The first book is for those going through a low point, whether it's physical discomfort or a decline in mental health; see how the female protagonist adjusts her mindset. The second book is about someone so poor they're practically eating dirt, earning money through games and achieving a miraculous turnaround; they're still striving, not yet at the "satisfying" stage. The third book is about someone deceived by a scumbag, fighting back to turn their life around; relying on yourself is worse than relying on others. The fourth book is about a workplace slacker who secretly lives at the company and finds love with a little hamster.
