    Fanfiction of *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*, ⚠️dismantling Grindelwald! It's a Grindelwald x original female lead story⚠️. Fans of Johnny Depp should definitely check this out – his version of Grindelwald is a must-read. The writing style leans towards Western influences, faithfully capturing Grindelwald's captivating charm. The female lead is a pure villain, intelligent and powerful, capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Grindelwald, definitely not a naive or innocent character. A strong fan of witchcraft and esoteric themes! The emotional power struggle between the male and female leads is incredibly intense. Besides the first newly started book and the second completed one, the same author also has two other Grindelwald x original female lead stories: *Draco's Dream Echoes* (first timeline with Draco, second timeline with Grindelwald), which is my absolute favorite [heart emoji], and *Mr. Grindelwald, Please Wait a Moment*, which is also extremely good.

    The first and eighth are relatively lighthearted and enjoyable, with well-developed characters. The second, sixth, fourth, seventh, and ninth are more ruthless and bloody. The third and seventh are science fiction, while the first and fifth are more comedic and lighthearted. (The first one's biggest flaw: the male lead goes back to being a constable for a while, but he returns to normal after a while, and there's also a romance, which is the biggest flaw, but it's bearable. Otherwise, it's quite good. The second one doesn't have many flaws, and I'm quite satisfied with it. The third one is science fiction with a vast world-building, which is very good, and there aren't many flaws. The fourth one is a revenge story, which is okay, and there aren't many flaws, but it's not as good as the others. The fifth one is a clone story, which is very fun, and I don't care about the flaws; it's very good. The sixth one has a slightly rushed ending, but the plot is actually quite good. The seventh one is a combination of mental illness and science fiction, which is very good, at least it fulfilled my fantasies. The eighth one is a lighthearted story. The ninth one needs no introduction; it's Tomato's most heartfelt story.) None of them have a female lead.

    Don't let the low rating fool you, this book is truly amazing! The protagonist is the only cultivator in the world, possessing divine right of kings and a connection to the Investiture of the Gods. This is currently the third volume, and it's definitely worth the investment. The protagonist experiences the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Republican eras, with emperors from each dynasty requesting his imperial seal. He even founded the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. It's truly fantastic! [Kissing emoji][Admiring emoji][Drooling emoji][Masterpiece]

    The books that really caught my eye this year are literary martial arts novels. I'm currently following every single one, although they've been going through a phase of filler lately, but that doesn't detract from the fact that they're still good books. As for the other books, they were all good ones I found by searching high and low, and they're all new books from this year. [Sparrow's Masterpiece][Sparrow's Masterpiece][Sparrow's Masterpiece]
