    The first book, [Flying Kiss], is highly recommended if you like fast-paced, action-packed novels!

The female lead starts out as a blank slate, but through her interactions with her teammates, her life becomes vibrant and colorful, no longer monotonous. She has friends, but peaceful times are rare. Everyone bravely fights to protect the peace of the interstellar space: the Freedom Team, the Study Abroad Team, and the 3S Team—super, super, super good friendships! The second book, [Understood], features a team full of brilliant minds, each one a hidden gem, with a complete combat strength. The prophetic backlash is also well-constructed. The third book, [Attention], features Song Li! The brains of the team, capable of leading the team to the death, haha. The villain's character is also quite compelling, with a brilliant mind! A four-person team of independent cultivators bravely ventures into the world of cultivation. Every dungeon is exciting, and thanks to the lively characters Lu and Jiang, it's all relaxed and enjoyable. The fourth book, [Sparrow's Masterpiece], features Gu Qinghuan, a radiant female protagonist who is the center of the team, the guiding light for her friends, and the firefly illuminating the darkness. She's also incredibly shrewd and has impeccable values! She's like a blazing sun in the cold light! Everyone is the protagonist of their own world; if you want to be, you are.

    Don't be fooled by the title into thinking it's about one person; it's actually an ensemble piece. It's already completed, and the author did a fantastic job developing the characters. It's a really good book. The author even added a side story for those characters whose fates were left hanging, and everyone has a happy ending. All the plot holes are filled. This book is excellent. Writing this review brought back memories of the story, and it brought tears to my eyes.

    This work is a pleasant surprise. There are no contrived pairings, so you don't have to worry about the romance. It's not a typical transmigration story either. All the characters are intelligent and don't act stupidly. The fact that it even dares to include a scene where the female lead is killed is a huge surprise. The disciples of each sect are vividly portrayed, and the plot moves smoothly and steadily throughout without any filler. While reading, you'll be completely immersed and won't want to stop.
