    Reader note

    The first book's title tells you it's all about superpowers, a single female lead, and a male protagonist with a sister (not related by blood). The male protagonist only becomes powerful in the middle of the story, deliberately holding back his level in the early stages, but becomes invincible later. The sister in the story is practically perfect—a yandere, a 1.6-Meter-tall white-haired loli. It's a single female lead, so if you're looking for a sister-complex story, this one is guaranteed to be good (though the writing is a bit shallow). The second book is also good; it's about doting on a sister, but unfortunately, it's not a single-female lead story. It seems more like a pseudo-harem with multiple female leads or even no female leads (this one has decent writing).

    The first book is a breath of fresh air, or even an anomaly, in the "high-martial arts" genre. Personally, I think it truly portrays the "female lead" aspect of the genre extremely naturally and brilliantly, while seamlessly integrating her with the male lead's growth. It's rare to find a book that truly captures the essence of a high-martial arts protagonist in a unique and refreshing way, yet still manages to be perfect. It's like a story of mutual redemption. The second book is initially written from a high school student's perspective, focusing on growth and feeling quite realistic. Later, as the protagonist becomes stronger, the battles are truly exhilarating. It's incredibly good; this kind of setting is quite rare. The only similarities in Tomato's works are physical ghosts and strange beasts, but physical ghosts are supernatural, while strange beasts use katanas. This book is even more... The ghoul-centric theme is refreshing and already ranks among the top-tier works on Tomato Literature, maintaining consistently high quality. The third book is a very novel high-martial arts novel, primarily focusing on the male lead's satisfying killing spree and the interactions between the male and female leads. Both are strong, with no romantic entanglements; they like each other from the start and their relationship is mutually pursuing. The female lead is very cute, a bit naive but very proactive. The male lead isn't apathetic; he's intelligent and emotionally intelligent. Their interactions are sweet and straightforward, and he's shrewd in both fights and actions. The female lead is a bit naive at the beginning, but she's quickly won over by the male lead. Furthermore, the male lead is decisive, doesn't hold back, and his actions are incredibly cool. In summary: This book combines all the positive aspects of male-oriented novels, with no flaws; I love it. In short: Super good.

    Perfectly meets all requirements! [Heart emoji] The male and female leads are intelligent throughout, including the villains! [Heart emoji] The genre is urban martial arts, a single-female lead pure love story, and it's all my own writing! [Kiss emoji] I'm not a newbie, so it might not be the best written yet, but the author put in a lot of effort! [Facepalm emoji]
