   Book 1: No romantic pairing, a female-centric ensemble novel. The protagonist starts as a lone wolf and gradually builds a team. My reading experience can be summed up in one word: "satisfying." The protagonist is decisive and intelligent, without any saintly sentimentality. I personally can't see any flaws yet. Some characters also have unexpected twists. The reading experience is very smooth. (The horror element in the first book is not strong, suitable for those who like to read about strong female protagonists fighting monsters and leveling up.) Book Two: No romantic pairing, an ensemble piece featuring all female protagonists (a point that deserves high praise is the author's core concept; the core of each story is incredibly detailed and exquisitely crafted). The reading experience is smooth, and the theme of a team performing a song is something I rarely see, which is very interesting. The way the beginning and end echo each other is also brilliant. After reading several stories, my feeling was one of "Oh, I see." (This book is the familiar rule-based mystery, and the core concept is truly outstanding.) One thing I don't like: Please update faster, I can't get enough! 😢 [Requesting more updates!] 😢 [Requesting more updates!] 😢 [Requesting more updates!]

   The female protagonist is bound to a crime-solving system and is required to solve murder cases in another world. She then turns around and hands the system and herself over to the government. I was even a little afraid to listen to the cases alone at night. She's not incredibly skilled from the start; she's just an ordinary person who gradually accumulates experience.
