    You could check this out. It's a traditional fantasy novel with a single female lead, and she has a lot of screen time. The world-building is vast, there's no system, and the plot is quite novel.

    These are some of my favorite villain novels 🔥 ①Have you ever heard of the scheming, manipulative villain? A very novel subversion of tropes, previously rated 9.4, Three times in the palace—you'll understand once you open the first chapter. ②Qin Laoliu, I absolutely love him, it's so satisfying, but I didn't finish it because it was too exciting to sleep. ③Not a traditional villain novel, quite novel. ④⑤I saw these on Tomato, very classic.

    This is a true villain novel! The protagonist is invincible, selfish, and can exploit anything. He has an unparalleled mind. This is a pure villain story, not child's play or a mindless, overpowered protagonist novel disguised as a villain.
