   All four are male-oriented novels. The first one is on hiatus, while the others are still updating. I think the first one is quite good, featuring multiple female leads: Girls' Generation's Yoon Tae-seo, Krystal, Rabbit's Mina, Tzuyu, and IU. The protagonist already has a similar character to Zhong Li, and the "Teyvat's Number One Wrench" is replaced by the "Peninsula's Number One Succubus" character. While there's a slight out-of-character moment, it's not significant. I'll have to wait for updates to resume. The second one features a self-media blogger as the protagonist, with a single female lead, Minnie. The author also has another single-female lead novel by Song Yuqi, and both protagonists are named Lin Hao. The third one features a single female lead, Krystal, and the protagonist is a wealthy Korean detective. It seems like a pure romance and worth checking out. The last one is by a newbie to K-pop. The peninsula is invaded by tokusatsu (special effects) films, and the protagonist possesses the powers of Kamen Rider and Armor Hero tokusatsu heroes. It might have no female lead or multiple female leads; I don't know.
