1. Cheng Ya's book, the female lead is Xie Qing. While other novels feature the current female lead and the original female lead still fighting to the death, the original female lead in this book has already become a fangirl of Xie Qing 🌚 Super interesting! 2. By the same author as the first book, the female lead is Ning Wei. In her previous life, she was called Ning Qing and was also the number one sword cultivator in the cultivation world. Because of her talent, she was given special attention by her sect from a young age, with the hope that she would ascend to immortality soon. The endless cultivation left her feeling lost and caused her to miss out on many people [crying]. Her eldest brother died in a great battle, and when her third sister arrived, she only saw his cold body, regretting that she had come too late. The female lead herself died after ascending to immortality, and her youngest brother fell into the demonic path to revive her, sparing no effort to do so. The most heartbreaking thing was the eldest brother, such a gentle person [crying][crying]. In the end, the youngest brother revived his second senior sister, Ning Qingye, who was also Ning Wei. But Ning Wei was Ning Wei, and Ning Qingye was Ning Qingye. Ning Wei was not anyone else; she was herself [crying][crying]. Ning Wei defeated Ning Qingye and let go of the past. Her third sister and youngest brother also let go of the past [crying][crying]. 3. The female lead, Qin Zhi, is the senior disciple of a sect. Her lineage originally had seven members, but only the junior sister remains. Five died in battle, and the female lead ascended to immortality, becoming a machine devoid of emotion.

[Crying] Summary: All are completed, so you can read them without worrying about updates being interrupted. The first two books are more lighthearted and humorous, with not too much angst. The third book is also relatively lighthearted in the beginning, but later—I don't know about the later part 🌚 but from the reviews, I think there will be quite a lot of angst later on. [Crying]

I recently read two pretty good ones. Both feature female protagonists who transmigrate into strange novels, but the plots don't follow the expected narrative. The first one is more comedic; the female protagonist gains a "corny pickup line system" and needs to recite a lot of cheesy pickup lines to level up. The supporting characters are all nice, and the female protagonist herself is quite powerful—a light and enjoyable read. The second one is a more conventional "strong female lead, leveling up" story. The female protagonist transmigrates into a tragic novel and gains a "charming woman system," but she basically uses all the rewards from the system—charming woman items, love-at-first-sight pills, etc.—Onto her donkey, focusing intently on cultivating herself.

I rarely see this book recommended on online communities, so here's a brief summary of its highlights: a blend of post-apocalyptic setting and classical Daoist cultivation, the concept is novel yet seamless. The male protagonist doesn't have any cheat codes; every breakthrough requires him to undergo life-or-death trials, and the repeated damage and transformation of his left arm is heart-wrenching. The main plot goes beyond just leveling up and defeating monsters; it also explores the transmission of civilization, with a powerful storyline of leading survivors to escape their desperate situation and rebuild their lives. There are no melodramatic romance plots; the relationship between the boy and girl is one of pure goodwill and mutual support in dire circumstances, making it worth reading.
