    The first book initially leans towards revenge, somewhat following the typical "power fantasy" trope. You can see the author's writing wasn't particularly strong in the early stages, but it improved dramatically in the middle and later parts, moving beyond just revenge. In short, the world-building is fantastic, the characters are incredibly well-developed, and I'm telling you, I'm hooked! Every villain has their own charm, they're very three-dimensional, not just stupid villains who are evil for the sake of being evil. The plot is both lovable and hateful. Overall, it's a very good read, but if you don't have much patience, you might not be able to get through the first few hundred chapters. But please, please read it, it's seriously amazing!

    These two non-couple stories are incredibly good, especially the two female-centric, all-female team stories.

    The first book features a young female protagonist, and there's a subtle sense of death about it. The family members are all well-developed, and it's somewhat humorous. The second book is good; it's an infinite flow novel with teammates, not a lone wolf, and it's a bit abstract.

    These are no-romance, female-centric, power fantasy novels, so I won't go into details. Books 1 and 5 are my absolute favorites—the two most enjoyable and satisfying reads.

    No romance + strong female lead + apocalypse + supernatural devouring [send a heart] This isn't the kind of easy, all-out power fantasy; the pressure of survival is intense. The female lead is caught between humans and mutants, possessing mutant powers but not wanting to become a monster who only knows how to hunt. She has to deal with official surveillance and investigations while also being wary of other mutants, frequently forging evidence and manipulating timelines to protect herself. The character is well-developed and doesn't feel artificially unintelligent.

    All are non-CP (no romantic pairing), rare gems from Tomato Bookstore 🍅. Many are ongoing series. Except for the second-to-last male protagonist, the main characters are mostly female (some settings incorporate elements of succubus or genderlessness, such as the criminal law section; suitable for both male and female readers). Ratings range from 8.0 To 9.9, All very enjoyable. I also have pure yuri and MLP fanfics on my bookshelf; feel free to check them out if you're interested.
