   An ensemble cast, a small team, no romantic pairings. The world is set before a solar explosion, when the entire Earth is transported to the time before the explosion and creates an artificial sun. Many disasters rage in the world. The team consists of six people, five of whom are top-secret files related to these disasters. The protagonist, Ye Buyu, has a spiritual world inhabited by a level-ten natural disaster, the Wailing Whale (Lezi Fish), whose awakened ability is healing, but this healing comes at a mandatory cost. Mu Bingge has fused with the Crown of the Flood King, the eccentric youth from Louguan Mountain has fused with the Core of the World, Kou Ying is a soul created by the leader of the Void Cult, possessing the leader's knowledge and memories, Su Wuwei is an unformed natural disaster, the Sun's Lament (Lezi Man), and Wan Lan is a sharp-tongued genius girl. The team is named Wan Tian Qing (as for how the sky tilts, don't worry about that 😏). Divided, they face calamities in all directions; united, they face a world-ending crisis.

    Everyone's praising ensemble casts, so I'll offer my humble opinion. What exactly is an ensemble cast? It means characters have backstory, supporting characters have their own plots and independent backstories, and these stories are interwoven. This work already features dozens of main supporting characters, each with multiple independent backstories, all interconnected. The plot development and the ensemble's strategic battles unfold based on character personalities and backgrounds; different choices in the same situation lead to completely different plot outcomes. This isn't a mindless wish-fulfillment story; if you don't like that, please don't read!

    Hi everyone, I'm recommending this to anyone interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts films. It features two female leads with minimal romance at the beginning; the focus is on solving cases. It's an ensemble piece, and the two main female characters are a traumatized, icy guy and a persistent, sunny girl.

    The essence of an ensemble piece isn't about the sheer number of characters or their development, but rather whether it's a story of one person supported by others, or a tale of a group. Each character is the protagonist of their own tragedy and a force contributing to the tragedies of others. The core appeal of ensemble fiction lies not in the exhilarating feeling of leveling up, but in the weight of the characters' fates, the holistic beauty of its world-building, and the tragic depth of its themes. Click on this—it will be the best ensemble piece you've read this year.

    Recommended! It's a story combining superpowers, a league, rebirth, and an academy, with a romantic pairing. It feels like the author has simply put a new shell to write about superpowers, but it seems quite fun. I might wait until it's more complete before reading further. The author's writing style and pacing were just average in the first few chapters, but they seem to improve as the story progresses. The league section was very enjoyable to read. It's like watching the author improve, and so far I quite like it.

    I really love ensemble dramas! 1. It seems like a physical book is going to be published soon, around the 25th. Wishing us all a bright future! 2. It's a Chinese-style magic school, and I really love Xiao Yu in it. She's so charming! (Li Wenyin is also super amazing!) The silencing spell in chapter 305—Yin said he couldn't speak, or she'd ignore him, and he obediently listened! So adorable! 3. Everyone's a villain, but the team is so harmonious and loving; they'd do anything for each other. The female lead, Nolvia, is a half-mermaid, and they have a mascot to keep them company! 4. The female lead isn't a good person; she's ambitious, powerful, and strong-willed. She doesn't care about anyone; her only concern is self-interest. 5. The female lead, Jiang Huashan, saves one "vicious female supporting character" after another, giving everyone a purpose in life. They aren't Jiang Huashan, but they, like her, have a bright future!
