   Both are female-centric, wish-fulfillment novels without a romantic pairing. The second one, in particular, features a heroine with a cheat-like advantage, but only 50 life points. She's like a Lin Daiyu in the horror genre—not a saintly figure and has no romantic pairing.

   [This review contains spoilers, proceed with caution] I found this book to be excellent. Each story is remarkable, with almost no wasted words, a wealth of information, and foreshadowing throughout. I disagree with those who say only the first few stories are exciting, while the later ones are bland and the protagonist doesn't show much growth. I think the opposite is true. If the protagonist hadn't grown, she would have died long ago in the Princess and the Pea arc. The beginning stories are mostly hand-to-hand combat, with simple and clear rules, resulting in more physical enjoyment. This is precisely because it's a beginner's arc. In the Fairy Tale Hospital and subsequent arcs, the difficulty increases significantly, with almost no rules provided, requiring players to discover them on their own. In this sense, the arcs pushing players forward is understandable, and there's no other way for players to discover the rules themselves. The first part of Alice in Wonderland has almost no hints, just repetition, with the fairy tale encyclopedia constantly upgrading to help the protagonist, and then she discovers the errors herself—I think that's her strength. I won't say more about the later parts to avoid spoilers. In short, I believe the protagonist's mind, strategy, and physical abilities all grow comprehensively. This story contains no obscene language, no clichéd tropes, and many neutral terms. It's worth reading and rereading. Looking forward to the day it's finished!

   It's a pretty good read. I stayed up all night reading up to the Mermaid arc. Overall, it's quite good with no major flaws. Most importantly, it allows for group activities within the story and solo adventures outside of it. I personally don't like stories with multiple characters; I prefer the female lead to shine brightly in the main plot. Other characters' stories can have small parts, but definitely not a lot. So far, this book is appealing to me and worth following. 💕

   1. I won't comment on the author's skill level for the first book, *The Coffin*, but it was truly amazing; it grabbed my attention from the very beginning. 2. The second book seems to be by a new author and is quite good. The last four books are all without romance; the female protagonists are decisive and logical, and reading them leaves you feeling completely refreshed.

   Reader note

   All three books are non-romanceable, but the third one, told from a first-person perspective, is quite good. The first one is highly recommended; it's exceptionally good, with a fascinating setting and plot, a well-structured and logically coherent narrative. The second one is somewhat "so-so" compared to the first. For me, this book has many foreshadowing elements, a complex world-building, and a unique plot. It features a cyclical protagonist who is an ordinary person without talent, cheat codes, or a system. The third one, told from a first-person perspective, creates an immersive experience, is quite terrifying, and has a very imaginative plot. Although the writing style is somewhat immature, the dungeons and plot are truly excellent.

   Please, please finish writing all the fairy tales! If that's not possible, there's also Ali Baba, the Forty Thieves, and fables. The author writes so well; I've already fallen in love with the female lead. I feel like she's a real, flesh-and-blood person.

    The first and last books, "Rules of the Strange," are both without romance and I personally think they're amazing! The second book is probably one of the top horror books on Tomato! No romance. The third book has no main character with a romantic partner, but there are a few side couples. I'm running out of words... Also, what does it mean to be both a female-oriented book and without romance?
