   This is a super engaging cultivation novel featuring an ensemble cast. The author's writing is excellent, with each character being unique and refreshing. Every couple has a happy ending, and everyone is happy. This is the only book I've reread multiple times. The plot is also fresh and original. It's probably the best cultivation novel I've read on Tomato (the author's pen name). I highly recommend it!

    Let me recommend some of my favorite ensemble novels ♛ The first one is a healing story! It's a campus healing novel where the protagonist is like a little sun, warming everyone's hearts, and the students in Class 3 are also trying their best to help others. ♚ The second one is a cultivation novel, no romance. The interactions between the three main characters are really cute, haha. The author's writing is excellent! The plot is great, I've already read it many times~ ♟ The third one is an ancient suspenseful crime-solving novel with a touch of martial arts. I personally think it's pretty good. Some of the cases are very interesting. It features a magistrate, a clerk, and a coroner. A magistrate who only likes money, a clerk who likes his brother's money, and a coroner who likes corpses—the interactions between the three are hilarious! No romance. ♝ The fourth one is my personal favorite because the main characters have a romantic storyline. It's a campus fantasy ensemble novel with a very interesting story and superb writing. No one can resist a group of spirited young people! It's an ensemble novel about mutual redemption. Everyone has their own unique redemption, and everyone is redeeming each other. Every team member is each other's friend, companion, and family.

    Reader note

    Highly recommend "Cultivation: Everyone Thinks She Has a Powerful Background!" Wu Weiyang, possessing five spiritual roots, is alone and without any powerful connections. Relying solely on her courage and relentless effort, she steadily climbs the ranks in the cultivation world, breaking through cultivation barriers and unlocking magical techniques and weapon crafting through sheer strength, turning the tide against all odds. The sect members initially look down on her, but after witnessing her repeated miracles, they develop awe and speculation. Cultivation families become envious and try to curry favor, even going so far as to falsely claim kinship. The changing attitudes and interpretations of various characters create a vivid portrait of humanity, portraying the myriad aspects of human nature. No one knows that her achievements stem from tireless cultivation; everyone fabricates a powerful background for her. This "misunderstanding-based halo" created by hard work makes her journey of triumph both inspiring and exhilarating. The lively and engaging interactions among the characters, coupled with the protagonist's resilience and growth, resonate deeply with readers. The more you read, the more you appreciate it!

    This is a cultivation novel with a strong sense of restraint and featuring an ensemble cast. I really like the female lead's personality; Lu Xiaojin is an exceptionally good girl. Even after being killed countless times, she still bravely stands up again. The writing style is light and humorous. One second I was crying, and the next second I was laughing at the author's hilarious jokes. It's quite an interesting book, and the other characters are also well-developed. It's definitely worth reading.
