    The first book needs no introduction; its ensemble cast is truly magnificent, with each character having a distinct role and personality. This isn't meant to be disparaging, but I think its ensemble cast is far more vibrant and diverse than that of *Ten Days to End*. The second book is a niche work that I personally enjoy. Both the protagonist and the author are very interesting. It's a slow burn, but once you get into it, it's a very good infinite flow novel. (Judging by the reading time, I'm a true fan [cool])

    All three are urban fantasy, set in academies, and feature ensemble casts. The first and third have a single female lead, and the main character and his brother in the first book have a particularly sweet and romantic relationship. I read that recently; there are quite a few couples in it, and there are many plot twists. The second book is more of a comedic, fast-paced story. I vividly remember a scene where a monster turned the entire sea yellow after eating a dish made by one of the main characters. I read both the first and third books a while ago, and I thought they were both quite good.

    A youth campus ensemble novel, without female rivalry or backstabbing. The male and female leads have very positive values, and it's super enjoyable. The female leads are all pure and innocent. "Vermilion Kiss" truly captivated me. Trust me, I've read every single one from beginning to end without getting tired of them. The writing is excellent. Highly recommended! Highly recommended!
