   Reader note

   This book is incredibly good! It features two strong protagonists, but leans towards a strong female lead. It's the best transmigration novel I've ever read. It includes a small ensemble cast, and the female lead is beautiful, cool, and has a very straightforward personality. She's vengeful and always seeks revenge. The author's writing is excellent. Bai Huang and Pu Pu grow up together, and the story encompasses family, friendship, and love. The writing is delicate. I've already read it four times. Come check it out!

   Reader note

   It's a great read. Lingyu travels through various dynasties, bringing better lives to the people. The Three Kingdoms period resonated with me the most. The female protagonist disguises herself as a man, traveling the land as a healer. She joins Liu Bei's camp, working alongside him to change the social conditions. She sees the cries of the people, the tears welling in their eyes beneath their white hair. The chaos of war has left countless people displaced, their families destroyed, while the powerful remain aloof, indifferent to everything. They treat the people as pawns, using the land they depend on for survival as a bargaining chip. The people's bones and blood have forged them, yet they turn around and look down on them. The female protagonist is truly a model citizen. She not only erases the injustices of history but also brings a better life to countless ordinary people, freeing their numb souls and giving them new hope. Finally, the author's writing is superb. It's neither too modern and jarring, nor too ancient and incomprehensible. The language is beautiful. I adore you!

    Reader note

    "I Actually Became a Top Player in the Cultivation World"—This time, cultivation doesn't require rushing; strength comes from arduous training. While others take three years to reach Foundation Establishment and five to reach Golden Core, the female protagonist, Ning Zhichu, spends decades cultivating on an island with her three spirit pets. Her loud and boisterous seven-colored parrot is willing to shield her from tribulations, the calm and collected little green snake stabilizes the situation for everyone, and the little squirrel silently transforms the heavenly lightning into nourishment for body refinement. Tribulations aren't trials torment, but rather touchstones to test the results of cultivation—if you can withstand them, your foundation is already solid; if you can withstand them easily, every step is taken without shortcuts. Here, there are no enemies created to humiliate you, only a genuine pursuit of the Great Dao; your sect doesn't hold you back, only exchanging insights and resources. When the restless cultivation world is obsessed with "killing enemies beyond your level" and "seizing treasures in secret realms," she and her spirit pets, through repeated seclusion and tribulations, temper their cultivation to an unshakeable level. "There are no shortcuts to ascension; only by proceeding slowly can one reach the farthest." If you're tired of formulaic comebacks and revenge stories, and yearn for a cultivation tale that truly relies on caution, strength, and companionship—then this book might just be the reassuring and heartwarming experience you're looking for. "I Actually Became a Big Shot in the Cultivation World," is written for cultivators who believe that "slow and steady wins the race."
