    After some thought, I finally chose these three books to define "gentle yet aloof": ① "Animal taxidermy x Funeral worker" ② "Light suspense, Deer Spirit Feng Shui Shop." The female lead fits the "gentle yet aloof" description perfectly, although the suspense is a bit exaggerated. ③ "Slice-of-life/Slow burn/Entire group coming-of-age story + Top IP creator: A clear-headed female lead x A goofy, domestic, domineering male lead."

The protagonist can be male, female, or an animal. There is no fixed CP. Men don’t occupy her heart, but she’s rarely been without one nearby. The story is still ongoing, so a low rating is normal.
