The “fight fire with fire” arc isn't good either, and the “wading through the waters” arc isn't good either. The apocalypse arc is, well, so-so. Basically, just skip whatever you don't like.

    The third story in the first book (Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power) perfectly matches your requirements. The female protagonist works hard in her studies and bravely faces setbacks! It's quite touching (no male lead). The second book is very inspiring. The female protagonist is socially awkward, but with the help of a system, she challenges herself, constantly breaks through her limits, and becomes a top student! The third book is also very good. It also features a story of diligent study and self-improvement (this one has less romance).

    This is a classic example of a competitive, growth-driven story. The protagonist is transferred to the worst-performing store, and nobody takes him seriously. But he refuses to give up, keeping a worn-out notebook for five years, reviewing his performance daily and relentlessly working on it. He goes from losing orders to closing them, from a struggling sales clerk to a store manager. If you're looking for a growth story, this one is for you.

    Hahaha! I finished reading over 1600 chapters in less than a month! I'm so amazing! [Shy] This book is really good. It's the book with the fewest male protagonist scenes I've ever read. The most frequent character is the little black snake. When I got to over 1000 chapters, I felt like there probably wasn't a male protagonist at all. [Facepalm] I really, really love the plot of this book; it's very novel. At first, I thought the female protagonist transmigrated into the book, but it turns out she was sent to a world similar to modern times. She has no memories of her past life, and the book she reads is some kind of water that predicts the future. In that world, she's a top student, incredibly studious, and extremely stubborn. [Staring] Later, for some reason, she transmigrates back to her original world. In other books, the female protagonist needs the male protagonist's help when she's weak and hasn't grown up yet, but in this book, they help each other grow. The female protagonist is incredibly strong and incredibly stubborn. This is the most stubborn book I've ever read—the kind where she's stubborn to the extreme. The female protagonist single-handedly motivates everyone in the book to be stubborn too. [Facepalm] This book is really good. If you like this kind of book, you should check it out! Highly recommended! [Flying kiss]

    The story is set in a typical school environment. The protagonist genuinely studies diligently, is highly motivated and ambitious, and is incredibly self-disciplined, becoming a heartthrob. It's the kind of story that makes you want to study harder. Later on, he participates in competitions. It's not melodramatic or ridiculous; it's relatable, with genuine and relatable emotions, leaving you wanting more.
