The protagonist transmigrates into the body of the villain's mother, and the male lead and villain unite on the same side. Various teaching competitions and prize distributions pave the way for the villain's later ascension to the throne. The second book is about fortune telling. It's a fast-paced, imaginative story with well-reasoned elements.

   These books were pretty good. I liked the second one the most, mainly because it wasn't like other quick transmigration novels that relied on blatant face-slapping and villain-abusing. While there might be a little bit of that, the plot was reasonable and logical, and not too "crazy." The first book, with its old lady doing whatever she wanted, was quite satisfying. I didn't finish the third one, but I really loved the opening scene of the fourth one, the one with the villain.

    Currently, I'm mainly following these few, and they're mostly female-centric (excluding the second one, as it updates too infrequently and has too few characters to be easily identified). The first one, as the title suggests, features a female screenwriter who writes stories with dungeons where people actually die. The female lead isn't on the "good" side; she's more of a "chaotic" character. The second one is about the entertainment industry, a subconscious role-playing type of entertainment novel, mainly featuring a female protagonist. It includes forums, plays within plays, and all the other types I like, so I read it. The third one features a female lead who obtains a skill from a golden shovel that allows her to extract items. She's a businesswoman who only collaborates with the official organization and doesn't work for them. This might be a drawback for some, as the official organization sometimes yields to the female lead, but I find it quite enjoyable. This story is 90% female, maybe 99%, anyway, I don't quite remember which male characters appeared. Oh, there was one who was her brother. The fourth type is the "sky-screen" type, where the female protagonist reads novels and judges whether the novel's world has been elevated to a higher dimension. Characters from the novel observe her judgments, and the criteria include the protagonist's, antagonist's, and worldview. Currently, the protagonist is almost always female; there's one male protagonist, but it depicts a female being overthrown in this era—it's an interstellar genre. Oh yes, some might find this problematic, as some feel the female protagonist is portrayed as too superior, but she does indeed have an omniscient perspective, judging fictional characters. The fifth type is the interstellar mecha genre, where the female protagonist has a cheat ability—she can travel to a highly technologically advanced place to train. There, she's inhabited by different races, and she starts as the weakest but gradually rises in rank.

    Both books are romance-free and feature strong protagonists. The first book's strengths lie in its well-developed characters, ensemble cast, and complete character growth arcs. Its weaknesses include frequent long passages of text and a somewhat disorganized handling of both main and subplots. The second book also boasts excellent character development; while it has fewer characters, they are more memorable. The author's writing is excellent, but the update speed is slower. Both are highly recommended as they are romance-free and the protagonists are generally in a dominant role.

    The first book is an entertainment industry novel; you can tell from the title that it's a no-romance story. The protagonist is a manager. It's entertaining and intelligent. The second book is a tomb raiding fanfiction. It's also a no-romance story, featuring a strong female lead who doesn't fawn over the protagonist. The third book is a zombie novel. The protagonist is a zombie, and the main focus is on a hiking trip. The entire story is mostly about hiking. There aren't many fights or face-slapping scenes. The fourth book... Well, the female lead has no moral compass; she only wants to become stronger. So, it's best not to judge her by human standards. Overall, this book is very strong. Those who like female leads are lucky. The fifth book is a post-apocalyptic story, but the female lead is an outsider. She has a system and builds a commercial street. This one features a female lead, and there are no tragic elements; no one can hurt her, although there will be some provocations in the early stages. Overall, it's very enjoyable.
