   I recommend three books. I spent a total of 69 hours reading them, mainly the first one. The first one is a Western fantasy ensemble piece, with very detailed descriptions of almost all the characters, whether protagonists, supporting characters, or villains. The emotional descriptions are incredibly strong, and the plot is constantly full of twists and turns and build-up. Having read for ten years, this is my absolute favorite, bar none, and I'm definitely rereading it. The second one is a futuristic interstellar insectoid story, and the third is a semi-apocalyptic Japanese novel by the same author. It features a small-scale ensemble piece with five-person teams, all of whom are incredibly powerful. There's no romance, it's told from the female protagonist's perspective, and the story is generally 2/3 male-female. The plot is good and very exciting!

   The first book features a romantic pairing, a group portrait of nine characters, and mutual growth. It's quite realistic; there's never truly a peaceful world, it's just that someone is bearing the burden for us. But for those who shoulder heavy responsibilities, everything should just take its natural course. Love, for them, doesn't need to be spoken. The second book doesn't feature a romantic pairing, but instead features a group portrait of eight characters, mutual redemption, and a spirit of facing the sun. Ultimately, we will all become better versions of ourselves.
