   The first book is great! The female protagonist is a post-apocalyptic leader who transmigrates to ancient times. Relying on her knowledge and wisdom, she starts from scratch, teaming up with the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled women on the escape route to find water, cultivate land… using modern knowledge and ideas to liberate productivity. The author loves seeing the daily lives of ordinary people from their perspective, witnessing how life gradually improves, and how people's lives become increasingly hopeful and full of struggle! Seeing an equal world (with women subtly holding a dominant position) often brings tears to my eyes. Seeing countless idealists, I'm frequently amazed by the author's vast knowledge, covering social, historical, economic, cultural, scientific, and political perspectives! The second book is also great! The author's worldview is vast and well-developed. As Liu Yulou escapes the brothel at the beginning of the novel, a vast, bizarre, and dangerous world gradually unfolds in my mind. The plot is intricately linked, with every step fraught with danger and peril. Many seemingly absurd elements in the novel are actually consistent with human nature. A black dragon, revered by thousands and praised as a guardian deity, is coiled in the imperial city… Open your eyes to the truth, there is no dragon in the northern imperial city! It's a centipede that blots out the sky! ("Attention! Attention! Don't let it discover you can see it!") Looking south, on the endless mountains, a giant eye opens, as if it has spotted you… Looking west, a giant hand hovers above the city, appearing and disappearing in the mist… This novel still has many idealists who, despite the decaying world, still have people who use their blood and flesh to protect the common people. It shows seemingly absurd choices, each with its own unspeakable helplessness. It shows the rapid growth of people from a prosperous era to chaos. It shows whether Liu Yulou, who longs to return home, will lose his way on this endless path… It shows Liu Yulou facing death hundreds of times in the simulation, just to glimpse that sliver of hope! (Almost forgot about women's mutual aid and feminism, my dear sisters! 😘 Although the female protagonist isn't particularly powerful in the early parts of the story, she has a firm heart and beliefs! After all, she's only been in this strange and chaotic world for a short time, and her main task is to survive and find her way home. There are many strong female characters in the story, and their images are three-dimensional and rich. They have the complexity of human nature, as well as an innate desire for power and strength! (They are not just simple symbols.) For example, there's the Daoist Lady who died for the sake of the common people. There's the precocious Zhu Niang, who possesses heaven-level talent and is an idealist wielding a brush (I forgot her name). There's Bai Ling, the observer who decides to "start anew" and remain indifferent, the ceiling of humanity, the legendary Ba Yao who has reincarnated nine times... Etc. They are all key figures (in other words, there are no key characters or plot points in this book that are all male).

    Family, does anyone understand?! Snow leopard tails have become crazy traps! 📖 This book, "Snow Leopard Tail? Clearly a Crazy Trapper (Cross-Border Redemption)," completely breaks the mold of typical ensemble novels with its original setting—absolutely brilliant! 👏 You'll regret it if you don't read it! In the story, Zhong Xuezhi stubbornly refuses to leave, saying to Mu Yi with a sly look, "Little brother, it's my turn." Mu Yi is completely bewildered 😳: "Your turn for what?" Then Zhong Xuezhi grins and makes a bizarre request: "You can't keep other snow leopards in the future." Not satisfied, he adds, "You can't keep any pets." Mu Yi is incredibly conflicted 🤯, what if he encounters a super beautiful snow leopard in the future? But Zhong Xuezhi isn't stupid; he immediately starts negotiating, saying that unilateral restrictions are unfair. Their eyes meet, and Mu Yi starts calculating in his mind: if Zhong Xuezhi can't marry and have siblings, then it seems reasonable for him not to let him keep other pets? Moreover, no other snow leopard is as tolerable as Zhong Xuezhi—fully functional and obedient. After much thought, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay." Zhong Xuezhi was overjoyed, practically beaming with happiness 😆, and quickly emphasized, "You're not allowed to go back on your word later, and you're not allowed to find loopholes." Mu Yi retorted, "I'll take that back from you." The two of them bantered like a pair of bickering lovers. Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Mu Yi noticed the flower-shaped monster swaying at his waist and regretted forgetting about it. Zhong Xuezhi immediately understood, "The flower-shaped monster doesn't count from the future; we can keep it." What a plot twist 🤣 The ensemble cast departs from the cliché of the senior sister and junior sister, full of originality. The wonderful and amusing bond between the snow leopard cat and the human is truly addictive. Start watching now and see what other antics they'll pull!

