   I recently found this book, and so far it's all good. The female lead is a true powerhouse who reincarnates and remains a powerhouse without any saintly tendencies. She's not part of a team, but because of her obsession, she takes in subordinates (like pets). Overall, it's a great read! The characters are intelligent and there are no moments of them becoming idiotic. The author's writing style also carries off the grand setting.

    The first book's author's excessive pursuit of realistic gameplay resulted in polarized ratings. Overall, it's very enjoyable, doesn't lower the reader's intelligence, has satisfying combat, no female lead, no ambiguous relationships, plenty of foreshadowing, a boon for logic lovers, and the author even listened to advice. The rest are also good survival novels.
