I recently discovered a novel on Tomato that I really love about loving daughters, and I've decided to make a record of the heroines on Tomato. Detailed recommendations can be found by clicking on the chapter (I'll also leave a brief version here due to review): ①I didn't know, the NPCs are actually real people! By Spiral Takeoff: Six-star recommendation for the plot! Specific recommendations are in the text and pending review. It's an ensemble piece, so don't get too hung up on some typos and misspellings. Some male characters have significant storylines and development for a period of time, but the best characters are always female, and the high-ranking leaders are always predominantly female! Of course, this is a story that combines a feel-good feel with a realistic perspective, so it's not a completely female-centric or all-female story. Instead, it's about using appropriate methods and policies, plus player miracles, to gradually overthrow feudalism and create a world of equality for all (assuming gender equality). ② Welcome to the Women's Enterprise: A novel about a wealthy man who only spends money on women! Written in a female-centric style, 6 stars for female readers! Some plot points are quite idealistic, but it's all about the enjoyment. Although it's currently on hiatus (apparently due to the sensitive subject matter, further writing would likely result in censorship), it's definitely worth reading! Not a novel friendly to all men. ③If Cthulhu novels were all non-fiction: 6 stars for plot, 4.5 Stars for the portrayal of female love. The female lead has no romantic partner and a touch of Cthulhu; the concept is brilliant, the writing is excellent, the plot is intricately woven, and it highlights female characters beyond the female lead, showcasing different aspects of womanhood. It demonstrates a basic sense of female love, and the limited amount of male involvement in the early episodes is a relief. However, the setting and reality consistently assume male supremacy, and the synopsis states that it doesn't discuss gender issues, emphasizing equality under divine authority. ④ A transmigrator with a system—of course she'll become an empress! (Conquering the World): Five-star recommendation. A strong female protagonist who builds her power and dominates the world, with no romantic pairing. The protagonist is very handsome. Although unfinished, she displayed imperial bearing from the very beginning and never concealed her identity as a woman. After gaining power, she began to support her fellow women, encouraging them to strive for strength and recruiting female talent from all sides to improve their social status. However, the language is male-centric, especially in the early stages. Due to the environment, the protagonist is surrounded by almost entirely men. Also, perhaps due to the desire for a satisfying read, there are very few unpleasant characters, resulting in a large proportion of positive male-centric storylines. The number of women gradually increases after she gains power, but the female-to-male ratio is still not entirely satisfactory. Because the recommendation mentions that the absence of men helps women persevere, the language becomes more comfortable later on, with the people spontaneously addressing her as "Heavenly Mother" or "Heavenly Goddess," which is quite satisfying. Unfortunately, it's unfinished. Overall, it's recommended, but not suitable for those who are too radical and can't stand any male-centric plots. ⑤ Survival disguised as a man? What's the difference between that and eating rice? (By Spiral Takeoff Microgroup) Like a female novel with no satisfying plot twists. His father's Jinjiang is too difficult to use; there are so many bugs it's hard to even type. So frustrating! Overall, five-star recommendation.

I haven't read quick transmigration novels in a long time. This one was recommended repeatedly, and I almost gave up on it but picked it up again. I'd forgotten the beginning, but I read the second half these past couple of days. I especially liked the apocalyptic rebirth and Zhenniang stories; the apocalyptic rebirth's anachronistic twist was a pleasant surprise. From the apocalyptic setting to the "Fat Wife in a Farmhouse" series, they're all good, but I didn't finish all the stories due to personal taste. It's a worthwhile read for a story about a loving daughter; I personally don't mind the didactic elements, and the language isn't overly female-centric.

This is currently a novel with a good amount of female characters, though it's a bit padded and the pacing is slow. Many of the characters who help the protagonist are women, including the one who steals medicine—a female doctor raising her daughter alone. The male characters are either not very prominent or have less appealing portrayals, while the female characters are generally portrayed better. Compared to the beginning of my previous book, it was a pleasant surprise. However, there's no obvious male-centric approach. The author even recommended a novel from a male perspective in the author's notes, perhaps indicating that the author is still struggling with old and new ideas. So, those who are concerned about potential plot holes or spoilers can wait until it's finished and see the reviews before making a decision.

