    I'd like to recommend a historical fiction novel with multiple female leads. The female characters are well-developed and not mindless. The descriptions and expressions of the characters' interpersonal relationships, psychology, and overall intelligence are quite good. Although the book's rating isn't high right now, it's generally well-written. If you like historical fiction, especially harem novels, this is a good choice. You can check it out if you're interested.

    The "Check-in System" novel, featuring a single female lead, is complete. The book's plot is very well-balanced, with necessary details and easily skipped passages, avoiding any tedious or melodramatic plot points. It's truly a very good historical fiction. The only drawback is some typos and omissions, which also indicates it's not an AI-generated story. Highly recommended!!
