    Yeah, there are roughly three well-known ones, which I think can be considered ensemble stories. The final one, "The River of Destiny," is absolutely perfect, similar to "The Mysterious Abode," super amazing. Since it's a dungeon-like story, there are some fixed teammates, so I guess it counts as an ensemble story. For the first book, I suggest reading the synopsis first; it's guaranteed to be enjoyable. It's an ensemble story, truly capturing the youthful spirit. The second book is similar to the first, but I remember it wasn't supposed to be a dual-male-lead story. Why is it tagged this way? Maybe it's been changed. It feels relatively less exciting than the first one, a bit convoluted, but it can be a good substitute for a snack.

    Come check out "Friends' Mischief"... It's a no-romance story, a group of fifteen- or sixteen-year-old friends who bicker and act silly together. It's a ensemble piece where the four friends seem capable of anything when they're together... It gets better as you read on, the fight scenes are well-written, and there's even some parental love. The romance is a nice touch, especially in the side stories. The author's writing is truly excellent. The low rating is purely because the author is taking advantage of the situation. He deserves a higher rating!

Although the protagonist is a young girl, her older brothers, the Crown Prince, and others are all incredibly lifelike and wise.

    In this book, the male protagonist is reborn at the very beginning of the apocalypse and immediately kills his girlfriend, the school beauty who had wronged him for ten years. He's not a saint; he's decisive and ruthless. When others advise him to be kind, he betrays them with a single blow. Most importantly, there's no female lead. The protagonist is constantly leveling up and fighting monsters, which is incredibly satisfying. There are no transition periods; it's a non-stop climax.