I hesitated to rate this book. I've always wanted to read a modern fantasy business novel, but most of the good ones are written from a male perspective. It's rare to find one like this. The writing is smooth, humorous, and witty, using tropes but not in a forced or contrived way. The female-to-male ratio is so-so. I pay special attention to the female characters, who are portrayed as both good and bad, but overall, there are more men than women. It feels like the author is still influenced by male-centric perspectives in many places. Many minor characters are written with male-centric language, and the wording is also problematic. Whenever there's a male character, the author tends to use male-centric terms, such as "brothers" and "ancestors." I've seen the author thank comments pointing out inappropriate content a couple of times, and they've admitted to not being perceptive enough. It's clear that the author has a certain sense of ownership and a basic love for women in their writing. However, there are still too many instances of inappropriate word choice in the text, causing me to be suddenly annoyed by the wording just when I'm enjoying the story. Although the male lead is essentially a free pet and doesn't have much screen time, he's a typical ordinary female character with an extremely powerful male lead. All the protagonist's good fortune and adventures so far have been thanks to the male lead's efforts. While the story doesn't emphasize this, focusing instead on the protagonist's initiative, I still felt annoyed when the protagonist encountered major problems she couldn't solve and ultimately had to rely on the male lead's magical powers. I would have preferred the male lead to directly offer all his power to the protagonist, or for the protagonist to cultivate to a level where he could completely overpower the male lead, but there's no indication of that yet. Perhaps the author's weakest approach to highlighting the female lead is to have the male lead be an extremely powerful pet who's essentially a free tool. Since I haven't found a better story like this yet, I'll just have to keep reading. There are a few objective descriptions of the female characters' good looks (and some of the male characters'), but these aren't from the male's perspective, and some of the word choices are inappropriate, suggesting the author's aesthetic leans towards mainstream beauty standards. The story also includes a version of the Weaver Girl who stole clothes to reform her thinking (while the original, strong, and normal Weaver Girl also exists), and the castrated ox was also taken for the protagonist to exploit. I won't spoil too much, but if you don't care about the above, those who like this kind of thing can take a look.

A heartwarming and healing story about protagonists from different parallel worlds helping each other. It feels like one of the protagonists will create a better matriarchal society. Although it's only a few tens of thousands of words long, I want to help increase its popularity so it becomes a paid novel with daily updates [pity][pity][pity], so I'm recommending it now. The author also wrote a book called "Building a Heavenly Court Starting with the Mountain God's Appearance," those who have read that should understand the author's style regarding feminist consciousness.

Personally, I found this book just average. However, I heard the author had previously stated they would no longer write from a male perspective, feeling it would be a betrayal of their own gender, so I indulged them a bit. It's a career-driven romance novel with a modern cultivation/high-martial arts world setting. I felt the author wasn't very good at character development; they seemed to have the intention but lack the actual skill (they tried to create complex characters and corresponding plots, but the writing was a bit rough around the edges). Therefore, the main and supporting characters didn't really attract me. It's a fairly standard leveling-up story. The female-to-male ratio is about 1:1, with both male and female main supporting characters. The protagonist's benefactors/teachers are mostly female. The male couple consists of good-looking, obedient, soft-spoken, and resource-giving characters. Halfway through, it felt like the protagonist was raising a pet that spits out money. So far, I haven't seen any scenes where they steal the spotlight, so although they have a high presence and the protagonist treats them well, it's still within acceptable limits.

I'm hesitant about how to rate this. It's enjoyable if you disregard gender, but I can't right now. The writing is good; it focuses on career development without romantic pairings or power struggles, and avoids descriptions of beautiful but weak characters. There are many high-ranking, positive female characters, but also quite a few male characters, and many are still conventionally male. I could tolerate it initially for the sake of the main characters and female supporting characters, but as I read on, the protagonist seemed to be using a male god persona (not confirmed yet, but referred to as "he" by the supporting characters), which I tolerated. Then, halfway through, they hired a strange man as customer service, someone who would access the protagonist's secret cross-time transactions. Even though the reason for not choosing a girl was that the highly educated girl had higher career aspirations and didn't want to stay in a mediocre, popular general store as customer service, and the story makes her choice understandable, and this strange man is terminally ill and likes the store's artifacts, isn't what happens in a novel ultimately up to the author? This guy is another male anchor, the older brother of a streamer who only talks about his brothers. Before he arrived, a series of details showed how loving his brother was, taking him out to relax. Later, this guy was even guaranteed to recover and live longer [crack]. I really couldn't stand it. I could have tolerated him revealing his secret to a close friend or relative, or having a female accomplice. But why did he have to find a complete stranger, a guy he'd just met? [Crack][crack][crack][crack] I can only say that if you can tolerate this, you can watch it. I couldn't stand it. I remember this book passing by on the bestseller list several times before without being included because, firstly, the synopsis made me think the protagonist's adventure would help solidify the patriarchal feudal society, and secondly, the cover didn't look very impressive, like a beautiful god. After reading it, it was much better than I expected. The female characters were well-developed, but I really couldn't stand the plot involving the male supporting characters.

