   The first book features a strong female protagonist who conquers infrastructure and vies for supremacy. Its strengths include treating all women equally and rewarding merit. A unique feature is her spatial ability containing various resources. The second book is a female protagonist survival story, starting slowly but improving significantly. The controversy lies in the author's writing style, which wasn't great in the early stages but improved in the later parts, with excellent foreshadowing. The third book is a female protagonist road trip survival story, undoubtedly excellent, though the ongoing serialization was frustrating, though it's now quite long. The fourth book is an idol novel, also featuring acting. Its strengths include the female protagonist's ability to charm fans and her diligence. She has a weakness in dancing but constantly practices. The controversy stems from a system that forces her to participate in a talent show, threatening her elimination if she doesn't. After successfully participating, the system disappears. The fifth book is another strong female protagonist story, with a compelling plot and is already completed, making it a satisfying read in one sitting. The sixth book is a novel where the female lead is exceptionally beautiful and possesses a system. However, her knowledge is acquired through self-study. The controversy stems from many people wanting her to regain her female identity, but anyone suggesting this is simply insane. Regaining her female identity back then would have been a crime of deceiving the emperor, and if exposed, all the examiners along the way would be condemned to hell. Also, when reading this novel, don't open the comments section, because you'll see a bunch of people who can't live without men pairing the 30-something-year-old female lead's master with her teenage sister. The seventh book is written in a somewhat simplistic style. Because the female lead is a middle school student, and due to the author's writing style, her personality is childlike. The overall tone is warm and adorable, with few quirky characters. Those interested can check it out. The eighth book is also a "feel-good" novel, featuring a disguised god. There's no revealing of her true identity, and no god-like characters engaging in ambiguous relationships with men. Although she's a disguised god, the female lead genuinely possesses extraordinary powers and a system. She also maintains a high level of sophistication and class very well. The 9th book features a female protagonist from the Dihua school of thought. She has a system, and the female protagonist is determined to give up because the system is a system for giving up, but she always ends up doing a lot of amazing things by accident. This book is about a horror game, so there are live-streaming segments. It's both funny and impressive, and the female protagonist has a very high-class demeanor. In other people's eyes, she is a pure and simple big shot. Book 10, a pure wish-fulfillment novel with a super powerful female lead. The female lead has three systems, a hidden identity, establishes a sect, and recruits disciples. My personal opinion on its drawbacks is that the supporting characters' names aren't very appealing, like "Xiao Huohuo" or something similar. If you're looking for a novel with a strong female lead and want a pure wish-fulfillment story without so many awful characters, this is a good choice. All of the above are non-romantic (｡- .•). Except for book 9, I've finished all the others ⌯ᵔᗜᵔ⌯ಣ, but book 9 is marked as non-romantic. By the way, waiting for updates is really agonizing (´o̴̶̷̤ㅂo̴̶̷̤`). I definitely prefer completed novels; they're so satisfying to read in one go ✌︎ ॑꒳ ॑✌︎

    This is the first female-centric novel I read on Tomato Bookstore, and it's incredibly good—completely unconventional. The author has a rich imagination, and the plot devices aren't overly overpowered. Everyone in the story is presumably female; the female lead isn't a saint, and there are no instances of her being disrespectful to her mother. Highly recommended! [Thumbs up]
