After the Apocalypse, I Killed Half the People! 末世后，我杀了一半的人！
The female lead is cold and decisive, fighting monsters and leveling up all the way. She doesn’t team up and there’s no male lead. It’s a thoroughly satisfying power fantasy with no dull moments: she never puts up with mistreatment or takes a loss. If someone rubs her the wrong way, she beats them up on the spot!

Neither Black nor White? A Quack Doctor Twice Over 亦黑亦白？双料庸医
I'm a clinic owner. One act of justice made me enemies with the underworld, and from then on I began walking a path where I could operate in both the criminal and legitimate worlds. The world isn't simply black or white. It's both black and white. This isn't exactly a power fantasy. There are gangs, passion, and humor, as well as brotherhood between men who support one another and rise to the top together.

Ultraman: Humanity Betrayed Me? I Choose Darkness Instead 奥特:人类背叛？我反手选择黑暗

They don’t read the book, but they always have to follow the latest trend. The saddest ones are those who once spent dozens, even over a hundred hours reading it, only to come back and give it one star.
