   Reading this book late at night, starting with the mine rebellion, each major storyline gave me a feeling of sudden enlightenment through the words. The core of the book is stable and powerful. While it's a cultivation-themed ensemble piece, it truly focuses on humanity, featuring resistance, revolution, rebellion, and a fiercely resilient vitality. Whether it's the female lead or supporting characters, everyone has their own shining qualities; there are no romantic pairings or characters who become idiotic. Those looking for a strong female ensemble cast should read on with confidence—over 90% of the characters are outstanding. Highly recommended!

    These are all well-written and intelligent stories. This is a selection of the best I've read so many books; they're all super good. You can choose your favorite genre to read! [Kiss emoji] ① "Too Many Reborn? I'll Lead the National Team into the Battle" This book is highly recommended!!! The plot and world-building are fantastic. At first, people thought it was just a simple apocalypse, but it's actually a conspiracy by heretics. This is a battle between the female protagonist (or rather, the group protecting humanity) and the heretics, and it's not just the protagonist who's working hard. At the same time, the nation always knows more than you do; no individual's anomaly escapes the nation's notice. The female protagonist's thinking is at the atmospheric level, and her physical strength is incredibly formidable. Individual strength can't overcome the insurmountable barrier; only unity can! ② "Apocalyptic Rebirth: The Boss Starts with Millions in Stockpiles" Strong female lead, no saintly qualities, no romance, infrastructure building. Super good, a representative work of Tomato's female-oriented apocalyptic novels. The female protagonist is efficient and cool in everything she does, and the plot is very engaging. It's truly excellent! ③ *Dying in a Dating Variety Show: It Makes Sense* Super, super, super good! The protagonist is the murderer, and the plot follows the entire process. It's incredibly mind-bending and a bit thrilling. The female lead is very clever, with each case logically connected. A classic locked-room mystery. Highly recommended!!! ④ *Strange Tales Invaded: She Went Mad with Hidden Rules* The protagonist is incredibly smart, with extremely clear logic! A ghost story genre where you enter one ghost story after another to eliminate the ghosts that have fallen into the country. Super mind-bending, fighting for your country! ⑤ *Rampage: You're Playing Cards with a Magician?* A very interesting premise. Paradise Island determines status according to the size of playing cards. You can obtain a card by any means and gain the corresponding rights, provided you can survive after the card is revealed. However, to leave the island, you must find the Joker hidden deep within. No one knows who the Joker might be, so you can only plan step by step. The female lead seems to have thought things through a few steps, but she's actually incredibly cunning, a master of acting and scheming—very entertaining! ⑥ *Spiritual Qi Resurgence, My Support is Back with a Knife Again* A healer who doesn't want to be a warrior isn't a good cook. Why would someone with such a strong desire to kill awaken such a superpower?! Why is it a healing superpower?! But it doesn't matter, even a poisonous healer is still a healer. The female lead's command and combat power are off the charts, incredibly strong, and she never takes the conventional path. The later stages feature ensemble casts, all about sacrificing themselves for their country and people. Highly recommended, it's really good! ⑦ *Ding, Achieve Lasting Fame, Miss Cousin Opens the Book* A civil service exam novel, with no female rivalry whatsoever. A woman disguises herself as a man to enter the court as an official, a slow and steady plot. Super good! ⑧ *The Marquis's Elite Class* Super interesting! The way the mischievous kids are handled is hilarious. In the end, all the mischievous kids become top students in the civil service exams. Very lighthearted and funny. No annoying scenes. The later appearance of the female lead's official partner is truly the best romance I've seen in the last two years! "I can't let go. This confinement has lasted too long, so long that it's almost grown into my flesh and blood. Even pulling it apart feels uncomfortable." "It's not that serious. There was only one shackle to begin with. You're afraid of making mistakes, so you added a few more to yourself." The male lead is so gentle and helpful, it's really good! ⑨ "Initial Attributes Are Terrible? But My Game IQ Is Unbeatable" It's very interesting! In a survival game, everyone else chooses mercenaries like Bell and Lanling King, but the female lead is Wang Baochuan, hahaha.

