   This is a medium-length story about a female protagonist who frequently encounters supernatural events due to the arrival of a demon cat. Through her investigations, she uncovers the mastermind behind these events and ultimately achieves a satisfying revenge with her wisdom and the help of her companions. Each event is very interesting, and importantly, it's a work by the author "Lajifen," so you can read it without worry.

   I'm currently following the serialization. The author is really good at creating plot points, making the reading process very enjoyable and pleasant. The plot is smooth, the development is reasonable, and it's enjoyable with a touch of suspense. It's a Cthulhu fantasy novel with a strong female protagonist (Note: it's an all-female novel, meaning the entire world is female with virtually no men. The reader comments are also a bit aggressive, so if you can't accept that, it's best to block the comments). Another point is that, apart from the main character, other characters in this novel are very likely to die.

The group wasn’t famous, but it talked big, calling itself “the Gods.” All fourteen bosses claimed to be deities, yet they expected Chu Zhao to earn money to support them. The organization was so shabby and its name so embarrassingly stupid that Chu Zhao couldn’t bring herself to say it. Whenever people asked, she called it the “Psych Ward Association.” Then one day, the little 76.9kFavorites80.1kClicks/ch638.2kGifts

   I'm following the ongoing series and want to save it up to read, but I can't resist clicking on each new update. No spoilers, but the female lead is the kind of person who's a bit of a scatterbrain and has a lot of fun. The premise is also very interesting. Best of all, the diligent author, Qingyuan, updates 5000+ words a day, which is really enjoyable to read, but I'm still a little greedy and want to update 10000+ words a day!

    This is a top-tier (top of the top!) Female-centric, no-romance novel on Jinjiang Literature City. It features an infinite power-up system, with a female protagonist who is intelligent and capable (a very strong healer). She's the type of female lead who is emotionally detached but a hardworking, humble, and eager-to-learn office worker. The plot is fast-paced, with both humorous and touching moments, but the updates were too slow (that was in the past; today, November 10th, 2024, the author now updates weekly, which is very enjoyable).

    Curator note

    This is a long, female-centric story with no romantic partner. It features a large cast of women in an isekai (another world) setting, many charming female characters, and a compelling plot with well-developed main and supporting characters. I personally really enjoyed the interactions between the main and supporting characters; they are all well-developed and there are plenty of humorous moments. While the story leans towards a Cthulhu apocalyptic setting and has a generally heavy tone, it's lighthearted and hilarious from the protagonist's perspective. There are a few angsty moments (I cried for a long time after reading it), but the early parts are lighthearted and enjoyable. It's worth reading.

    The story is about the revival of spiritual energy. The beginning is both terrifying and exciting, and the female lead is intelligent and capable. The later part is more slice-of-life and less terrifying than the beginning, but it is still worth watching.
