   The IQ and martial arts are both online, not the Holy Mother. The fourth book has a female protagonist, and the others are without cp. The third and fourth books are barely urban, and the remaining two are not, but they are very interesting. The protagonist of the first book is a mage who cannot melee and is not a qualified mage (it can also be said to be a melee master who knows spells). The second book is one where as long as the enemies are dealt with in advance, my teammates will not be injured, but the protagonist basically wanders alone with his weird friends, without forming a team, because his friends are all weird.
