    The ending was a bit too fast, but you could see the author's foreshadowing throughout, so it wasn't entirely unexpected; it just didn't end so quickly. The style in the later parts of the story was quite unique 🤣 The whole story was logical and well-reasoned (with two or three minor logical flaws, practically nonexistent), and the ending was predictable, yet it still had a refreshing feel to it. Also, the outline seemed well-written and stayed on track throughout. The writing style changed slightly in the middle, starting from when Ali left the border town. The female lead was indeed decisive and ruthless, which is rare. It was a semi-ensemble piece, but the pace was too fast later on, making the ensemble aspect less effective. And the "golden finger" (advantage point/cheat) was given a plausible setting 🤣 The author has written several interesting books; I'll definitely be following them.

    The first book features a villainous woman without a romantic partner. The second book has many villainous women, but some of the female characters have relationships with men. The female and male leads (they are not a couple, but from different generations) are relatively kind, but the whole book is quite dark, although the overall theme is uplifting. The third book features two madmen; the male and female leads are driven by pure hatred. It's very short, only a few chapters, but quite impactful.

    These are all novels without a romantic pairing: 1. The system sets the female lead's character as a villain, but she herself is a virtuous person turned evil. 2. A sophisticated egoist, which I really like; she doesn't show any saintly compassion when she's in dire straits. 3. Well, she has no morals and treats the male lead like a dog. 4. I've forgotten the plot of this one. You can check it out if you're interested. 5. This is my favorite and the first villainous female lead I read. It's a pretty satisfying novel; the female lead doesn't compromise herself in the slightest and isn't bound by hypocritical morality. I also really like the system in this story; the more immoral she is, the more points she gets. 6. This novel is similar to a revenge-driven novel; it's like the male lead's mistakes happen to him. It seems like a kind of irony, showcasing most of the toxic elements in female-oriented novels.
