    A group story with a strong female lead, superpowers, and a sect. Early on, the characters are incredibly satisfying to slap in the face, but later it becomes slightly angsty. The main group consists of six people: three old foxes, one little fox, one innocent puppy, and one slightly cunning little rabbit (in my opinion). None of the main characters are weak or easy to deal with. The female lead is extremely protective and seeks revenge immediately. The author updates twice daily, and will take leave if necessary. A truly amazing and delicious story; I'd be heartbroken if anyone hadn't read it.

    The ensemble cast is always vibrant and dynamic, absolutely! Who says cultivating immortality has to be a bitter and vengeful affair? The eight major sects aren't the kind of backstabbing, hostile relationships you'd expect. The eight sects here are practically a "harmonious" family (not really): they might verbally clash, but in reality, they're always protecting each other. So, our disciples from the eight sects, along with the Buddhist disciples from Shanyuan Temple and the Buddhist nuns from Nieye Tower, just let loose! Especially when facing external enemies, their teamwork is incredible! (Check out the latest plot: disciples from the eight sects, Buddhist disciples and nuns vs. The five young masters of the demon race! Don't miss the excitement!) There's no backstabbing, no stabbing in the back, only the unwavering protection of "only we can criticize our own people," and the tacit understanding of "after a fight (basically just kids bickering), we'll fight monsters together." This is the most authentic ensemble cast in cultivation novels—noisy and boisterous, yet always standing together. There's no female rivalry (both the original female leads are good girls, no female rivalry! Girls are the cutest!). What touched me most was that the female characters in the book are all incredibly normal and adorable! There really is no female rivalry! None of the eight female disciples are romantically involved; there are no melodramatic misunderstandings, only unity against a common enemy. One second they're undermining each other, the next they'll go through fire and water for each other. This is the kind of youthful ensemble we want to see! Bright, vibrant, and full of youthful spirit! Long live friendship! Then there's the matter of the Eight Sects' Mid-Autumn Festival team building. All eight sects' disciples gathered, dressed in a riot of colors – a veritable human rainbow. While each of these handsome men and beautiful women is individually attractive, together they form a… well, let's just say it's like a mixed vegetable stew. And then there's the erhu and suona playing on the street in the middle of the day. First up is our Huanyin Sect's chief disciple, who performs "Erquan Yingyue" (Moon Reflected in the Second Spring), followed by Lingyun's fourth disciple, Ji Chaobai, playing the suona. As soon as "Erquan Yingyue" stops, the remaining three Huanyin disciples immediately follow with a wedding tune. Then there's a special appearance by a disciple – Lu Xiuyuan (Huanyin Sect's only sword cultivator) who plans to cosplay a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll). Jiyue's chief disciple, Xu Xingzhi, remarked: "First Song Zhehan and Ji Chaobai went to their funerals, then Mo Chaoyu, Su Xi, and Chi Yang got married…" "Tsk, your sect is really playing tricks." Lu Xiuyuan: "Sending me to my funeral, arranging my ghost marriage, is this Mid-Autumn Festival or Ghost Festival?!" Meanwhile, our Chief Lord of Ten Thousand Swords, Li Chou, holding a Xuan Sword, separated them all, "It's the middle of the day, don't disturb the peace." Although the disciples have some mental issues, they still have a sense of morality. These disciples have turned Mid-Autumn Festival into Ghost Festival. From a cultivator's perspective: Who celebrates the Ghost Festival during Mid-Autumn Festival? (Seeing the video uploaded by a kind person (Ji Fuyuan, Junior Sister of Changning) on ​​the forum) I understand, it turns out they are disciples having an episode~ Oh well. Look, look, they're used to it. These days, who doesn't go crazy when cultivating immortality? If you don't go crazy, you might as well commit suicide and ascend to heaven. The mental state of these disciples is far ahead! (A group of handsome men and beautiful women are not following the looks route, but the "abstract" style route) This isn't just one person's celebration, but a group of incredibly energetic companions! Everyone's a comedian, there are no mere plot devices. This isn't just a one-woman show by the female lead; the entire group of disciples from the eight sects are a bunch of incredibly energetic young people! You won't find a single serious person. This is a vibrant portrait of the cultivation world—everyone is indispensable, each a king individually, but invincible together (a bunch of childish rascals, a close-knit family). Every character is fleshed out, not just background. Everyone's intelligent, and the humor is plentiful. But the best part of this book isn't just the female lead's madness, but the entire group's collective madness! The author's character development is incredibly meticulous, not just simple labeling. Each person has their own preferences, behaviors, and experiences, making them believable and incredibly engaging! I sincerely recommend it to everyone, and please support our author's other works! Wishing everyone reading happiness and good fortune every day! 🥰 Enjoy your reading, this way please~

    New book!!! Still being serialized!!! I know everyone has already read the classics, and I'm too lazy to waste your time. I looked around and no one recommended this one, so here it is! In the early stages, the female lead is still adapting and seems weak, but she becomes incredibly powerful later on! (She's a transmigrator, lacks mental power, and in an era where everyone has mental power, she relies solely on her talent to dominate the entire intergalactic world). If you can't accept a protagonist with a growth phase, proceed with caution. Let me briefly mention what I think is excellent: the author's de-gendering is very successful. Sometimes you think someone is male but they're female, and vice versa. This book doesn't emphasize gender, nor does it pander to men or women. Everyone is drawn to strength. Many people initially disliked the female lead, but after being defeated by her, they admired her greatly. There's no twisted mentality from losing, and the supporting characters aren't made less intelligent. These two points alone surpass 90% of Tomato's books! I won't elaborate further; just read a few chapters and you'll know if it's your cup of tea. Unless there are fundamental issues, I hope everyone won't be overly critical of a book based on their own preferences. After all, this is a fantasy novel. I hope my recommendation is helpful!
