   This isn't a wish-fulfillment fantasy, nor is it a fantasy novel about an invincible protagonist; it's the kind of fantasy novel I love, and this book perfectly matches my taste. For a book I enjoyed reading when I was ten and still finds excellent today, it's truly remarkable. Besides Su Xiao and Su Ming, this is the only other book on my bookshelf that I can accept, so I highly recommend it!!!

   I recommend these books! One is a collection of supernatural tales, two are infinite flow novels, and one is a horror game. The first one features a small group of four main characters, later (not very late) a larger group of characters on Earth. Fans of ensemble stories should check it out! The plot is fast-paced, logical, and engaging. The second one should also be considered an ensemble story (it has a pairing/romance/fantasy setting). I personally think it's ensemble, with cooperation in each level. (Uh, if you're only looking for pure supernatural tales, I wouldn't recommend it). The third one is also an ensemble story (very obviously), with a guild aspect, no pairing, but the main character's aunties are rampant (some are for personal enjoyment, some are hard to judge). I don't recommend those with a preference for no pairings to read the fandom or comments (if you become a auntie after reading them, then disregard what I said. I don't like it). It has a relatively novel world view in the infinite flow genre? Judging from the content alone, it should be interesting, smooth, and worth recommending. The fourth book is a coming-of-age story (referring to a team gradually forming and growing), with some minor flaws, but the beginning is generally okay (I haven't finished it yet; I read halfway through and then stopped, but that doesn't affect the content, I just read Su Xiao's book instead 🤔). That's all. Other well-known books have already been recommended by others, so I won't mention them here.

The plot is well-structured, the details are meticulous, the characters are vivid, and it's a story of a strong female protagonist's growth combined with an ensemble cast. It's one of only two rule-based supernatural fiction novels I truly enjoy, and it's really fantastic. I love reading it!

   The ensemble cast consists entirely of female high school girls, each with a distinct personality. They attend classes during the day, play "Dungeon Fighter Online" (or similar games) at night, and later join a government agency. They also have to save the world at night, and after saving the world, they have to come back to do their homework. The author is quite witty and provides stable daily updates. All the main characters are female, and the dungeons are well-designed.
