    The first book is a purely supportive story, no female lead, words become law (only applied to people or things they like), very enjoyable, also features a succubus and a savior. The second book features a cute kitten as the protagonist, very strong and adorable. Also enjoyable. The third book is an ultimate, invincible, satisfying story. Everyone except colleagues is killed (though not necessarily), no female lead, the protagonist is exceptionally strong. The fourth book features a random passerby, a comic forum, a system, everyone is a villain (including the system), Brother Lu is a succubus, very enjoyable, high IQ, high EQ, everyone is a source of amusement. The fifth book features a protagonist with gamification abilities, also very enjoyable. The sixth book features a savior, a cute little crow, also a comic forum, with a system, but this system is essentially a mother figure. The protagonist is quite strong. The seventh book features a protagonist with healing abilities, enjoyable, set in an academy, a comic forum. The eighth and ninth books are also comics, the bonds between the protagonist and the main group are also very enjoyable. The tenth book is similar to an infinite flow story? The protagonist is a long-haired beauty. Enjoyable. High IQ, strong abilities. Cunning and a good actor. The eleventh book is a livestreamer novel, very enjoyable, and the older brothers and sisters are great to ship. The twelfth book is a beast-taming novel; the protagonist is a girl, but it's also a satisfying read. And this is the only completed novel I recommend. The thirteenth and fourteenth need no introduction; just look at the ratings. These two are quite famous, and both of the ones I recommended not only lack female leads but also have no romantic pairings.
