   Reader note

   These two books with no romance are amazing! The first one is a transmigration novel with a system, a virtual screen in the sky where the female lead writes novels and acts like a madwoman (I think it's okay). Have you ever seen a novel where the female lead writes novels within a novel (on a virtual screen hanging in the sky, visible to everyone) and earns life points to influence the plot? I've never seen one before. The most I've seen before is a female lead writing novels to sell. To briefly introduce the plot, unlike this novel where the female lead writes a virtual screen novel and uses the people around her as inspiration to save them. This novel allows you to read two novels in one book at the same time. The virtual screen novel's plot is also very good. The second one, I'll say I've never seen anything like it: a meal replacement system, a villainous female lead, selfishness, the number one genius, a satisfying read, and no romance. In this era of great strife, chosen ones are everywhere. The female protagonist seizes their opportunities and kills them before they can fully develop. In her eyes, there's only a distinction between the useful and the useless. The chosen ones share some common tropes, such as the "useless to rise to power" trope with the ring-wearing old man, or the mind-reading trope. This is the first time I've seen so many elements in a single novel. I've considered writing something similar before, but unfortunately, I lack the writing skills. This author is truly amazing; her writing is excellent and unconventional. One particularly memorable plot point is that a group of villains reap what they sow—the female protagonist wipes out their entire family (she knows the tropes and wants to eliminate them completely, leaving no trace, yet even so, the result…). Then, one dark night after the female lead left, a child appeared at the scene of the massacre, vowing revenge. The next second, the female lead's henchmen killed him instantly, saying, "Just as the female lead predicted, there would be a survivor." Another plot point involves the female lead giving a choice between two candies: one for the chosen one, and the other for the chosen one's ambition and the other for the chosen one's cunning and ambition. Either way, the chosen one is deemed unsuitable for survival. Haha, this part was also quite interesting in the comments section. By the way, I really like this line from the story: "The truth will be forever buried, and the culprit will be elevated to a divine position." This is a story of villains, a story of selfish individuals who constantly climb the social ladder, using everyone as stepping stones. Love is secondary; power is paramount. In a world teeming with protagonists, they carve out their own niche for 'villains' and 'vicious female supporting characters.' And the final line at the end of the novel, "I am your perspective, but I have never been a good person," is absolutely amazing. It feels like the characters in the novel are talking to me. I won't say more; I highly recommend these two books, you absolutely must read them! Please! (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡

    The first book features a woman who is practically an "artist of robbery," adhering to a survival philosophy of ruthless opportunism. While her principles are flexible, she always manages to seize opportunities in the most unexpected ways. Unlike the tense atmosphere of typical treasure hunts, her journey is full of fun and ingenuity, effortlessly acquiring precious opportunities in a lighthearted and humorous atmosphere. There's no need for thrilling chases or dealing with ruthless villains; everything is under her control, displaying a calm and collected demeanor of "let the storms rage, the opportunity will ultimately fall into my hands." The story doesn't feature any villains that make you grit your teeth, only vivid and lively characters. The second book is a pure, refreshing, no-romance female-centric story! The female protagonist possesses a chaotic body and chaotic spiritual root, a double buff that defies the heavens. She is proficient in six arts: sword formations, talismans, pills, weapon crafting, and music. Her cultivation path is unstoppable, crushing everyone else with her absolute talent. She is clear-headed and insightful, neither a saint nor a hypocrite, with a moral compass as straight as a ruler, and acts decisively, showcasing her cool and capable nature. The diverse cast of senior brothers in the book are all vividly portrayed, without stereotypical characters or awkward, clichéd plots. There's no dragging or padding, only moments of triumph and triumph. Readers who enjoy pure, satisfying stories should definitely jump in immediately!

    Reader note

    1. The female protagonist transmigrates to a primitive tribe at a young age, possessing both courage and resourcefulness. She helps the small tribe grow and prosper through farming and infrastructure development. I especially love the mythological system in the story; it's ancient and mysterious. 2. This is an unconventional female-supporting cultivation novel. The female protagonist, with her argumentative system, is hilarious, opinionated, and hardworking. Her cultivation is steady and methodical, and each character's traits and personality are vividly portrayed. 3. A highly enjoyable female-centric novel. Not only are there mostly female characters, both main and supporting, but there's also no female rivalry. The later worlds get better and better, reaching a high level of quality.

    Reading this passage for the first time is like stepping into a long-sealed secret room. The mystery and tranquility permeating the text are overwhelming, drawing the reader in and stirring countless thoughts. "An old tungsten filament lamp, suspended by a black wire, hung in the center of the room, flickering a dim light"—this simple description is incredibly vivid. The old tungsten filament lamp evokes images of bygone eras, lighting tools from before the advancement of technology, carrying a retro charm. "Flickering a dim light" not only highlights the weakness of the light but also adds a touch of unease and mystery, as if the light might go out at any moment, plunging the entire room into endless darkness. This makes me wonder: what story is hidden beneath this dim light—a forgotten memory, or an unknown secret? "The tranquil atmosphere, like ink dripping into clear water, is spreading and diffusing throughout the room"—this sentence uses a brilliant metaphor to concretize the tranquil atmosphere. The slow, gradual diffusion of ink into water perfectly mirrors the pervasive stillness of the room. This description vividly conveyed the profound silence, making me feel as if I could clearly hear my own breathing. In such tranquility, one's thoughts become unconsciously sensitive and delicate, as if one can perceive every subtle change in the air. "In the very center of the room stood a large, weathered round table, upon which sat a small, intricately patterned clock, ticking away." The weathered table bears the marks of time; how many people has it witnessed, how many stories have it experienced? And the intricately patterned clock, ticking in the silent room, is not merely a symbol of the passage of time…
