    These are all great reads. Some have romantic pairings, some don't, and they're all ensemble pieces. The first book has a very novel theme; I really enjoy this kind of mystical crime-solving, and the interactions between the non-romantic protagonists and their families are hilarious. The second book has a romantic pairing; the female lead transmigrates to a game world and must help the original female lead achieve a happy ending before she can leave. During this time, she meets many like-minded friends. The third book is a space-themed novel with no romantic pairing—Dawn's Strongest Five Swordsmen is absolutely amazing! They're all great, but there are too many to list, so I highly recommend everyone read them all! I guarantee you'll be satisfied.

The third is Chi Miao's cultivation novel, mainly focusing on the group of geniuses resolving crises and their identities. The world-building is quite large, and there's no romantic pairing. The fourth is Lin Du's cultivation novel. Many foreshadowing elements are revealed later in the chapters and side stories. The world-building is also good, and there is a romantic pairing (but they appear very rarely in the story, mainly to provide opportunities). The fifth is Xie Qing's cultivation novel, which is more slice-of-life and quite crazy. The female lead is either dying or on the verge of death, and there's no romantic pairing. The sixth is Sheng An's apocalyptic novel. The female lead is very strong, even without superpowers. There are many foreshadowing elements, and the later parts are a bit angsty. It's divided into three lifetimes that need to be understood. The world-building is quite large, and there is a romantic pairing (either two strong characters, or the female lead is always weaker than the male lead, or the female lead is deliberately emphasized; both are very strong). The seventh book is a cultivation novel by Baili Fuxi, where the female lead also has a special identity, progresses through realms quickly, and has a slight ensemble cast. There is a romantic pairing. The eighth book is a space-time novel by Jiang Lin, set in interstellar space, featuring the five strongest swordsmen of Dawn. The world-building is vast, and there is no romantic pairing. The ninth book is a cultivation novel by Sang Nian, which is a time-travel story. It gets a bit angsty in the middle and later parts, but has a happy ending. It has a slight ensemble cast and a romantic pairing. The tenth book is a cultivation novel by Ye Qiao, which is generally lighthearted and has no romantic pairing.

    My first book on niche cultivation ensemble novels is incredibly original. The plot is anything but cliché, and the names of all the main characters, supporting characters, and sects are fantastic. It's also incredibly mind-bending. I've never taken notes while reading cultivation ensemble novels; everyone is such a wonderful bunch of adorable little creatures. One of the things that really appeals to me is the lack of melodramatic plot twists like stealing items or sect competitions. When facing opponents, everyone gives their all, never underestimating them, and afterwards, they happily exchange pleasantries. And it's not just one or two characters; almost everyone is like that. The novel also has tons of plot twists: the main characters, inner demons, the Heavenly Dao, and the Buddhist realm – one twist after another. While the romance between the male and female leads is limited, it doesn't feel forced at all. The second book features a female protagonist who single-handedly influences everyone, not just those in her own sect, but also those in other sects. From the patriarchs to the disciples, everyone's mental state becomes remarkably advanced. Even the Buddhist monks... [The characters have all become sarcastic], the male and female leads are super adorable, the male lead is the female lead's contracted beast. The third book: the female lead is reborn and saves her junior sisters. It's not that the female lead revolves around men and acts as their blood bag, but that every girl has her own protagonist life. Xiaoyu became the empress and founded the National Academy. "What my heart loves is only my country, what my heart desires is only the nation." Shanshan travels around healing people, regardless of race.

They did everything they could, but in the end, the senior brother died in battle, and the male lead was sealed. The snowfield doll is still waiting for them to return to see spring, because the senior brother once said: "Wait for your brother to come back and take you to see spring." The little fox is also waiting for her great-father, but when she came out as the fox clan ancestor, when she died protecting the Great Dao Monument, she never saw him again. In the end, everyone went to the snowfield, took the little fox's memorial tablet, and went to send a spring breeze to the doll.
