   Reader note

   These books are all excellent!!! The first one: A Western fantasy ensemble piece, where villains redeem each other and achieve self-realization. The writing is excellent, especially the self-narrations; everyone has their own story. The second one: Interstellar, exceptionally good!!! With flesh and blood, they recreate the dawn! The spirit of dawn reminds me of our ancestors; they were all great people. The third one: Magic School, the female lead, Li Wenyin, is particularly good! Original text: "Yu Chiquan's writing is sharp, concise, and incisive, like a predictive judgment for them. Writing Li Wenyin's judgment took Yu Chiquan a long time. After finishing it, I read it again. The judgment doesn't feel like a judgment, the conclusion doesn't feel like a conclusion. It's like a heartfelt and passionate hymn of praise." The fourth one: Who Understands the Three Musketeers, bickering together, yet with a hint of powerlessness. Original text: They didn't know how long this youthful tranquility would last, perhaps short, perhaps long. Years later, when they suddenly look back, will they still remember this autumn that belonged to them, the autumn of their youth? Books 5 and 6: Written by the same author, welcome to Cheng Ya's cultivation world. This book is different from other cultivation ensemble books; it doesn't feature a single female protagonist and a bunch of fellow disciples. Both are noisy and chaotic; when separated, they are renowned throughout the land, but when united, they are a mess. The sects in both books are excellent, giving a sense of family; they betray each other internally but protect each other externally. Books 7 and 8: "Young Master Yi" really made me cry; Young Master Yi, you have no heart! Beneath the humorous writing lies a sad story. Every time I reread it, seeing those characters feels like a revolving lantern. The completed one has a happy ending; I don't know about the unfinished one. These books are truly my treasures; ensemble stories are always the best.

   This is an ensemble piece of fast-paced, action-packed fiction with no romantic pairings. The brothers from Qingzhou follow the protagonist relentlessly, striving in the military, the court, and even overseas, always aiming to carve out a path for him. The protagonist fights his way through, ultimately becoming emperor himself. The plot is fast-paced and very enjoyable. The protagonist never kills innocent people; he leaves no survivors. Xie Fen, the esteemed minister beside the protagonist, is also quite handsome.

    Here comes the ensemble cast: 1. The entire team loves the female lead (in various ways). Even those lacking skills have their merits, not to mention the skilled members. They absolutely adore the atmosphere of Black Wind Stronghold. 2. This one's familiar, right? Quan Yin 99. Honestly, I really like Vice-President Ji Mo. I won't elaborate much on this one. 3. The male lead is definitely good at catching mistresses. The female lead is a witch who can have many male concubines, but there can only be one king, and taking a male concubine requires the king's consent. However, the female lead is irresponsible; if she is, she only makes the male lead her male concubine. Therefore, the male lead has to fight tooth and nail to take her place. 4. A silly cultivation novel; the hanging rope is so cute! What a novel setting! She even heals the second senior brother's leg, all for the sake of "stealing" his wheelchair. I finished reading it a long time ago, so I won't say more. 5. Early on, it's a lone wolf story; later it's a team battle. The game dungeon settings are very novel, using common games from reality. Each dungeon isn't too long (to put it simply, it's not a long, tedious mess, avoiding getting bored halfway through—I have this problem with reading books). 6. Seemingly a soul-transmigration story, it's actually the older sister finding her soul in another world. She also helps her sister get rid of those annoying people. Later, the entire team awakens their second sequence, and the female lead even reaches zero sequence. 7. This one needs no introduction, it's a huge hit, highly recommended. 8. Chi Miao's book is genuinely funny in the beginning, but the later parts are truly heart-wrenching. It's about paving the way through countless lifetimes and defying fate, highly recommended. 9. A very novel book, with human followers and a lover, ultimately following in the footsteps of Boss Lele to return them to the human world. I'm tired, I won't say more, anyway, the later books are also very good.

    The first book is highly recommended and very good. The second book is about growing up from childhood; the female lead is very talented, as are her companions (though not as talented as her). It's an ensemble piece, depicting their shared cultivation and growth from a young age. The master is also a very kind person. The third book is also quite good. The female lead initially couldn't cultivate but was very skilled at alchemy. She joined the sect to accompany her younger sister but met several companions there. They journeyed together, and the female lead later recovered, becoming able to cultivate with exceptional talent. She's gentle but ruthless towards her enemies. The male lead is also great—powerful and devoted. The female lead's father is the family's high priest, and both she and her father are skilled in divination. They later learn this is their third life. In the first life, she couldn't find her sister, who eventually became a demon. The second life was similar; the female lead sacrificed herself for the sake of the world, her sister became a demon out of grief, and her companions became taciturn. Ultimately, it didn't end well.

On the seventh day after her death, Yao Wan rises from the grave. Fr 4.5kReads9.4Score668Shelves

    The ensemble cast is the best!!! They're all so touching. My personal favorite is the third book, "For the Dawn of the World, Upholding Justice—Li Fu!!!" The other books are also great. In the first book, the senior sister is forever the senior sister. Every character shines, and I'm always moved by their emotional bonds!!! On this day, someone outside the mortal world shattered the shackles that fell from the sky for them. On this day, someone inside the mortal world healed their ailments and dispelled their misfortunes…

    The first post-apocalyptic novel is highly recommended; it's very good, and the female lead has a very unique style. The second is a cultivation novel, almost finished, with a very high theme, and it's non-romantic, so don't get carried away with shipping. The female lead is incredibly strong. The third is a fanfiction featuring the boy band TNT (Teens in Times), so don't read it. The fourth is also a post-apocalyptic novel but incorporates time travel elements. It's a four-person group, and each member is very well-developed. There are no tragic elements in the plot. If you don't like angst, you can read the fourth one. I'll briefly mention the first two; the third one updates slowly but is still very good.

    These books are absolutely amazing!! Books 1 and 2 are by the same author, a master of ensemble writing. Book 1 is set in a cultivation world, with a feel of infinite flow adventures, and the female lead is wicked yet righteous. Book 2 features a righteous yet wicked female lead in a post-apocalyptic setting, a relatively novel concept. Both books have tight plots, constant climaxes, distinct main characters, some heart-wrenching moments, many plot twists, and numerous foreshadowing elements, all of which are resolved. Book 3 is an infinite flow novel where the main characters are a chosen 18th-tier girl group. Many scenarios reflect real-world issues, showcasing a very imaginative and well-developed plot. The story includes national divisions, foreign boy and girl groups, and scenes of teamwork and unity. Books 4, 6, and 8 are all campus novels. Book 4 has more characters, so you might not remember some, but each character has a backstory, and the focus isn't solely on the main character. 6 And 8 have fewer main characters, making them easier to remember. 6 Has a time-travel element; the main plot revolves around the female protagonist traveling through time to save her brother. 8'S main plot involves top students meeting and progressing together on a learning app. 5 Is a Western fantasy school setting with many characters, some with difficult-to-remember names, but a good plot with many climaxes. The main characters' transition from initial animosity to later cooperation is natural, and each character has a unique story and diverse personalities. 7 Has a slightly silly element, but the later development is unique and a bit unpredictable. I finished this one a long time ago, so my memory is unclear, and saying more might be misleading. Please read the synopsis. The above are all personal opinions; individual reading experiences vary, so choose what you like best. Recommendation: If you have access to a live audiobook, give it a try! (OS: I've only listened to the first two so far because I don't usually listen to live audiobooks (◞‸◟), but I highly recommend the second one with a live audiobook—it's incredibly immersive and emotionally engaging.) Remember to read the synopsis before reading! Check for any potential triggers!
