    This author excels at writing ensemble pieces and group dramas. There's no female-male rivalry, everyone's intelligent, no system, no rebirth, no bullet comments, no cheat codes. The logic is clear and smooth, and heartwarming daily life drives the plot. I have high hopes for this book. The first one had a bit too much setup in the beginning. When the male lead first appeared, he seemed a bit crazy (maybe he really is). But as you read on, you just felt he was such a good guy. He endured his traumatic reaction to befriend the male supporting character, and sincerely apologized and repented because the male supporting character had bullied him. The male lead is truly an angel. The second book is even more interesting. The supporting characters are all fairies who have lived for many years. The author often talks about their experiences living in ancient times. The male lead even lived in medieval Europe, which the author also wrote about. The most interesting thing is that the character Qing Chi was once Consort Wan (the author didn't explicitly say so, but you can really tell). It's truly the best version of Consort Wan's story I've ever read, and it even made me cry.

    You should check this out. It's an ensemble piece; besides the male and female leads, there are two other women, two men, and a super cute mythical beast. The characters are all well-developed. The story is also quite original. There are characters with high intelligence and decisiveness, high combat skills, abundant magical elixirs, and extensive knowledge, etc. It's a great team that shares both good and bad times. The main plot revolves around fighting against the Heavenly Court, and there are many exciting dungeons and scenarios, including some satirical commentary. It's very addictive, trust me.
