    These are all super good. The third one has a female lead who's a bit crazy and incredibly strong. The fourth one is about a mysterious character who later escapes and becomes a player.

    (Since Tomato can't answer directly right now, I just picked a random book. The text isn't available on Tomato, but I can send it to anyone interested!!) (Mainly infinite flow) 1. *The Character Can't Collapse* (The rules are hidden and the female lead has to discover them herself). A growth-oriented story with a strong female lead. The female lead's ability is that she can gain energy by lying and having others believe her. She can do anything with that energy. The male lead doesn't appear until after chapter 200; he's basically a prop for the female lead. 2. *Starting from Board Games* Ah, I absolutely love this one! The female lead is an intelligence-based character!!! She solves puzzles!! But she's also decisive and not a saint, very protective of her own. She directly breaks the rules and enters a punishment instance when faced with a scumbag who betrayed her teammates! The female lead is super strong, I love the punishment instances the most!! Hahaha. 3. *I Can See the Correct Rules* (Only this one is a true rule-based ghost story; the others are more like infinite flow). The female lead has a cheat code, but she's not exactly invincible? 4. *The First Ghost Story: Demolition Office* Great!! The female lead has a book, and the 2nd and 3rd instances are particularly exciting (Butterfly Mansion and Fallen Girl?). (Slight spoiler: one is about a butterfly in a spy movie, and the other is related to space.) 5. "Absurd Theater" is discontinued, but the beginning was pretty good. The female lead is brave and resourceful. 6. "She's Always Good at Courting Death" is actually a story about a powerful character using an alternate account. 7. "Spiral Lighthouse" is also a bit of an intelligence-based story. The fairy tale book instance, the hotel instance, and the ending instance are all quite good. (Spoiler: also an alternate account; the female lead thinks the strongest enemy is actually herself www.) 8. "Infinite Train" is quite enjoyable, especially the part where the rankings are announced. 9. "Becoming the Most Stunning Person in the Entire Instance" is a live stream + verbal battle story. The female lead is extremely meticulous. At first, you think she's weak, but the next second she knocks out and brainwashes the boss. 10. (Second book on my bookshelf, not exactly a rule-based supernatural tale, nor a female lead story, but I quite like it.) ... (Too lazy to check my bookshelf, feel free to ask if you're interested.)

    1.2 Strong female lead; 1. Each dungeon is breathtaking, and the starting point of the dungeons is not a vague otherworld, but is related to major events in the world, such as medieval witches and horrific poison gas experiments. 2. There is a family, which adds a touch of warmth, but the dungeon quality is excellent. 3. There is a romantic pairing, but the main storyline revolves around the female lead, with ensemble scenes in the later stages, novel settings, a grand world view, and the main plot is deeply buried and will eventually connect one by one.

    The first two female protagonists are both mentally ill. The first book is about national survival, featuring contestants from different countries and heartwarming stories between them and their nations—an ensemble piece. The second story involves the female protagonist being pulled into a dungeon (live-streamed), receiving a huge reward from a mysterious person. After the dungeon ends, this mysterious person finds her… The third story is a Chinese-style horror dungeon. The female protagonist is no ordinary person; her reasoning is meticulous, and she—doesn't handle pressure!

    🌠1. Infinite Flow + Rule-Based Ghost Stories + Strong Female Team. Every member of the female protagonist's team is intelligent, supports and relies on each other, and the government provides timely assistance. The logic is strong, and the plot twists are novel. On the surface, the book is about being an idol in a supernatural world, but it actually depicts social injustice and the dark, corrupt side of society. It follows the protagonist team as they seek justice for those who died unjustly or were oppressed to death. The protagonist team uses their limited power to save the supernatural beings in this strange world. Although not every instance successfully consoles the unjustly deceased, it is still quite moving.
