   Books 2, 3, and 6 all feature two male protagonists. The first is a romance, while the other two are without a romantic pairing. The first book requires a sharp mind and has excellent writing; the junior master is a master strategist. The second and third books are by the same author; one of the protagonists in the third book might act somewhat extreme, but both books are primarily comedic. In the fourth book, Xie Qing single-handedly corrupts everyone. In the fifth book, Chi Miao is the reincarnation of an immortal who is forbidden to exist, possessing unwavering will. The sixth book has many foreshadowing elements and is very well-written. [Admiration] (These recommendations for male protagonists are based on personal preference 😊)

    1. The female lead is incredibly gentle, but in poor health. She adores her younger sister, who is more important to her than anything else. 2. The female lead is incredibly powerful. The only slightly angsty part of the story is the beginning; the rest is incredibly enjoyable. It's not a reincarnation or transmigration story; it's the female lead herself. On the path of cultivation, she serves as a guiding light for the male lead. After he embarks on his cultivation journey, everyone who has witnessed his battles will think of her, realizing, "No wonder she possesses the qualities of an old friend; she is indeed a disciple of an old friend." 3. No romantic pairing; a comedic story. 4. None of the female lead's entire sect are human. At first, they thought she was just a dog, but later it turns out she's a gluttonous beast. 5. Although the female lead's surname is Ye, the story is truly captivating. I personally feel the male lead is the junior brother, or perhaps there isn't even a male lead. It's an ensemble piece; everyone in the Tianyi Sect is a good friend.

    Both books are excellent, with large and well-developed worlds and excellent main and subplots. The female protagonists are both selfless and compassionate, and each has a romantic partner, though their romantic relationships aren't extensive. The supporting characters are also well-developed and memorable. The second book features an ensemble cast. Both authors are outstanding; I've read several of their works and highly recommend them.
