   They're all really good, but the first one, while great in the beginning, felt a bit draggy later on, making it hard to continue. As for the second one, you might find my review if you click through, but it has a bit too many mixed elements. The third one is very good, but I felt the female lead had a flirtatious relationship with a guy, I think his surname is Xia. Also, the plot felt a bit repetitive, and there were a lot of those parts. I skipped a few parts. Overall, all three are very good books! ^ω^

    A very good ensemble piece with no romantic pairings, no ambiguous relationships, single main characters, strong friendships, and a strong sense of morality. It features heartwarming everyday moments, exciting battles, ordinary people, and chivalrous heroes. The friendships of the Edo Yorozuya (Odd Jobs) are enduring; everyone in the Yorozuya is like family, a family without blood ties (Gintama volume).

    The first book features well-developed characters; there are no completely evil or completely good people. It's a no-romance book, so you can read it without worry. The second book is also no-romance, but everyone loves the female lead. It's a comedy, but there will be some angst interspersed throughout.

    A four-elemental psychic power system (wind, fire, water, earth) combined with divine abilities; an interesting premise, ensemble character development, and well-crafted combat. There are resource constraints, strengths and weaknesses, and teamwork; victories aren't achieved through mere words. If you enjoy well-designed battles and victories with consequences, this should be to your liking. [Original work enthusiast][Original work enthusiast]
