    The first two books are by the same author. The second book has a female lead, but she's also a teammate, and there's basically no romantic subplot. Before it was explicitly stated that she was the female lead, I always thought she was just a teammate, haha. In the first book, the "female lead" is someone the protagonist created using his abilities to complete his plan; I wonder if there will be any plot twists later. She also doesn't have much screen time, serving as the male lead's emotional support. The third book has a female lead, but the romantic subplot is minimal. It mainly focuses on the awakened beings in that world, an ensemble piece. Worth reading.

The protagonist is Lin Du, a female protagonist who is both clear-headed and genuinely crazy, a young and strong woman. Everyone in the Supreme Sect shines. ② A female protagonist who is a genius sword cultivator, no couple, ensemble cast. As the senior sister of the sect, Qin Zhi has a group of junior brothers and sisters who are fiercely protective of her. Qin Zhi: You can insult your junior brothers and sisters, but not me. You can trick your master and grandmaster, but not me. Anyone who touches my sword heart will have their head chopped off to prove my Dao heart. ③ A short ensemble cast novel with plot twists and a touch of humor. Nie Baili, who is unable to win or lose, gives up, but somehow becomes richer the more she gives up. ④ This is a slightly silly, hot-blooded ensemble cast novel that includes rebirth, mind reading, and being pampered by her group. There is no couple, and everyone defies fate and breaks free from destiny. ⑤ A hot-blooded ensemble cast novel without a couple. The main characters have a slightly eccentric personality. "Human effort is key; if Heaven doesn't intervene, all beings must be saved." Xie Qing looked up at the sky, calm yet resolute. ⑥ Since Ye Qiao arrived, the entire sect has been in chaos, with everyone acting in unison.

    Reader note

    All of them are incredibly good! The first one is similar to a single-female-lead story where the female lead levels up very quickly and is completely omnipotent throughout. It's set in an academic world. The second one has a protagonist awakening, and while the title is a bit corny, it's really good. I was on the edge of my seat several times because the protagonist was very clever and avoided everything. Everyone in the protagonist's group is reliable and doesn't hold you back. They're lively and fun when it's time to be carefree, but they're all dependable when it's time to be vigilant. The third one is highly recommended by many people, so I won't say much more. It's super good. The fourth one has two male leads, but there's not much romance. Everyone is manipulated by Mr. 39. I really have to praise this author; the writing is excellent.

    Don't just focus on the female lead! The ensemble cast is the real bombshell! The sickly commander Xu Lingqu leads a "crippled squad" that's practically invincible, but each member is a treasure: the sister-obsessed younger sister is a mecha repair genius, capable of manually remanufacturing scrap parts; the sharpshooter teammate seems cold, but will bravely withstand artillery fire to protect her comrades; even the sarcastic medic possesses a family-inherited potion formula, capable of saving lives in critical moments. The most amazing thing is the team chemistry! During the entrance exam, the female lead devises tactics, and her teammates execute them precisely, turning a seemingly hopeless situation into a textbook comeback; when fighting the alien horde, some cover the rear, some lead the attack, and some provide backup—there are no unhelpful teammates, only a tacit understanding of mutual support in the face of death. The arrogant genius Shen Shouli, initially looking down on the female lead, is eventually won over by her tactics and willingly becomes her second-in-command; even her former rivals who mocked her become her devoted supporters. There's no female rivalry, no internal strife, just the passionate blood of fighting side-by-side to protect the galaxy! The ensemble cast is so vivid, it feels like people you know, and each character has their own growth arc. If you're looking for something to read, this is a must-read! Not only are you captivated by the female lead, but also by this amazing group of teammates!

    Reader note

    These books all have romance elements, but they're quite few. The first one is my top pick; it's both funny and touching, and the writing is exceptionally good. "Thus, a boat appeared on the desperate ferry, and spring returned to the withered tree." "Frost and snow covered the forest, yet spring's beauty was late." "That night, the crescent moon hung high." "I am Lin Du, the ninety-ninth generation direct disciple of the Supreme Sect, the number one talent on the Azure Cloud Ranking. Are you looking for me?" "Destiny has commanded me to save people from fire and water. If you don't pity me, then find someone else." The master-disciple relationship is incredibly strong. "Because now, I've got your back." "What's your name?" "Lin Du." "Which Du?" "Saving others starts with saving yourself." The female lead, Lin Du, is incredibly powerful, and there are six of them. Those who dislike the system shouldn't rush to read on; it's a huge foreshadowing. The second book is still ongoing; you can ship whoever you want right now. It mainly focuses on the friendship of the six main characters, and the writing is also exceptionally good. "The warm yellow halo dyed the entire sky, slowly turning fiery red, and then hooking onto a few strands of grayish pink," you can quote this into your essay. Everyone in this story has their own story, and it's incredibly passionate: "The time has come. Our celebration—it's time to begin!" "They are above the gods!" "Homage to the divine beings!" "Homage to us!" The third book has a strong sense of national pride and patriotism; the writing isn't as good as the previous ones, but it's still decent: "Homage to tomorrow, homage to the future." "Tonight there are no clouds, a full moon hangs high, the dark night illuminates the world." The female lead is incredibly patriotic—Sheng An—whose name means "May this prosperous age bring peace and prosperity to the nation." The story also includes touching moments between the female lead and her best friend: "My name is Sheng An, Sheng as in prosperous age, An as in peace and prosperity to the nation." "My name is Qiu Yu, Qiu as in a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, Yu as in favorable weather." "May this prosperous age bring peace and prosperity to the nation, a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, and favorable weather to the nation." There are also many foreshadowing elements. And many heartbreaking moments.
