   Highly recommended! They're all hilarious and absurd, except for the last two. The ensemble cast is very strong. The first book features a dramatic scene: "A deafening roar in the sky, Chun Jin's life ends on the spot." The second book has a main couple, but it's negligible because the main characters are all self-made. "I remain true to my name, Ye Linglong of the Qingxuan Sect." The third book features the line: "My name is Chi Miao, Chi Miao meaning 'unimpeded and boundless,' Chi Miao meaning 'can return to its source.'" The fourth book is about "A lightning tribulation cleaves the secret realm; my name is Ye Qiao, remember that." The fifth book is a completely satisfying read, swift and decisive, with characters ridiculously strong: "You and I are inherently opposed; there's no need for pretense. If it weren't for Heaven's favor, I should have been the protagonist." The sixth book features the line: "My name is Lin Du, Du meaning 'to save others and oneself.'" "Destiny has commanded me to save people from dire straits; if you don't pity me, then find someone else."

    These books are all incredibly good! No romance + ensemble cast + top masters from various sects – perfectly matching the titles!!! Friends who are passing by, don't miss them!!! Trust my judgment, these books are truly excellent. The authors' writing is superb, and the content is very original!!! The first book: 21 more people have joined the list of young prodigies, giving the seniors a huge shock. I saw no one recommending it, so I'm recommending it. The later parts are simply dazzling with stars, okay? (Crawling in the shadows) No one can be missing. The female lead is absolutely amazing! I'm so envious of the fourth senior brother, Gu Qianche's, lively personality, and his like-minded brothers. The author's writing is exceptionally good with few typos. Heaven knows I dreamt about this group of people getting together again at night, laughing and chatting, recording other aspects with a recording stone. I love it so much!!! 💓💓 The second book: A nurturing story, no romance in the main text. The female lead's journey isn't smooth sailing; she experiences twists and turns in her growth, but she's still a very strong character!!!! A perfect match with the other four members!!! The author's writing is also excellent!! The third book: I absolutely burst out laughing. It's a truly absurd story, featuring an ensemble cast and no romantic pairings.

    Reader note

    I haven't read the first book with a female protagonist and no romantic pairing yet. The second book is a micro-ensemble piece. The third book is a villainous, self-serving story. The fourth book is also a micro-ensemble piece, but mainly revolves around the female protagonist. The fifth book is an ensemble piece, but the content is very abstract and silly.
