   I'm not sure if this counts, but it involves superpowers and an academy league segment. It feels like the author has given superpowers a new shell, but it seems quite fun. The female lead's team consists of four women and one man—well, I'm not sure if that counts. The male lead isn't on the team; is he supposed to be the female lead's teacher? Judging from the setting, the male lead seems to have just graduated. I might wait until it's more complete before reading. The author's writing style and pacing in the first few chapters felt average, but they seem to improve as the story progresses. The league segment was very enjoyable to read; it's like watching the author improve. So far, I quite like it.

    The author updates too slowly; I'm almost catching up! I can't get enough! It's a cultivation ensemble novel with well-developed characters, each vividly portrayed and distinct. The female lead's gradual increase in strength is satisfying; she doesn't rely on overly powerful cheat codes, and there are moments of exhilaration as well as hardships and setbacks. The world-building is vast and doesn't feel haphazard; the foreshadowing is resolved systematically, which is very satisfying. The author hasn't forgotten any plot holes or foreshadowing, showing great attention to detail, even noting the chapters in which early characters appear. The content is unconventional, focusing on the daily life of cultivation, and the characters are well-developed, conveying the deep bonds between the female lead and her fellow disciples and friends. In summary: If you're tired of fast-paced, formulaic cultivation novels with the typical "one year to Foundation Establishment, two years to Golden Core" formula, this is a good choice. Those who enjoy ensemble casts should also give it a try. The excellent character development is a major plus; the characters are well-organized, each with a distinct personality, making many supporting characters memorable. The female lead's cultivation skills are solid; she doesn't rely on overly powerful cheat codes or absurd overpowered protagonists, making for a pleasant and enjoyable read. Additionally: The author really cares about the characters in this book and writes seriously. The characters are all in character and not out of character. There are also many illustrations of supporting characters and main characters in the book (layered armor). The above is just my personal opinion, and there may be some details that I have not mentioned. I will reread this book once and twice after it is finished.
