    The female protagonist, who failed to find a job in real life, wakes up in a neon cyberpunk world and must complete various suicidal tasks assigned by her sugar daddy in exchange for survival funds. Two insane big shots are constantly at odds, while the protagonist sits on the sidelines, watching the drama unfold and writing, avoiding romance, trying every possible way to escape her fate of being exploited by capital.

    It's a new book, but the setting and writing are quite good. The female lead is a heretical cultivator mixed in with the righteous sects; her true form is an insect. She's single-mindedly focused on great things and refuses to engage in romance. The characters that have appeared so far each have their own unique characteristics.

    The first book is absolutely no romance and no men get involved in the main characters. The second book has a female protagonist who rises from an ordinary person to achieve great things in a world full of superpowers. I don't remember the third book very well. The most shocking thing about the fourth book was that it featured the killing of all the male protagonists prepared by the so-called "system." The fifth book was also read several years ago, and I vaguely remember it being no romance. You can refer to these books for reference.
