   Reader note

   I've been reading novels for six or seven years now, and these are some of my recent or past favorites. They cover a variety of genres: 1. A kind of supernatural tale with rules, unlike anything else; there are also stories about national destiny and battlefields, and ensemble pieces. The four female characters are all incredibly smart and adorable, and the author's logic is superb. A second reading reveals tons of foreshadowing! The titles also indicate they're about idols, so they're definitely not wishy-washy. After all, fans take everything seriously, and if the story falls apart, you're doomed. The content is also fantastic. The original text from the witch's storyline reads: "We die because of... Fear... War... Is not caused by us... Life is born from our crotch... We are not... Domesticated lambs... We will not go to hell in the judgment of others... We are... Unburnt... Witches..." I won't say much more, it's super good. 2. This theme is particularly novel, with interstellar, cultivation, and ensemble elements (and those little secret realms actually have a bit of an infinite flow dungeon feel, which is quite good). Although the title contains the story of the real and fake heiresses, this plot is relatively short and resolved very quickly, so don't worry too much about it. The female lead is incredibly talented, being a sword cultivator, an array cultivator, and a weapon cultivator all at once. Here's a quote from the original text: "If you don't pass the array cultivator exam, you're not an array cultivator... Exam-oriented education, you win..." It's quite fun. It includes the college entrance exam, and there are rules and hidden rules. Actually, it feels a bit like playing an escape room game. We've only just entered the main storyline, and it's only up to the point after the college entrance exam. If you're interested, go check out the synopsis yourself. Anyway, I highly recommend it. 3. This one is good. There's no romance in the main story. The main story is already finished, and the author is currently updating the side stories. In the main story, just watch Qingci focus on her career. Power is the best medicine, which is very charming. Don't miss it if you like dog-training literature. Those who like cold-faced cuteness are also in luck. Our Qingci is just so cute! 4. I read this a long time ago. It's good. The female lead is highly intelligent. I recommend it. (I've forgotten a bit, but it's good.) 5. This one is also good. The prison arc is very exciting. I recently reread it. The name "True or False Heiress" isn't really important. Shen Yue is super cute... The name and synopsis strongly contradict each other. The content is really, really good. 6. It's a palace intrigue story, so I won't introduce it. It's good. 7. This setting is very interesting. It's about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The character portrayals don't feel out of character at all. 8. It's good. Being the Crown Princess sounds amazing, right? 9. The authority of this one goes without saying. (Typing is so tiring. The rest are all kinds of genres: romance, dual male leads, imperial examination, academic genius, road trip survival... I really can't type anymore, but they're all good anyway.)

   I've reread the first and second books multiple times. The female lead in the first book is incredibly clear-headed and strong, and the cases are very interesting.

   Reader note

   The first book is a pseudo-gay-to-straightening story; some of the comments were annoying. Although there's a system, the female lead is also very capable and intelligent. The second book also features a smart female lead, especially in the novel she writes—it feels like a book within a book, like you're reading a novel within a novel. It gave me goosebumps while reading. The third book has many funny moments, but also some tearful ones, and it's quite good. Neither the first nor the third book has a romantic pairing. If you can get into it, then read it; if not, don't force yourself! These are all novels I found enjoyable. Please don't criticize if you disagree.

The first one, in particular, has been adapted into many short dramas. They are incredibly stress-relieving and entertaining. This is almost the least depressing book I've ever read by Tomato. If you're feeling down, you can read this. It's definitely worth it, sisters.

    The first two are both quick transmigration novels where the male protagonist transmigrates into the body of a scumbag; both are super good and highly recommended. The second and third books are by the same author, and the male protagonist collects skills during his quick transmigrations, all of which he learns himself. Highly recommended!

    I've never seen an author with more tricks than this one. I won't recommend the other three books by this author because they have my own issues with them. Even with those issues, you can't really criticize the female lead's intelligence, especially the KPI one—it's incomprehensible after just one read. It's not just interconnected, it's a series of interconnected loops! The book I'm recommending below has no issues and is extremely clever.

    I've listened to and finished the first two books by the same author, both of which are completed works. The author focuses on logic, the male lead is incredibly intelligent, and the supporting characters aren't lacking in intelligence either. The author's "Legend" was a phenomenal success, and "Ten Days" not only continues the mind-bending style but also reaches new heights 😁😁😁 The third book is a post-apocalyptic story, the female lead is a government official, a great perspective, and she's also highly intelligent, not a zombie. Highly recommended 😍😍😍 The fourth book is by Zijin Chen; his name is his trademark 🥰🥰🥰 The last three are personal additions; please ignore them if you mind. I'm shamelessly recommending myself—I want to create a cultivation world (leaning towards traditional elements) 😊😊😊
