   The first book is a space mecha novel, absolutely amazing! It's not finished yet, so I don't know if there's a couple. Everyone in the story is incredibly powerful, creating a very strong ensemble cast. The second book is a pure "feel-good" novel, really satisfying. There are no scheming or manipulative elements; the female lead is constantly slapping others in the face. If you feel your life lacks a bit of excitement, I recommend this one. The third book is a redemption novel, a very ensemble piece about redemption. If you like stories where the female lead redeems others and discovers they're all powerful figures, check this one out. The fourth book wasn't called this before, but it's absolutely incredible! I've read it five times already. It has a little bit of angst, but it has very realistic cultivation elements. The fifth ensemble piece is quite angsty; the female lead dies once and becomes everyone's ideal woman, but not in a way that's filled with regret. She's just someone who was very kind to her before her death and even kinder afterward. It includes a cast of characters with distinct personalities. The sixth book is purely a female-centric, satisfying read, and it's a cultivation novel. The female lead cultivates in multiple areas and excels in each, making it a very unconventional ensemble piece. The last book is incredibly angsty, very similar to the fifth. The female lead also dies once, has a romantic partner, and becomes some kind of ideal woman in the cultivation world after her death. Those who like this kind of story can check it out.

   They're all ensemble dramas, with female protagonists of the Beagle type. Books seven, eight, and nine, especially the ensemble ones, were really good—I loved them!

   These two ensemble novels are absolutely fantastic! (≥▽≤)☆ The author's writing is superb!! The first one is an ensemble novel about a five-person team, no romance, featuring school competitions, and each character has their own story! I absolutely love it, and I especially love this author's writing! The second one is a space-themed supernatural novel, no romance, also ensemble-oriented, with the main character possessing a space-age ability. The supernatural powers are beautifully described, and all the plot holes from the beginning are filled in. I really hope the author will release a new book soon! Both books have excellent writing and incredibly smooth logic. I really enjoy them. You can read the first chapter and the synopsis to avoid any potential pitfalls!

The recommended reading order is to read the first book first, then the sixth, and then the second, so the plots flow smoothly. Book 3, "Lin Du, the 'Du' in 'Du Ren Du Ji' (meaning 'to ferry others and oneself'), although there is a romantic pairing, the relationship is very subtle. It's also an ensemble story. Book 4 is a cultivation/fantasy novel. Although it's labeled as fantasy romance, it's a no-romance story. It's extremely good, although there aren't many books, it's really good. Book 5 is a space-themed novel. The main characters are a four-person team, but there is a romantic pairing, though it's not within the team.

    These books are all incredibly popular. The first one, which I've been following recently, is about a group of four idol girls participating in a series of supernatural adventures. Almost every arc is brilliantly written, with a great premise and excellent writing style. The second one is a Western fantasy novel where everyone seems like a villain (from an outsider's perspective). Their interactions, especially with their teachers, are very heartwarming and delicately written. There are some foreshadowing elements, but they're all resolved later. The writing is also excellent. The later books are all about cultivation and ensemble casts, and the writing is generally very good. This is the last one; the author isn't updating anymore, but the writing is still good.