    I only recommended a few that I could think of. Besides Xun Ge, I also thought Lin Du and others were good. Most of the time, I only like to read completed novels and those without a romantic pairing. I only read ongoing novels and those with a romantic pairing unless they are particularly exciting and don't affect my reading experience. The first book is Yu Xun Ge [Tomato's favorite novel] - it was ranked number one on the female readers' list for several consecutive months! No romantic pairing, lone wolf, there is cooperation in the early stages, and later they go to the battlefield of the gods. He is like a spiritual leader of Blue Star! (Approved by Tiandao) The writing is smooth, and the characters, especially the female characters, are very well-developed. It's the only ongoing novel I follow every day. The plot has currently reached the God's Battlefield, which is similar to a dungeon, so you can still read the earlier parts without any issues. (Because it's an ongoing novel, there were some controversies during the transitions between different locations, such as foreshadowing. However, having followed it this far, I feel that Xun Ge truly stays true to his original intentions, creating vivid and relatable characters with strong humanity and a dazzling display of the soul's fire. Some parts of the story were so gripping that I've already reread it three or four times.) The second book: Qiu Qi – From the Grasslands to Dominating the World. The protagonist has a system from a young age, but it's quite unique. The heroine's use of various resumes is also unexpected, like a coming-of-age story. Each character is unique, and you can learn a lot from it. The style is quite unique, with a cheerful tone, humor, and originality. The third book: Ji Qingzhou (I really love this passage: Beneath her silent steps lies her unspoken persistence, like wild grass sprouting from a crack in the rock, a flame igniting in the darkness—insignificant, yet vibrant and fiery—it is her unyielding ambition.) A micro-ensemble piece, mutual healing and redemption. Qingzhou truly is a beacon of light, fulfilling my fantasies about cultivators. Gentle yet decisive, strong yet kind, she possesses immense personal charm. The other characters are also remarkably well-developed, with strong moral values ​​and great compassion. The fourth book: Sheng An—the name itself reflects the prosperity of the era and the peace of the nation! A post-apocalyptic story, but one of the few that focuses on the nation. The female lead is powerful and intelligent! An ensemble piece, where every member of the team is indispensable. Numerous plot twists; the main storyline is seeking the truth of the apocalypse and saving humanity. The fifth book: Jiang Hanjin—no romance, a micro-ensemble piece. The female lead is decisive and self-serving. But! Despite this, she still has a soft spot in her heart, because some people truly deserve it. It's finished, but the ending is somewhat open-ended. The female lead is the strongest; the original male lead was a child who called her "auntie." Sixth book: Bai Lan—no romance, a cannon fodder female supporting character with a script and a system (the system is just a accessory) in a save/load novel. The save/load section is very well written, haha, greatly satisfying my collecting obsession. The female lead is intelligent, cunning, and has a firm Daoist heart, single-mindedly focused on her career.

    The story begins with the female protagonist transmigrating. Despite enduring over a decade of torment from her family, she remains steadfast in her ideals, rising step by step from the mire to her rightful place. At this moment, her wounds are no longer seen as suffering, but as symbols of her growth. (In short, the female protagonist is intelligent and capable, while the male protagonist is powerful and influential, but he is willing to let her climb over him to reach greater heights.) Most importantly, this is supposed to be an ensemble piece! However, the author handles the boundaries between the main characters' relationship and those of the companions exceptionally well! Go for it!

    This is my number one survival novel! The female lead is highly intelligent and strong, there's no romantic partner, and while she doesn't stand out in the early stages, the later parts are incredibly satisfying! She has no teammates, only subordinates! The plot truly gets better with each reading, so you absolutely must read to the end! (Because the author will answer some questions from the early parts later, there will be many comments questioning why the female lead is number one and what about the mercenaries—this is because the female lead has some luck and strength, which the author will explain later, so don't worry about them!) Finally, a heads-up: some readers might question the female lead's actions in the early parts, and some might find it uncomfortable. Don't worry about that! It will all be fine later on.
