    The first book is a genuine female-oriented novel, not a female-oriented angst novel. It has a couple, but the romance is minimal; it's a true female-centric story, not a angst novel disguised as a female-centric story. ... The second book I read a long time ago, it's definitely not a comedic female-oriented novel, but it's probably a formulaic one, maybe with a touch of old-fashioned romance. It's not as good as the first one, but it's still okay. ... The third book is about how life is like a gamble; if you're not afraid to lose, you've already won from the start! My (the female protagonist's) life couldn't get any worse. Just when I hit rock bottom, I discovered my phone had an unexpected function: Hello? Hello? Hello? Want to change my fate?
