    Reader note

    The first book: The writing is quite good, it reads smoothly with no major flaws, and it seems there's no romantic pairing. The second book: The female lead has very positive values, making for a comfortable read, and the character design is also good. The third book: The female lead has high emotional intelligence and is very articulate; if you can accept the forced stupidity of the supporting characters, it's still readable. The fourth book: I would call this the best writing style by Tomato (a famous Chinese writer); the writing is beautiful and evocative. The fifth book: It's quite funny; beginners should like it. The female lead is very quirky, and the premise is good, but the female lead's character design isn't great. There's also "Lin Qinghe's Self-Cultivation," which is actually quite good, but I felt the female lead's character development was overdone, leading to an imbalance in the female lead's feelings for the male lead, so I didn't read it. After she gets together with the male lead and goes to university, it becomes less interesting. These books are almost all very good in the beginning but become boring later on. If you're not going to read the whole thing, these are okay for casual reading to kill time.
