   What I liked most about this book was that the author completely avoided any "weak woman" mentality. Just because the protagonist is a woman doesn't mean she should be called a fairy or goddess. Gods and fairies are genderless, and there's no primary gender assigned. The pacing is also good, without any dragging. Overall, it's a pretty good book.

   These four books are all ensemble pieces. In the first one, the female lead initially feigns madness to survive, but later becomes normal. The plot is quite good, and her interactions with her senior brother are also very enjoyable. The second book features a female lead with exceptional talent. Breaking through the barriers is easy, making it a pure, satisfying read. The premises are all excellent, but the author's writing style is a bit simplistic. The third book, "Ye Qiao," needs no introduction. It's incredibly good. The fourth book is a little angsty. That year's Heroes' Gathering produced seven champions.
