   These are all great reads to get into! 1. The ensemble cast of the master is the strongest! And his identity is also very impressive. The romance between the two develops relatively slowly. 2. Xiao Xie attracts everyone purely through his personal charm. It's very good. 3. This one doesn't seem to have much of an ensemble cast, but overall it's still very good. It's almost finished, so it's worth getting into. 4. In the early stages, the two are a couple on the opposing side. Xie Qi was already clinging to Ming Xue every day before he even realized his own feelings! Super good!

She embarks on a 21-day post-apocalyptic survival challenge; success will earn her ten million interstellar coins, enough not only to pay off her debts but also to allow her to live a carefree life. However, the problem is, no one wants to team up with her; she can't start the game without a four-person team. Since all the other players avoid her like the plague, Sui Qi decides to rely on herself and successfully teams up with three other unwanted players: a cool, anemic guy who faints from hunger, a gloomy boy with a prosthetic limb, and a nine-year-old girl losing her baby teeth. Netizens immediately predict their doom, waiting for the useless team to be eliminated. But they defy expectations! The anemic guy takes on three opponents single-handedly! The prosthetic-limbed boy kills without blinking an eye! The nine-year-old girl turns out to be the strongest fighter! And Sui Qi, the seemingly wicked, love-struck idiot, is actually a survival master! The useless team goes on a killing spree, attacking any player they encounter without hesitation. Even the game's god of kings, Lian Jue, revered by all players, suffered a cruel fate. The seemingly useless squad, invincible throughout the game, would gather every night to play a game of tag, killing whoever they targeted. Netizens exclaimed, "What happened to the useless squad?! They're all ruthless!" Players were devastated: "Isn't this a survival game? When did it turn into a death game?!" Finally, all the players pooled together ten million, offering it up with both hands, begging Sui Qi to show mercy. Sui Qi accepted the money and said calmly, "Ceasefire today, continue tomorrow." The players all collapsed in disbelief: "Truly vicious!" (There's a couple involved.)

    Two really good mecha novels! They're plot-driven and engaging; you'll get completely absorbed once you start reading. I especially liked the second one; it has lots of conflict, the fight scenes are excellent, and there's no unnecessary romance or empty boasting. The author writes very well! Looking for similar novels!!! Team-based, ensemble-style, battle-oriented, competition-focused!!!
