   This book is really good. The writing is excellent, and all the characters are vivid and three-dimensional. What's particularly impressive is the pacing, plot logic, and the character development of the supporting characters—they're all very lively. (By the way, the female characters are also very well written and there are quite a few; they feel great and natural to read.) The female lead has no romantic partner. The protagonist's personality is very resilient, like a weed. She's an indigenous person but has an innate ambition to fight and rebel. She's definitely not someone who passively accepts her fate. She's decisive and doesn't hesitate or dawdle. At the beginning, she kills her own father and then escapes to cultivate immortality, killing her demonic cultivator master in return (although this sounds a bit cliché, it's really good). Although the protagonist has a system of truth, goodness, and beauty, it's best not to expect her to be truly virtuous and beautiful while reading. The protagonist is very clear-headed and not easily brainwashed or manipulated. Although she doesn't kill or eat people indiscriminately (killing a cultivator who tries to kill you isn't killing, eating your demonic cultivator master who wants to kill you isn't eating people, and being forced to eat a human pill isn't eating people either, right? The protagonist actually has a lot of sense of justice and principles—she's a demonic cultivator! [Heart emoji][heart emoji] Our Li Li is such a good little girl!) In short, the wicked female demon cultivator has no romantic pairing but is of guaranteed quality (actually, I think she's just in a chaotic neutral camp? Far from being considered evil, she's more of a breath of fresh air among demon cultivators, just more ruthless). She will also kill innocent people who don't know good or evil when necessary.

    This book has never featured such a captivating female lead before! It's a 1v4 story, full of high-energy dog-training elements, a harem trope, and a cutthroat competition among male leads. The male leads are also very compelling. Most importantly, the female lead isn't love-struck; she's ambitious and relentlessly kills her way to her goals, relentlessly slaughtering and beating up all the clear-headed beauties. It feels like no one is good enough for her to handle. Go go go!
