   How exceptional is the female lead's spiritual root? She's practically the only one of her kind on the entire continent, possessing incredible support abilities. She transmigrated into a book; the original female lead was her older sister. Her sister dotes on her immensely, and her combat power is super strong. Within the major sects, the female lead is the darling of everyone, treated with utmost deference. Even the most expensive pills, talismans, and spiritual artifacts are just a pile of them for her.

   The first book features a female protagonist with a lightning-type spiritual root, possessing exceptional aptitude. While there's no scene involving spiritual root testing, there are many moments of character slapping in the face – a pure, satisfying read, and the characters are very well-developed. The second book features a female protagonist who is the only divine beast on the continent, a white tiger. She removes the male protagonist's ice-type spiritual root to transform into human form. During the spiritual root testing, she not only demonstrates exceptional aptitude but also causes extraordinary phenomena, astonishing everyone.

   The female protagonist is a real child. She's looked down upon by everyone when climbing the Heavenly Ladder at the beginning, but during the spiritual root test, she discovers a mutated Heavenly Grade Thunder Spiritual Root (plus Yin Spiritual Root). She also has a very powerful system. The story is currently at chapter 61, with many foreshadowing elements. There's no romantic pairing yet; it's an ensemble piece (5 characters). The system is truly amazing! Her master is also incredibly powerful, seemingly a Golden Immortal (or higher). In the human realm, her father is the Human Emperor. Around chapter 50, a middle-aged man named Xuanhuang appears, and I'm really curious about his identity! I personally think he's either her father, master, or crown prince (because so far, these are the only three possibilities). The story features an original female lead (not as powerful as the original) and an original male lead, both with fairly typical personalities. The main focus is on slapping the faces of the original male and female leads.

   Here, I'll give you two really good female protagonist novels I've been reading lately. The first one gets straight to the point, starting by killing the chosen one who committed suicide, then becoming his personal disciple—so high-profile! His master is also very protective of her, and the name of the Purple Emblem (wait, how do you spell that character? Forgot to check?) Resounds throughout the land. The second one also starts by killing a powerful, arrogant hero, later becoming the pride of her family and the undisputed number one genius, high-profilely taking the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi as her contracted beast. The third one features a multitude of characters: nine top disciples from the world's number one sect—a top-tier lineup. Anyway, they're both pretty good.

    All three are great. The charm of ensemble casts is undeniable. The first book has both laughs and tears; the five main characters are adorable, and the author has also developed rich supporting characters and a robust world-building. The author frequently interacts with readers, and while there might be some repetition in the later chapters, it doesn't significantly detract from the reading experience. (Actually, this book was originally titled: "Full of Extreme Thunder Spiritual Roots, Sweeping the Cultivation World into Tears"). The second book, despite the synopsis saying it's a happy ending, is actually a tragic one. The supporting character dies, and the main characters, once so full of youthful vigor—"That year's gathering of heroes produced seven champions"—are now either dead or insane. The most mischievous becomes the most composed. I wonder if the main character is the author's daughter/son? The third book is hilarious throughout, the author's mental state is remarkably advanced, and there are many other readers to enjoy it with, so go for it (no angst)... In short, I highly recommend all three. I've already finished the first two and am almost done with the third. Again, the charm of ensemble casts is undeniable!
