   The first book is absolutely amazing! It's a shame it's still ongoing. The friendship, family, and romance aspects are all fantastic! The second book is mainly slice-of-life school life, which is great! The third book leans more towards Western fantasy, with no romance—the four characters don't have any romantic chemistry at all, haha. The plot feels more episodic? The fourth book is shorter and has more male characters, so be aware of that if you prefer, but the plot is excellent, featuring a female protagonist who grows up. I highly recommend the fifth book; it has a great logical loop, and the characters are well-developed. And I especially loved the family and friendship themes in the last book!

   These two books are truly the best cultivation novels I've ever read. The first one features a male protagonist who is a sunny, kind young man. He's kind to others not because he likes them, but because he's a genuinely good person—a high-quality male lead. The female lead also loves him deeply.

   The first book: A dual male protagonist story. The main character and his junior brother are a couple. The junior brother has a powerful background, and the protagonist's is equally powerful. Their families belong to clans, so they are on equal footing. The protagonist and his junior brother are both incredibly talented, and their master, senior sister, and senior brother also possess great abilities. It's basically a group of vibrant young people living life to the fullest, and overall it's a very enjoyable read. The second book: It's about amnesia. The protagonist (the bottom) has amnesia, but the main character attacks him. So, from the moment he enters a dungeon, the top character (the top) silently protects him. The bottom character is very powerful, on par with the dungeon's powerful deities. The ending is quite happy, and it's also an ensemble piece, very enjoyable! I highly recommend both of these books!!! Also, you can check out the third book; it's absolutely amazing! I've recommended it before!!

    The first book, *Lin Du*, is absolutely amazing; you could say it's romance-free. It's my absolute favorite. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth are all super-powerful, no-romance novels with strong female leads (•̀ᴗ•́). The last one features a group of young people adventuring in the martial arts world, full of youthful vigor and spirit—it's sweet and cheerful! [Shy][kissing emoji]

    The following three are books that I think are very good. Without further ado, let me introduce them: (I'm not very good at writing book reviews, so please be kind) ① "This young lady can represent the entire Baili family, but can you represent the entire Tianheng Sect?" The female lead's character in the first book is right up my alley. The young lady's identity is very arrogant. The female lead is decisive and ruthless, leaving no trace of the enemy. It's very satisfying to read. Moreover, the female lead is open about her identity from the beginning. If she encounters someone who doesn't know what's good for her, she will kill them without harming the innocent. Later, she meets many good friends. The young men are unrestrained and lively in their language (Baili Fu, Yuchi Lengqing, Qingzhu Liumu, Baili Yuanqing, Qi Jing, six of them, each with their own unique beauty and handsomeness). This book is really heartwarming. It features many sweet couples. When I first started reading, I thought it would be another story with one female and many male characters, but to my surprise, not all the disciples are male; it's more like many males and many females. The female lead diligently raises her children and makes many good friends. The writing style is humorous, and I haven't encountered any angst yet. The female lead is also very strong, so the reading experience isn't frustrating. She's decisive in her actions, especially her transformation from initially focusing on completing tasks to genuinely feeling the care of her friends. The ensemble cast is incredibly touching. "We're all best friends, right?" It's super good! ③ This book's author has an exceptionally good writing style, with vivid imagery that's so stunning it could be made into a TV series. It's a story of finding sweetness amidst heartbreak; the beginning is quite humorous, but the later parts become a bit angsty. Thankfully, the author manages to resolve all the plot holes. The female lead is like a little sun, warming everyone's hearts. Each character is vividly portrayed, and the author doesn't hold back in their descriptions. The ensemble cast is truly heartwarming; though everyone is a little bitter, they all feel warmth in this friendship. I hope their future is filled with sweetness. This is currently my favorite book, and I hope everyone will check it out. "That year, the Heroes' Gathering produced seven first-place winners." "My name is Sang Nian, the 'Nian' in 'unforgettable.'" "Chu Yao tragically died on their wedding day." "A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree." "Unfortunately… I couldn't become Xiao Zhuochen again." "I, Shen Mingchao, will become the number one sword immortal in the cultivation world. Then, alone with my sword, I will bravely roam the world, see all the beautiful scenery, and defeat all opponents." "I don't want to be number one anymore, Xiao Sang, I want you back." "Then may we both have a bright future." "A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree." "Damn it, don't underestimate the bond between us!"

"I send you thirty million, ten million happiness, ten million health, ten million peace." "You say he has no heart, then I'll give him one." "He climbed out of purgatory, I won't let him fall back down." "Gods and Buddhas won't forgive him, but I will." "That's my answer, do you understand?"