Great! This is an ancient Chinese novel about imperial power struggles, set against a backdrop of gender equality (to avoid misunderstanding, this is not a worldview of gender equality). Both men and women can hold official positions, from high-ranking royal officials to soldiers and artisans. Both protagonists and antagonists are highlighted, and the political intrigue is well-written. Our Emperor Yan is simply too handsome! The only downside for me is that there's a low-profile romantic pairing instead of a harem. After reading over 130 chapters, I almost forgot it was a romance novel if it weren't for spoilers in the comments. The female characters don't overshadow the protagonist; the protagonist is the most handsome and authoritative character in the entire story. Since "gender equality" is already a given in the story, and the protagonist's goal in transmigrating isn't to become a wise ruler but to ruin the empire, there's no deliberate effort to promote women; he consistently strives to become a powerful but incompetent ruler (lol). I can't believe I've read this three times without finishing it; I only just discovered how delicious it is. I was truly blind!

This is a slightly angsty fanfic featuring a female protagonist who is a mixed-race evil spirit and the male lead from the original work. The protagonist is the sole focus, and there are instances of male characters from the original work being injured or killed (regardless of whether they are good or bad, hot or cold). It's quite fun. I define it as slightly angsty because I personally don't think it's particularly cruel to the male characters, since they're all still alive or have been reborn [milk tea emoji]. It's not a typical fanfic. Although the title says it's about romance, it's actually a collection of short, imaginative stories from multiple parallel worlds. There isn't much romance, and when there is, it's superficial and just playing around, not a 1v1 relationship. The stories are short, and I skipped some and didn't remember much. Even if you haven't read the original work, it won't affect your reading experience. It's quite fun to read. I really like the world where women in the Zen Temple family are liberated and men become male prostitutes to learn male virtues. The author has thought about the issue of male-female relationships. I heard that after this book, they wrote an even more exciting story about a retreating otaku. Perhaps they will focus on creating stories about women in the future. I'm really looking forward to it [milk tea emoji]. The downside is that since it's a fanfic, it's based on the original work, and apart from the protagonist, almost everyone is male. There are very few scenes with female characters, and of course, the female characters aren't within the protagonist's scope of manipulation.

A light, fun, and satisfying read! I have a feeling that the author's feminist consciousness is becoming increasingly strong (compared to her previous works). Currently, many of the game NPCs and main characters in this book are female. There was originally a male content creator (UP) who was tricked by the protagonist, but he ended up setting a bad example for another female content creator, teaching her to avoid risks. And while she still uses pronouns like "they," she's starting to use "unlucky"! The prevalence of female characters might stem from a simple, strong subconscious female identity, but the repeated use of "unlucky" suggests that the author is actively engaging with and absorbing feminist consciousness. I won't discuss whether this is necessary or meaningful, but this phenomenon also indicates that more and more people are seeing the male-dominated culture and concrete reality infiltrating various aspects of life, and are developing a sense of rejection and resistance. This is a significant step forward in our struggle for rights, whether it's feminism or equality. Getting off-topic, in short, I'm very optimistic about the data for this book. I think we desperately need authors who write highly engaging stories with a clear feminist consciousness. Realistic, vengeful, or didactic works have a smaller audience, and there's no need to write too many of these kinds of articles; a few classics are enough, and those who read them are generally already inclined in that direction. What we need are more and more stories that naturally incorporate feminist consciousness, attracting readers who don't yet have this mindset. We want them to naturally accept that women should be portrayed in a positive light, that writing should make women feel comfortable, creating a contrast with reality, and thus fostering a critical and confrontational attitude towards it. We shouldn't always be hostile and rejecting of other women. People's thoughts change. Given the current base, should we simply give up without making an effort? I believe that given equal opportunities to meet each other's needs, no one would abandon the one who treats them better for the one who belittles them.

One word: Great!!! A micro-group female-dominated harem novel where sisters are like limbs and men are like clothes, haha. The three sisters are truly wonderful, especially cool, and the Emperor Liu is even more domineering and majestic. The other female supporting characters are also well-written and vividly portrayed. The relationships between the women often moved me to tears. As for the men, they're just freebies, resources, and snacks—not important at all. In my opinion, the only flaw is that the political intrigue and war scenes are too fast-paced, not matching the grand scale of the events. Perhaps it's because the author isn't skilled at it. If it could be expanded and written a few hundred more chapters, it would be perfect! Looking forward to more works from the author!

This is a ensemble piece with no romantic pairings. The proportion of female characters across different worlds (including the main character) is roughly equal. It's a story about a wealthy tycoon who only helps women. Unfortunately, it's on hiatus; I'd love to see how it develops in each world. The story is set in a realistic world, featuring a female-centric narrative, but the language isn't overly refined, using neutral terms, etc. Readers should assess their own tolerance for these terms before reading. The author also has other completed female-centric and yuri novels, which are likely lighthearted and enjoyable. However, my tastes are becoming increasingly discerning; I tend to listen to audiobooks only briefly to fully engage, and once I start reading, the use of neutral terms and other factors can be frustrating and dampen my enthusiasm. Therefore, I'll only recommend one book here; I'll discuss the others later.

