   This is a free novel by Kitahara Sousuke, a warm and reliable friend. What I love most is how he portrays the growth of different characters, including the Detective Boys understanding the weight of responsibility (and becoming less cowardly), Ai Haibara's relaxed growth in love, and the handling of Ran's misunderstanding. The key plot points are also incredibly well-written, showcasing different story developments.

   A quick transmigration story, featuring a female protagonist, no romantic pairing, a satisfying read where the protagonist enjoys herself while traveling with women from different worlds. It has a unique and humorous writing style. [Kissing emoji] I especially love the bold deductions in each of these miniature worlds. Some may be a bit idealistic and naive, but the vast majority are certainly thought-provoking and amusing. [Laughs]

   A very good Narcissistic story. It captures the sense of danger effectively without being out of character (OOC), and all the characters are quite intelligent. Science and Detective Conan's ideas – what a wild imagination! (/≧▽≦/)

   The most grounded institutional, economic, and cultural development shows that the people never wait but actively strive for what they want. It's so real, and the protagonist is so charismatic. The group she leads also shines with the light of ideals and reality intertwined.

First, help me conquer Hollywood! * The author's knowledge of the entertainment industry at home and abroad comes entirely from reading various reports. In other words, this is mostly wish fulfillment, so please don't take it seriously. * For the sake of the plot, the female lead will of course date someone, but this isn't a [redacted] novel, and her romantic interests will mostly be original characters. * As the title suggests, there will be plenty of scheming 136.8kFavorites267.2kClicks/ch84.1kGifts

   Curator note

   I have mixed feelings about this book because it's not just a typical wish-fulfillment story. Awesome? Yes, and it's an Excel-level awesomeness. Box office curves, award season milestones, media value quantification—line after line of numbers climbing, it's as satisfying as watching DPS in a video game. But the more satisfying it is, the more alarmed I become: it turns out that "my satisfaction" = "rising data" = "capital recouping its investment." My emotions have been taken over by KPIs. The protagonist, with her unbridled ambition, is exactly what I love. She's not driven by revenge, nor is she forced by anyone; she simply wants to grasp power. She wants to win, to be in charge. This kind of "pure ambition" is as rare as a unicorn in female-oriented fiction, yet it's portrayed as believable, quantifiable, and convertible. Every compromise she makes is documented, every act of remorse fails to be properly depreciated—her conscience becomes a non-performing asset, forever tied up in debt. I love this "residual human value." But the ceiling was shattered, and the protagonist successfully "dominated Hollywood," only to discover that the ceiling was a transparent dome, and beyond it lay an infinitely higher ceiling (even if she wanted to expose herself, industry insiders wouldn't allow it, since the protagonist's interests were so tightly intertwined with theirs that no one else would allow her image to be tarnished). At that moment, I felt suffocated—it turned out that "breaking the ceiling" was just a change in how she was displayed, and the protagonist's image remained perfect (of course, this wasn't a bad thing for the protagonist; at least she overcame the hurdle of this image). Meanwhile, the supporting characters were even colder; even evil offered no emotional value. No one was born sinister; everyone had their own API: saving her = hedging risk; harming her = arbitrage. The system didn't need bad guys, only position adjustments. This was the first time I read about "human nature" being used as liquidity management in a novel. Overall: Ranked in the top 3 of Jinjiang Literature City, and aiming for second place in terms of depth. It portrays "female ambition" as a perpetual bond and labels "conscience" as bad, leaving me with that 1% of unrecoverable stinging pain even after I've had my fill of pleasure. The only thing I'm not entirely satisfied with is that, in the psychological battle, the protagonist is objectively controlled by Cesare, revealing his cheat abilities and special background to him (which I understand is reasonable under such high pressure), yet Cesare doesn't have much leverage over the protagonist. The key issue is that Cesare is too perfect; he's an elite white male, naturally positioned to scrutinize, possessing genius-level talent, while the protagonist, as a woman, is systematically scrutinized, and her seemingly genius investment acumen is actually just a cheat ability. This makes the protagonist feel like a cheap, fake genius.

    Curator note

    This is a super engaging fourth-disaster type of novel, featuring a large ensemble cast and showcasing the author's reflections. It's not a "mowing down" story; it uses the "natural disaster" to change the world, leading to a more positive outlook on life. This is arguably the best work in the author's series that combines a sense of exhilaration with the establishment of a political system (the author's other works, except for "Wolf King" [I haven't read it, but I've heard it's good], are generally too didactic [the new book seems alright], and lack some fantasy elements, which is a bit off-putting). The black text turned redder the more you looked at it, and it didn't evoke any negative emotions. It was cleverly integrated with the plot and characters (it's one of the best online novels I've ever read). This is the best infrastructure-building novel I've ever read, which has indirectly improved my taste in this genre.

I absolutely adore Bradbury; it's like he really exists. At first, I thought it was a typical crossover anime/manga story, but after looking closely, I realized it wasn't. There were no sleazy or arrogant manipulations of the original characters (for example, deliberately using high-level characters to crush low-level ones, or casually criticizing the imperfect choices of the original characters).
