    This is an ensemble piece with no romantic pairings, featuring a rapidly growing team that grows stronger quickly, with virtually no frustrating moments. "What Black Smoke Cult Leader? She's clearly our auspicious evil spirit!" The female lead is melancholic with naturally large dark circles under her eyes, radiating a deathly aura that makes you want to sprinkle rice on her to ward off evil. Her skills are increasingly sinister 😂, later evolving into a dark version of the Somersault Cloud mount combined with a bone throne 😂. Enemies within her cloud's range desperately want to die, and allies gain three heads and two extra lives 😂. It's incredibly fun. The teammates' skills are also quite interesting. There's a frequently appearing, seemingly male lead but with no romantic development 🤡 (no romantic partner, and their relationship never develops). There's a male version of a flower fairy who carries a whole outfit full of bugs, a female version of a six-armed deity, and an incredibly goofy guy who keeps cutting off his own upper arm to attack enemies 😂. There's also a mechanical genius who's haunted by a female ghost, and a male mom who plays with spellbooks 😂. Threatening teammates only requires saying, "I'm not cleaning your house anymore!"

    It's a micro-group story, a very enjoyable female survival novel with a strong female protagonist who grows and develops. The protagonist isn't a saint; she's decisive and ruthless, but also kind. The overall setting is quite novel: a treehouse where humans coexist, and so far, no substitutes have been found. The team's maximum size of 20 people is very reassuring (it seems easy to manage). However, the treehouse survival setting and the project team members (especially the limbs and eyes and ears) somehow give me a feeling of simple, hardworking farmers (not really). The key point is that it's an all-female team! So female-friendly! They even consciously use a lot of female-specific terms (is that what they call it?). There are many female characters, and the author's character development is excellent, with many highlights and well-rounded characters. The plot is very enjoyable, and the foreshadowing is perfectly placed, making it very engaging. The author's writing style is also very good, and it's easy to see the overall progress and refinement of the story. I feel that the world-building and other aspects will likely expand later on (I guess). I absolutely adore Nyx, the little black sheep! His interactions with the female lead are so heartwarming, he's just so adorable! Highly recommend! You won't regret it! (^O^) *The plot might be a bit slow, with a lot of scenes of him tearing apart nasty men and chatting in the world chat early on. Also, the author might not be in a great mood these days; please ignore the punctuated content as it won't affect your enjoyment.)
