    Here it comes, a 500-word long review! [Kiss][Top][Already hooked][Added to bookshelf][Attention] 1. The first book is 1vN, female lead is a female-centric protagonist, the logic is very smooth, and it's so sweet it makes me feel at ease. There's no female lead's conquest plot (I think conquest is using methods to obtain affection or money, etc.). In the first chapter, it's written that the female lead obtains wealth, fortune, company, villa, etc. By advancing the story. The contrast between the male leads is particularly endearing. There are some love triangles, but they're not many; maybe there will be more later. 2. The second book is Bubble's new book, a female lead with no romantic partner, a team-oriented story, more of an ensemble piece. It's the best road trip survival book (including male-oriented ones), especially the interactions with NPCs. It really shows emotional intelligence. No one stays overnight, no one dies and comes back to life, no enemy runs away because of a mistake. It's exciting yet logical. 3. The third book is highly recommended! "Drinking and Singing is the Best Way to Be a Star!" Lone Wolf, with ensemble cast, please note—enemies are not killed at the beginning, there is cooperation with the official team but no involvement, those comments saying it gets worse later are from a long time ago, God's Game is the pinnacle, the building blocks in the Foolish Restaurant are all killer moves for me and Area A, and my cat is also a top-level chef; 4. The fourth book, Rules of the Strange, emphasizes logic, you can't tear the strange things apart by hand, you have to use your brain, I personally think the symbiotic dungeon is amazing, a female protagonist ensemble cast with no romantic pairing, national destiny, the country doesn't hold you back, and there's no deliberate expression of patriotism; 5. The fifth book, just to make up the numbers, in case the author is male; 6. The sixth book is still a very new book, female protagonist controls 1vN, male conquers female, still the contrast I love, side quest death escape, the next side quest is still connected, of course, this book will take a long time to grow, only one is finished, but it's worth a try, I hope the author doesn't go astray.
