   Reader note

   No romantic pairings. There seem to be one or two books with young children involved; you can check the synopsis. Some titles are really unappealing, and even with synopsis, they're still not very engaging. You can read them before deciding. "The Ending Is in My Hands" is highly recommended; I almost gave up on it because of the title. The five older brothers need to use their brains a bit. "The Charmer and the Beauty" is quite good; I like the male lead's perspective—it's really great!

    Reader note

    Most of these are female-centric stories with no romantic pairings. The female lead's character is well-developed. In my opinion: 1. It might be a multi-faceted story, with more female characters and a female-to-male ratio of about 9:1. The story focuses on revenge in the early stages and involvement in the game of gods later on. Both the protagonist and antagonist are well-developed and don't have one-dimensional characters, making them more realistic. This book isn't just a simple revenge story; both the author and the protagonist are growing. The bonds the protagonist builds become more complex as the story progresses, and the emotions are quite nuanced. From the moment they start searching for B8017913 in the garbage dump, the emotions gradually become richer and more nuanced, all the way up to when they meet Zhu Ri. The characters' charm increases throughout. The only downside is that this book is still ongoing, so I need to read it less often _(:з"∠)_ 2. The protagonist has an incredibly powerful cheat ability; it's a cultivation novel. The female lead is intelligent but not a saint. The original male and female leads are constantly suppressed by the protagonist, like experience packs, only providing opportunities for him. He can turn the original male lead's harem members against him, and he can suppress the original female lead's harem members. The author doesn't describe the female lead's appearance at all. The protagonist, after transmigrating into the book, is focused on cultivation, has principles, but is decisive and never gives the original male and female leads a chance to improve their cultivation. He's ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself. His system is a bit useless, but it experiences cultivation and grows alongside the female lead, becoming a deeply connected companion in the process. 3. It contains some reflections on feminism and power, making it an extremely famous feminist novel. I feel this book needs little introduction; the content is excellent, mostly focusing on female awakening. I hope more people will read it; it's truly a thoroughly female-centric novel. 4. This is the most satisfying female-oriented wish-fulfillment novel I've ever read. Very few characters actually criticize the female lead; those who do usually die before they can even finish their sentences. She embodies extreme egoism, a villainous female lead, the mastermind behind everything, and controls the entire situation. The most interesting aspect is her Pure Jade Body. The phrase "The truth will be forever buried, and the culprit will be enshrined on the altar" perfectly describes her, as only the purest and kindest person can possess it. Coupled with her intelligence, she uses various methods to kill others. Those who live will never doubt her, and those who do are all dead. This kind of book is rare. The protagonist is told from the villain's perspective, not a saint, but cunning yet maintaining a cool and kind facade. The author also seems to realize this is a female-oriented novel and should focus more on the female characters, providing relatively deep descriptions of the female characters on the female lead's side. Overall, it's a true female-oriented wish-fulfillment novel, bar none, much better than the typical female-oriented wish-fulfillment novels I've read where the protagonist pretends to be weak but ultimately becomes weak. 5. I'm currently reading this, around chapter 100. The female lead is highly intelligent, and her teammates have excellent teamwork. It's a rare story about a strong female team and national destiny. The female lead and her teammates are chosen by ghost stories and become an idol girl group in the ghost story world. The content is quite novel, and some of the ghost story scenes the female lead enters are a bit scary to me. It's still being updated continuously, but I think it's worth recommending. 6. It's very good, with very positive values. This is the kind of book that strong women should read. I highly recommend it; it's truly a female-centric novel that needs no further explanation. 7 Is a different kind of zombie novel. The female protagonist is neither a saint nor cold-blooded; she is a zombie with only humanity. It's a pure stroll story, focusing on the people and events encountered during her walks. There are no ruthless, escalating plots with a female protagonist; instead, there are only simple, warm and gentle short stories. The protagonist's mental state is beautiful. When she wants to sleep, she can just find a hotel and fall asleep immediately. When she encounters people during her travels, she skillfully lies on the ground and pretends to be dead. Occasionally, she even encounters a kind superhuman who digs a hole and buries her, allowing her to rest in peace. The protagonist sleeps peacefully in the ground before crawling out. The protagonist's mental state is like "the world is in chaos, but I'm sleeping," which is reassuringly carefree. Sometimes, when she encounters a few zombies who are curious about her and have already developed intelligence, the protagonist will tell these zombies who want to follow her not to kill people in front of her. Occasionally, the protagonist will secretly protect humans when they are in danger. It's a rare heartwarming story in a zombie novel. Additionally, I'd like to recommend two other novels without a romantic pairing, available on JinJi and QQ Reading respectively: "I Sweep Trash in the Wasteland" and "I Become the Lord of Gods in the Misty World." Both are female-centric novels with vast world-building, though the former is slightly larger. I personally prefer the former. It features a cyberpunk setting within the Great Firewall and a wasteland outside, with many stories of ordinary people that resonate with readers. The protagonist constantly suffers losses, making the plot quite pessimistic for me. Seeing favorite characters die made me reluctant to continue reading (◞‸◟). It's heartbreaking yet humorous, with a fresh and original theme. Highly recommended. The second novel features a protagonist who lives in a "prison" for most of the time before coming to the real world. The author spends a lot of time developing the protagonist, who is initially cold and aloof, but gradually develops a more human touch as the story progresses. The author also carefully portrays the supporting characters around the protagonist, making them all quite three-dimensional. The protagonist experiences a subtle sense of loneliness throughout the story, but he is very strong. "The right to play chess was earned through countless losses." The only downside is that the ending feels rushed and a bit narcissistic.

    Reader note

    I don't read romance novels with couples anymore, and even if they do, they can't be overly sweet or cloying. I avoid those with themes like fake heiresses, running away with a baby, stepmothers, concubines, multiple children, or typical tropes like sweet romance, angst, or anything like that. Lately, I've been enjoying male-oriented novels, and they're surprisingly good.
