    Some of them don't cultivate the ruthless path. The first book is quite good, with several companions fighting side-by-side, and the female lead is the group's darling. The second book's female lead has some issues with her spiritual root, but she has a system. The third book's female lead is quite silly. The fourth book's female lead is also a bit silly, but very strong. The fifth book's female lead is a zither player; I felt the first part was okay.
