    All three novels were incredibly enjoyable, I loved them. The first one was more of an ensemble piece with a romantic pairing. The female lead was a bit slow-witted, a top genius, and the senior disciple of her sect. The male lead cultivated like crazy every day, afraid of not being able to catch up with her. The female lead was incredibly righteous but not a saint or aggrieved; she always stood up for what was right, giving off a chivalrous vibe. The second and third novels were both without a romantic pairing. The female leads were both villainous and incredibly strong. However, in the second novel, the female lead was from the demon race, so her evil was outwardly displayed. She also had two very funny disciples, constantly drawing hatred from the entire cultivation world, who wanted nothing more than to get rid of her. In the third novel, the female lead appeared to be the kind and innocent Holy Maiden of the Nan family, but in reality, she did all the things villains do, stealing opportunities from the chosen ones every day and leading her family to grow stronger.

    For female-centric novels, I recommend these three: the first has no main couple, the second has a small romantic pairing, and the third is all about the main couple—they're present from the beginning, so there's no need to over-describe their romantic relationship; it just focuses on the ensemble cast. All three are truly excellent.
