    🌹Then you've come to the right place! These two books together are so authoritative!😋 ① Super Invincible Universe is amazing, okay? Don't give up because of the synopsis! The author's writing is quite good, and the main text is very comfortable to read. There's no forced boasting. In short, highly recommended!💪 ② By the same author, I think this one is also quite good, but I only read the first few chapters, so you still need to check it out yourself to see if there are any issues.💋

    Come on, this one! A female forensic doctor transmigrates into the body of a true god. A high-IQ, career-driven, straight woman, she tolls the death knell for the apocalypse. A new concept of gods, set against the backdrop of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with no characters who are stupid or lacking in intelligence. She doesn't possess divinity in the early stages; it's all foreshadowing and details. The romance is also good. The male lead (let's call him the male lead for now) is a yandere, clingy pest, and his master is a schizophrenic little green tea. The second volume, after she gains divinity, leans towards the bizarre and exhilarating. Worth following!

    The first three books feature female protagonists, while the last one features a male protagonist. The female protagonists are all brave and resourceful, and the multiple male leads feel quite ironic.

The writing is all quite good, so I won't go into too much detail; you can check out the synopsis for more information. [Full][Full]

    These two female-dominated novels are both enjoyable and satisfying. The female protagonists aren't repressed, and all the male characters are virgins. They're great for female protagonist enthusiasts. I highly recommend the first one, where the female protagonist becomes the crown prince and eventually ascends the throne; and the second one, where the female protagonist starts as a scholar writing stories in a female-dominated world.
