial examination story with no flaws (disguising as a man involves a system, so there's no hardship involved). It's fantastic! I personally think books 1, 2, and 4 are absolutely flawless (unless you find the female-dominated setting in 2 annoying in female-oriented novels). Book 3 requires a bit of patience in the beginning, and book 5 is also a female-disguised-as-male story. Books 1, 3, and 5 are all no-romance stories. 5. The character Mingyue Lang is a woman disguised as a man, but there's a fake marriage. I don't think that's a problem because the other girl knows, and it's similar to the mutual healing between the two girls. If you can't accept that, you can see this. To clarify, Mingyue Lang is the best character I've ever read in a civil service exam novel.

    This is good. The female lead is an all-rounder. In order to avenge her brother, a narcotics officer, she undergoes plastic surgery and infiltrates the drug cartel as a hacker. In reality, she is a drug cartel assassin. Every time she does something, she frames the drug cartel, packages them up as undercover agents, watches them being tortured to death by their own people, and then sends them to the police.

    This one's alright, a modern fantasy novel with a wild premise. The male lead pretends to be weak to outsmart the female lead, is decisive and ruthless, and not only that, the beautiful women around him also look at him differently. It's cliché, but not stupid.

    To be able to spot all the foreshadowing, one's IQ must be over 120, right? The logic is rigorous, and the intelligence is on point. A suspenseful mystery with mind-bending crime-solving elements; the world of martial arts, the imperial court, and all walks of life—everyone has their own life goals. Some become pawns, then discarded; others are pawns, then become players.