    The first book, without a romantic pairing, seems like a typical ensemble piece. Later, after the female lead enters the academy, it becomes an ensemble story, the kind with a strong theme. The line, "There are houses of gold in books," is particularly poignant. But why are these houses of gold only in books? "If there really is gold in books, why not take it out and let everyone collect it?" Why not open the door wider so everyone can come in? "That way everyone will be rich and live in big houses, how wonderful!" Therefore, opening a girls' academy allows one to become a female official. The most innocent children speak and act with innocence, and they put it into practice. I think it qualifies as an ensemble piece, where everyone shines. My description might be a bit messy, but you should check it out! The second book is an infinite flow ensemble piece. The female lead is truly strong, and the bonds between them are deep. Everyone is willing to sacrifice for her, and she will do anything to protect her friends. She's the kind of person who appears to save you when you're sad or helpless. In the latest chapter, even when she was killed but wouldn't truly die, I didn't consider saving her teammates, but she chose to use her skill to keep them alive so they could overcome the challenge together! For Lanlan, being devoted to her is as simple as breathing! The third book features a sunny, warm-hearted female protagonist—passionate, gentle, and observant. She can befriend anyone if she wants. Her wonderful family background is what makes her so wonderful. Reborn into this world, her mission is to redeem all the students in her class, making their lives better. She chooses not to die, but to be reborn. She genuinely tries to understand her friends, not just to complete a task or achieve a result. She truly helps everyone; she's so good, so incredibly good!

    Just finished reading this! The heroine who loves to eat snail noodles + the protagonist group who holds the fantasy "Olympics" + the protagonist group who creates the fantasy "United Nations" is really incredible hahahaha. I feel like the author got more comfortable writing it later. Every group battle in the later period was very exciting, and it also involved the grievances between two generations. The pace is a bit slow at the beginning, but I think it's pretty good as I read it, not a mindless and enjoyable read. Personally, I like the finale, the settlement screen for a group of MVPs!! Recommend!

    This! Oh my god, it's so incredibly moving, my eyes hurt from crying so much [crying][crying] When her friend learned about the female lead's experiences, she said, "But you've taken good care of yourself." So poised and resilient, she said, "Have you thought this through? Once you decide to embark on this path of no return, the road ahead is long and turbulent, filled with unavoidable calamities." "Wearing armor and wielding weapons is a death sentence, and besides," Wu He lowered her head and grinned, "a scholar dies for one who understands him, without regret." The female lead had been hurt, but "she still decided to believe her friend. She's actually very easy to coax; a flower wreath, a pleasure boat, a bowl of chicken soup, a bottle of medicine… and she forgets everything." "My great general sister told me that those in power must be rational, but also have flesh and blood, passion, and emotion, so that they can empathize with the people. I've always believed that Heaven has given us a heart of compassion for all beings, and also the ability to save them, which is why there are thousands of cultivators who cultivate the three thousand great paths, different from ordinary people." What doesn't kill her makes her stronger. If a girl in her early teens were to seriously and earnestly spout nonsense about how she controls the fate of many people, it would seem like she's gone mad. But Cuiya's face didn't show surprise or disbelief. Instead, she said, "If I were one of the 'many people' you're talking about, I would certainly be glad that the person I follow is so worried about their future." "But I'm just your mother. I only hope you can be happy, carefree, safe, and without worries." The female protagonist and her friends didn't immediately call the sect elders when something happened, nor was it a forced reduction in intelligence. Rather, "Because they're used to being independent cultivators, they haven't reacted yet. Now they can mobilize people for battle and even call their parents." The sun will always rise. Whether it's the long days and short nights of summer or the short days and long nights of winter, the sun will always rise. When there was a preference for sons over daughters, the author also wrote a touching nursery rhyme: "The loving mother sings, at the head-chopping ridge, Mother calls her beloved, her beloved smiles, the loving mother's hand holds the thread, her beloved's head and body are connected, before leaving, she sews carefully, fearing... Her daughter's return." "Of course, Lü Diedie is irreplaceable." Wu Yu is the virtuous and elegant He, the woman who gives birth to all living things, and the newborn He. It turns out that this long-lost feeling of wanting to cry wasn't something she had lost, but rather something she had deliberately hidden as a weakness. Her black eyes, which symbolized her integration with her senior brothers and sisters, gradually faded, revealing her original color. She no longer needed to integrate with anyone, nor did she need anyone's approval. There were no inner demons, no awakenings, only a child yearning for her mother's warmth and a mother whose warmth was gradually fading. They made a promise: neither of them could forget the way home. Twin flowers don't have one life and one death, only twin life and twin death.

The way the main characters constantly use spells on each other as they grow is really touching. 2. The second book features six sisters, each with a romantic partner. If you like romance novels, I highly recommend checking it out. The plot is also very engaging. 3. The third book is more of a comedic slice-of-life story, depicting everyday life in a class. I also think it's definitely worth reading.
