   I think the first book is quite good, although the first few hundred chapters are a bit tedious, but the author's detailed descriptions are very well done. The protagonist of the second book is very decisive and ruthless; he'll fight at the drop of a hat. Both books are very good, both have a single female lead, and both female leads have very powerful backgrounds. Don't just look at the ratings when reading books; you have to read them yourself to know what you're getting to know.
