    Reader note

    Both books feature a female protagonist who grows through growth, with no romantic pairings or female rivalry, focusing on solo adventures. They follow traditional cultivation stories, progressing step by step without any overpowered abilities. If you enjoy this type of story, you absolutely must read them; they're incredibly good. Both books have their own unique characteristics and are exceptionally enjoyable, especially the second one, which gets increasingly tense and exciting as you read. However, since both are relatively new books, updates are infrequent. I don't recommend waiting for them to die out; good books like these, with few readers, could easily become unpopular.
