    I highly recommend this infinite flow novel! It's truly amazing. The female lead isn't a saint, the main characters are all intelligent, and the villains aren't artificially made less intelligent just to support them. The female lead is powerful and has a strong background; she doesn't hide her strength, beauty, or family history from the start. Her family is incredibly prestigious—she's the youngest daughter of a reclusive family, and everyone loves her. It's a truly satisfying read. The novel's setting is also very novel; I've never seen this kind of theme before. The main point is that the female lead navigates through dungeons by reconstructing details and then holding trials within those dungeons to punish the most heinous NPCs. These NPCs include abusive men and doctors conducting human experiments. Every time the female lead shouts, "The truth is complete! In my name, the court is in session!" It's incredibly satisfying. Seeing the guilty receive their due punishment is especially gratifying. I highly recommend this infinite flow novel! [Heart emoji][kiss emoji]
