    Books 1, 9, and 8 are really super good. The female lead is focused on her career, has no romantic partner, and isn't a saint at all. Book 2 has a romantic partner, but it mainly focuses on the female lead's entrepreneurship. Book 3 is a female-to-male transmigration story, but the male lead is very refreshing. I like both the male and female leads' personalities. Book 4 is different from typical bullying stories; the female lead enjoys what she doesn't have, and even when she does, she enjoys it. [Heart emoji] Book 5, so far, is about making money with her family without a romantic partner. Books 6 and 10 have male and female leads who are very good to each other (although book 10 is a bit like a robot romance, but it's really good, which may be related to the male and female leads' backgrounds). Book 11 is an ensemble piece; the female lead's family is very kind, warm, and reassuring. Book 12 is a pure super-rich story; it's very exciting (but too short).

    This book is good with few truly awful characters. The original female leads are mostly good people, the female lead doesn't suffer mistreatment, and her family is harmonious with interesting personalities. It's rare to find a truly awful character, except for one guy who was a chatterbox at the beginning and became well-behaved after being slapped by the female lead.
