   The first book is the well-known "The Road to Confrontation" by Zaoshengchun. The Cangyun F7 are always doing well. Although the current plot is somewhat tragic, the writing style is still excellent. The overall theme is about confronting the fate of the original book. You can watch the comments. Although the little dragon is currently dead, it will be resurrected. The second book is a novel by Chaochao. The writing style is very good, with a 6:4 ratio of cultivation to romance. The handsome 0 and beautiful 1 pairing is very appealing. The little dragon is adorably naive and protects Kunkun, who is also very protective of her little dragon. The Fenghua F5 are all very strong, but together they are like kindred spirits in a lowly place, a pair of twin stars from a poor and dangerous place (except for the eldest sister). I really like Kunkun, the overpowered character, because I love seeing faces slapped. The master, senior uncle, and junior uncle are all very protective of their own. Kunkun also transmigrates into the book and streams, so you can watch the comments. The third book is by Fairy, where Xie Chen is a time traveler who brings abilities from other worlds with him. The original protagonist is quite evil, but our villainous Zong becomes friends with Xie Chen and also dislikes the original protagonist. The plot is very satisfying. If you don't like too many overpowered characters, you can skip this one. The fourth book is by Shengpinghe, where Lou Xian and Zhan Chizhuo grow up together. Lou Xian always thought his relationship with Chizhuo was brotherly, but actually, Chizhuo loves Lou Xian. The plot is sweet but with a few angst-filled moments. The angst is the reason Chizhuo changed his name. The highest level of love is heartache, which is embodied in Lou Zhuo. It's heartbreaking to see Chizhuo suffer, but Lou Xian will suffer even more than we do. The fifth book is by Liu Liu Guo. The original protagonist is a villain, while Xiao Chuan and Xiao Yan were originally close brothers, like the legendary Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. Xiao Chuan liked Song Chengmo, and Xiao Yan liked President Pei. However, due to experiments conducted by their families, they were used as guinea pigs, causing them to be caught in an avalanche and lose their memories. They then believe this is a fictional world and follow the plot. Forcing Xiao Yan to accept the story would cause him to forget again and the plot would start anew. President Pei could only slowly help Xiao Yan regain his memories. Xiao Chuan is actually quite timid, but when he saw the protagonist bullying Xiao Yan during the avalanche, he still grabbed a weapon to help, but in the end, the protagonist's mother intervened. This book has quite a few couples: our jury, the fishpond, and the "free gift" couple, as well as the extra couple Pei Ning and Gu Yanchu.

   I believe a good ensemble piece of fiction is evidenced by its total reading time and viewing time. At first, I thought it was a triumphant return, but as I read on, I discovered the protagonist was the least talented, yet also the most hardworking. A good ensemble piece should showcase the growth of all the characters. This book made the characters three-dimensional, so I don't understand why the readership is so low.

    The first is a youth campus novel, the second is a small-town romance, and the third is a modern female protagonist novel. I feel like they can be read as one book because the characters are interconnected, haha! The only difference is the main characters; the realistic ones are very good, and the contemporary romance ones are also great.

    I highly, highly, highly recommend these four ensemble novels!!! The first one is a modern magic school novel with superb writing; you can feel the friendship of the main characters in just a few words. It makes you laugh and cry. The female lead is brave, decisive, and lively; everyone loves her, and she loves all her friends in return. The second one was the first ensemble novel I read on Tomato! It's a cultivation novel, but there are no tear-jerking moments, and it doesn't have the typical "everyone dies, everyone dies" trope. It's just a group of spirited young people creating a story that belongs to their era. The third one is a contemporary romance novel. The female lead is a scholarship student attending a prestigious school. There are no Mary Sue plots or gender competition; it's just a simple story of the female lead working hard towards her goals and her friends going hand in hand. The fourth one is a post-apocalyptic novel, which perfectly fits the stereotype that ensemble novels always end in death (not really). This is a very socialist ensemble novel. In the apocalypse, we still have our country behind us; the country will not abandon anyone, and no one will abandon their country or themselves. Everyone's special abilities are studied by scientists; this is the role of science.

    Ensemble series are the best!!! The first one has no romance, but you can ship the main characters or not. Our Fuxing is the darling of the group, especially delicious! The author's writing is excellent and flows smoothly. The second one is a contemporary romance, very inspiring; after reading it, you might even want to study harder, haha. The third one features the famous Junior Uncle Lin Du—who dares disobey him! My favorite is the spirited young man. The fourth one has a post-apocalyptic world setting, with intelligent and quick-witted protagonists, plot twists and turns, and is mind-bending and exciting. You won't regret investing in it!!!
