    All of them are no-romance, including no-romance. If you don't want to read so many words, just read this part. If you're interested, you can take a look at what I've roughly said, or go directly to the first three chapters, Lone Wolf. Chapter 1 is about an alien invasion with cooperation. Chapter 3 is also about an invasion. Lone Wolf collapses later, but the author manages to tie it up. In Chapter 2, the author seems to be trying to write an ensemble piece about a team, but I personally feel it's more like Lone Wolf. If I remember correctly, Chapter 4 is set in a wasteland, and the female lead is the strongest. It doesn't seem like Lone Wolf, but I also feel it doesn't seem like an ensemble piece. Does the female lead seem like Lone Wolf with some kind of bond? Books 5, 6, and 7 are all ensemble pieces. Book 5 is about raft survival and rebirth; book 6 is about a magical world and time travel; and book 7 is about interstellar travel. This book gives a stronger sense of ensemble casts, with each character having their own area of ​​expertise. In the first book, the female protagonist is reborn back to Earth before the invasion. Thanks to the Earth's main god's efforts to prepare the inhabitants for a game, she returns to grind the game and grows stronger. The rebirth plot holes have now been filled, and so far, there are no plot holes that offend me. It's a lone wolf story, but there are collaborative elements. In the second book, the female protagonist was a psychologist in her previous life, but she died. She then transmigrates to a world without a psychologist game, where low moods turn people into "monsters." Because she died once, she cherishes this life immensely and suffers from a fear of insufficient firepower. Her logic is excellent, and the author's writing is very delicate, so the female protagonist's personality is gentle but not pushover. There are no plot holes that offend me either. Following the author's vision, there will be a team later on, so it will likely be an ensemble piece. However, from what I've seen so far, it still feels like the third book in the Lone Wolf series. The female protagonist, reborn after a game invasion, tries every means to sabotage the opportunities her brother, who harmed her in her past life, and has been constantly sabotaging her enemies. But there's a section later on that many people, including myself, dislike because of it. I'm still reading it though. They say the author changed the synopsis, so I'm unsure whether to categorize it as Lone Wolf or Team. The fourth book is about a female protagonist who transmigrates into a post-apocalyptic world as a zombie. Due to her special abilities, she's captured and taken to a lab, then transmigrates to a wasteland (reincarnation). She's unloved by her parents and sold back to the lab. After escaping, she's found by her current sister and raised well by her current family. The female protagonist is currently the strongest in the book, and she's not a saint. However, I feel the author wants to pair the female protagonist's sister with a man, which I find objectionable. I don't dislike the two individuals, but I dislike the pairing. Overall, is it more of a healing story? There's also the fifth book in the group series. The female protagonist is reborn. In her previous life, she lived at sea for too long without family by her side. In this life, she informs her country about the upcoming raft survival game, only to discover that in her previous life, they hadn't even started the most basic game. Now, they've entered the era of cultivation. The downside is that the beginning is somewhat weak, and the overall pacing is slow. This is the sixth book in the group series. The female protagonist is reborn into a magical era, losing her memories from before her rebirth. She activates the Versailles System, and is always stronger than her peers in all aspects. The downside is that the female protagonist sometimes... Versailles' approach is too obvious. In the early parts, Versailles' methods are rather simplistic, and there are too many names to remember. This book feels like the seventh in the ensemble series. The female protagonist is rescued by someone who, to protect those inside the bomb shelter, diverts danger from the outside and entrusts her with important documents to deliver to Dawn School. Touched by this, she meets a group of equally spirited young people and becomes their teammate, searching for previously buried truths. The ever-present companionship is there. There are no jarring moments; this is indeed an ensemble book.

    ① A micro-ensemble piece; the female lead is both mad and calm, calm yet mad. Weakness: Ongoing. ② The junior uncle needs no introduction; he's incredibly intelligent. The ending will explain foreshadowing from earlier chapters, so I won't elaborate. (When I recommended this book, I didn't even remember there was a male lead… so you know how weak his presence is… If you mind, you can ignore this book, but I highly recommend it!!!) ③ A very engaging female lead who likes to play dumb to outsmart others; it's subtly satisfying. ④ I like this book because each of the ghost stories is based on real historical events from various countries, some of which I didn't know, making it very impactful. ⑤ The beginning is about the typical real and fake heiresses, but the prison arc is the real showdown, a bit mind-bending.
