I’ve been in a reading slump lately. I’m not in the mood for feel-good stories, silly comedies, sweet romances, or angst. Please recommend some well-written ensemble casts and slice-of-life stories. I’d prefer a female protagonist, but a male protagonist is fine too, as long as it’s well written. Most importantly, no romance or pairings of any kind: no male-female, male-male, or female-female couples.

Reader note
These two books are part of a series, and the story inside is composed of a short story. The heroine accidentally lost the Hundred Demons Book, so she and the little monk embarked on a journey to find the Hundred Demons Book. During the journey, they encountered many monsters, and these monsters all have their own stories. These stories are a bit sadistic. The characters are real, but they are both very touching and sincere. The first two books are more everyday, and the latter two may have some fighting series plots. As the heroine is a ghost doctor in Taodu, I think this identity is very satisfying, and it is not a brainless plot. It may make people read it. I recommend it [Send my heart][Send my heart][Send my heart]
