    The female protagonist of this book is the only true god, but she's not that strong in the early stages; she quietly develops her power. The premise is quite novel, with various protagonists who transmigrate, are reborn, and there are female protagonists, male protagonists, villains, cannon fodder... Basically a complete mess, all gathered in the female protagonist's territory building infrastructure. I read it all night last night and found the latest chapter quite interesting.

    Strong female lead, no romantic pairing. A female-centric story with political intrigue and ensemble elements. A tale of empresses vying for power in a chaotic world. The best book on the Japanese website. Rated at least 9 points. Much better than those with millions of online readers.
