    Most of them have some angst, and I've only read bits and pieces of the last five, so choose carefully. I highly recommend the first five, especially *Game Invasion*, which features a female protagonist with no romantic pairing!!! The first five are all quite angsty ꒦ິ^꒦ິ. As for the words, anyone who has read *Lin Du* knows who the protagonist is.

I’m revising it from scratch. If you’re interested, check out my new book, “Supposedly, I’m the Villainess of a Male-Oriented Novel.” It’s a slow-burn story with a bit of an ensemble cast, and the leads don’t interact much. Updates have been restricted. My new book, “The Cultivation World’s Live Commentary Troll,” is lighthearted, so give it a try if that sounds like your thing.

    Fans of strong female leads, come on in!!! The pacing is a bit slow at the beginning, so I recommend starting from the middle. Although I don't know why the author didn't label it that way, it truly features strong female leads! The ensemble cast is also very charming, and most of the highlights are actually by the girls! Plus, the plot and intrigue are really engaging! The writing is excellent, the characters are intelligent, and the plot is great!

    Reader note

    This story features a very different worldview: a world of medicine, poison, and cultivation. The female protagonist is actually a heretical cultivator, but she's infiltrated by a righteous team. It's an ensemble piece, with each member possessing unique strengths. Initially, it's a disorganized team of two patriarchs, a somewhat unreliable parent, and four disciples, somewhat reminiscent of male-oriented fantasy cultivation novels. They embark on adventures through various secret realms, exploring the world's secrets and searching for the protagonist's own path. Trust me! The initial development is a bit slow before the female protagonist embarks on her cultivation journey, but it takes off like a rocket once the story begins!
