[Admiration][Admiration][Admiration] I absolutely love the third one! The male lead is an actor bound to a character system, but all the roles he draws are villains. Even though he draws villains, he still has to be a law-abiding citizen, so he can only contribute to the police force's performance targets. After experiencing various events, our male lead grows into a movie star, making a group of all sorts of friends. If you like lighthearted and funny stories about actors in the entertainment industry without any romantic pairings, go for it!! [Admiration][Admiration] The fourth book is also good!

    Dear all my adoptive parents, please take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly fantastic! It's a ensemble piece about cultivation, high-octane and thrilling. After reading the second chapter, if you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, please take a look. I, Tianjiao, would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my adoptive parents. Content: As Liu Yu stretched out her hands, the void behind her trembled violently, and a nine-tailed fox phantom, tens of feet tall, suddenly appeared, radiating a terrifying, savage pressure. Then, Liu Yu clasped her hands together, and the nine-tailed fox phantom behind her simultaneously extended its front paws, slamming them together against the incoming death energy spear. Boom! The death energy spear shattered between the fox's claws, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which was easily dispersed by the nine-tailed fox phantom's gentle breath. Xu Feng laughed and clapped, "Impressive, impressive! As expected of a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator... Even more wonderful than I expected." He licked his lips, "Only prey like you is worth tasting." With that, he wiped the smile from his face and turned to the remaining ghost generals, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, the six ghost generals, except for Qian Yuan, transformed into six streaks of black mist and shot straight towards the cultivators except for Liu Yu and her group of nine. The next moment, desperate screams rose and fell as one cultivator after another was grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground by the ghost generals. Their blood and yang energy were rapidly drained from their bodies by the ghosts, their bodies quickly withering away until they became empty-eyed, gaping corpses, carelessly tossed into pools of blood. The remaining surviving cultivators, driven mad by the prospect of death, launched a fierce attack on the ghost generals. In an instant, all sorts of hidden supernatural powers and magical treasures were revealed, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made this already ruined place even worse. The earth was torn open with bottomless ravines, and rubble, severed limbs, and fragments of magical treasures were mixed together and turned into dust in the violent energy turbulence.

    The title of the first book appears around chapter 200. The second, "The Fourth Calamity," isn't too catastrophic at first and is slow-paced, but it's definitely worth reading later! The third is a historical novel, neither overly praising nor criticizing the dynasties, quite interesting. I'm not sure if the fourth book counts as an ensemble piece, but I still included it because it's good. The fifth book has a lot of angst, so proceed with caution. The sixth book is amazing! It's an auto-chess type book, I really haven't found another like it, a bit slow-paced but everyone is intelligent, and there's no infighting among the humans! The seventh book has 12 main characters (I think), I'll include a simple summary of the book's slang in the comments.

    This novel, whose title doesn't do it justice, initially seemed like a pure ensemble piece, but it turns out to be more like a story where each member of the main cast has their own growth trajectory, yet they all rely on each other for survival. The main characters aren't the pampered type either. In my opinion, it's a good ensemble piece, and I recommend it.
