   I found this to be a very interesting infinite flow novel, especially since it features a rare female protagonist—a pure female lead, not a male-to-female transmigration story. Many of the settings are novel, avoiding overused tropes (like the classic ghost story of the Duke and Duchess of the Castle, which I've seen in at least ten novels, though most have some edits, it's still a bit tiresome). While maintaining novelty, the update speed is incredibly fast, and the author doesn't waste time with unnecessary details. Like a ruthless word-writing robot. The author seems very obedient; there seemed to be a hint of a romantic pairing at first, but that was dropped after some objections. The writing is very satisfying, the swagger is well-executed, and the later analysis is very detailed. Every time I read the earlier chapters, I wondered how the ending would be resolved, and then I'd see the readers launching into their analyses. I'm already on edge, hoping it won't have a bad ending; I'm really looking forward to how this story will conclude.

   They're all this type, but it seems the authors often stop updating because there aren't enough readers. Go support them! I personally think they meet your requirements, but it still depends on your own preferences. The last one is somewhat related, and I think it's quite good too; you can give it a try. (If they don't meet your expectations, please forgive me. I also really like this type of story; I've been searching for these for a long time 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
