    Reader note

    Here's a list of things to avoid, and please correct me if I'm wrong: 1. A no-romance, action-packed ensemble piece. The team consists of 3 women and 3 men, each with unique and powerful personalities. The characters are very well-developed, and there doesn't seem to be a single, clearly defined villain (they're not all black and white). Things to avoid: ① Some inaccurate wording; ② The author has mentioned "pretending to be sweet" (it's unclear if this refers to actual romance or a reference to Down syndrome); ③ There are basically no romantic pairings in the book (those who don't ship characters can turn off comments, but some might find the main characters too strong); ④ The female lead is cat-like; ⑤ The main characters have overpowered abilities that allow them to fight beyond their level, which some might find too simplistic. 2. This book has a very novel premise: the female lead has a genius disorder and has never lost. She glows and likes to wear exhaust pipes. It's worth reading for its novel premise and the female lead's strength. Points to note (there might be quite a few): ① The author rushed the ending, leaving many plot holes unfilled. You can read the ending for the specific reasons. Some readers are debating whether there's a romantic pairing, which might affect the reading experience. However, I personally think it's because the world-building was too grand and couldn't be fully supported, and it has nothing to do with whether there's a romantic pairing. ② The emergency cooperation competition was a bit wordy. During the competition, the female lead was shown to be capable and decisive in killing "extremes," but after the competition, she resurrected all the people she had painstakingly killed. The conflict and turning point were too big and not handled well. ③ The author may prefer male-pursuing-female pairings and is deliberately guiding readers to ship the female lead as someone who is indifferent but the male lead is infatuated. However, I ship couples based on whether the female lead is willing or not, and the male and female leads have different perspectives, so personally, I only had a so-so reading experience. 3. I've read this book several times. The author loves the female lead very much and gives her the best. She's strong, capable, intelligent, brave, and has a positive outlook and doesn't suffer from internal conflicts. She also has a devoted male lead who is good at everything, both domestic and social, and has some fighting skills (not as strong as the female lead). There are some references and news events adapted into the book, as well as reflections on marital relationships. The girls in the variety show are all very nice people. Points to avoid: ① Several male characters are quite infuriating, the worst kind of men. Although the female lead doesn't suffer much from the author's treatment of them, they are very resilient and keep jumping around. ② The female lead has a verbal tic like saying "Your dad is here," but she also says "his dad's" and "Goddess" (she never says "TM" or "God"). The author didn't realize this verbal tic. 4. I've read many male-oriented novels about civilization revival, but this is relatively rare in female-oriented ones. The female lead is cheerful and grows, and she has a romantic partner. It's not the kind where China revives and then sweeps the world. Various civilizations are included, working together to fight against alien civilizations like the Zerg. The allusions and characters used are not commonplace. The female lead works very hard to revive Chinese civilization, not just focusing on romance. There's no male-stronger character. The author actually prefers a stronger female lead who dotes on the male lead. The young couple is quite cute. Points to avoid: ① The male lead is Western. ② The author writes about world peace, not global domination, and there's no distinction between superior and inferior civilizations. ③ There are more male than female main combat partners (can they be considered the main characters?), But many are in different locations. Otherwise, there are no major issues.

    1. The female protagonist started her business during the Great Depression, but she didn't suffer at all.

The female protagonist has an innate "first daughter" aura, meaning that no matter how many children she had before, her arrival automatically triggers the parents' perception that she is their first and only child, thus inheriting the family business in each world.
