    (I've read so many novels on Tomato, and they even lured me in with the label of "ensemble piece," but it wasn't at all. Even if it's an ensemble piece, you can't just have the protagonist with his companions, a whole group of people walking together. Even if it is, you have to give the others their moment to shine. While they are strong, their strength is only there to highlight the protagonist's absurd power. The whole story felt like I knew the others were strong, but I couldn't pinpoint why. I even knew they were strong only because of sentences like, "While the protagonist is ridiculously strong, don't forget they're also geniuses, just not as strong as him." Plus, because it's a comedy, it's full of jokes, which I don't really like. No matter who the villain is, they all have to be funny. The whole story is still enjoyable, but it's been overhyped, and I was tricked into reading it.)

    I absolutely love ensemble dramas!! A group of elites from Beijing's elite circles, business tycoons, and rising literary talents come together. It may seem like a glamorous, decadent world of fame and fortune, but in reality, everyone is soberly focused on their careers! Every female character is vibrant and independent. There's no cutthroat competition or love-struck silliness; the tacit understanding between childhood sweethearts and the exhilarating feeling of powerful alliances are simply amazing. The genuine sobriety, independence, and overwhelming female strength are truly incredible!