Good read, no romance! It seems to be a story with two female leads and an ensemble cast. The early part focuses on the girls' everyday yet extraordinary high school life after encountering aliens. I haven't read the later parts yet, so I don't know. The description of high school life is really captivating. The author writes about various ordinary yet unique girls with an inclusive and friendly attitude. So far, the main plot focuses on the girls, with only one male character. His initial appearance made me dislike him, thinking he would be a villain, but he later became a tool for the female leads. However, the focus is always on the girls, and he doesn't steal the spotlight, so I can ignore him. After reading the female lead's words and actions in chapter 20 and the author's attitude towards writing about the less-than-perfect girls, I completely felt relieved and added it to my list. It's a pity that I only have this many favorites. It seems the author is facing difficulties in real life. I'm late to the party and don't know much about it. I hope she can get rid of the shadow of the villain soon and defeat her opponents.

I'd actually give it a five-star recommendation. The protagonist isn't a protagonist with a strong moral compass, so those with high standards of morality might not be suited to this story. The male-to-female ratio is roughly 1:1. Personally, I disliked the male voice residing in the protagonist's mind; a female or mechanical voice wouldn't have made a difference. However, there are no stereotypical portrayals of beautiful, weak, or foolish women, making the reading experience quite enjoyable. The ending is a bit abrupt, although it's more logical at the end, but not as impactful as the beginning. Overall, it's a very exciting story! To add, the writing style can be slightly difficult at times, especially in the early stages when the world-building is being established; the experience improves after that. Even if you skip ahead without thinking too much, it's still quite enjoyable (if you don't empathize with the characters).

"Female-centric ensemble cast" is a five-star recommendation for its plot, four and a half stars for its portrayal of a good girlfriend, and five stars overall. The main cast has a near 1:1 male-to-female ratio, with various types of outstanding female characters. The best-developed character so far is the female one. I'm deducting half a point because I personally get annoyed by scenes of boys arguing with girls, using vulgar language, and having too much male character content. Overall, the author shows friendliness towards women, and the female characters are very strong. However, the excessive male-centric content is annoying, especially the villains, who are truly despicable. The story has a great imagination and good writing, so it's surprising that it has so few favorites. Perhaps it's just bad luck with low readership during its serialization period. Female-centric works deserve more support and recommendations, and I hope more and better male-centric female-centric works will emerge. Finally, a warning: the male supporting character involves some BL (Boys' Love) elements, but it's not real, though it's joked about.

I'm recommending this book even before finishing it! It truly captures the essence of the female-dominated world I've been looking for. Both the career and romance storylines are fantastic, and the protagonist is incredibly handsome! Just considering the romance alone, this is the kind of harem novel perfect for women! Many novels claim to focus on multiple relationships, but in reality, certain preconceived notions inevitably arise. This is an ideal female-dominated world, but sometimes its resemblance to reality, while contradicting it, can be a bit unsettling... I hope your next book, with its all-female society concept, will be even more successful. Best wishes for continued success!

This is a female-centric, no-romance novel. The author has a very imaginative mind, and the bizarre elements are quite entertaining. The writing style is excellent, and the female-to-male ratio is great. So far, the male characters seem to be either antagonists or victims; none of them have left a particularly strong impression. The low number of favorites might be due to the niche genre. The world-building is still male-dominated, but the terminology is mostly female-centric, such as using "others." There are various strong and virtuous female characters. There might be some oversights and occasional stereotypes, so please don't be too harsh on the female-centric author. If you find any, feel free to point them out and have a friendly discussion. The author's other novel is a second-person, child-rearing, infinite flow novel with a female protagonist and no romantic subplot. It's longer and has a stronger supernatural element. Personally, I haven't read much of it because I'm not very quick-witted and don't want to think too much after get off work, but I would still recommend it!

I didn't finish it, only read the beginning. Mainly because I have a high moral compass, this kind of brutal swap makes me feel that the powerful's ruthless suppression and attack on the powerless is an indelible human flaw, impossible to eliminate through the evolution of productivity and civilization. Therefore, men attacking women is normal and in accordance with the laws of nature; society inevitably has powerless individuals who, without criminal charges or other necessary conditions. I prefer a more harmonious and stable worldview under female leadership. It's not that women can't make mistakes, but that overall, it's more progressive and beautiful. Of course, aside from that, it's still worth watching. This kind of swap usually allows people to intuitively experience the irrational situations in reality, especially suitable for otome gamers. (I initially thought it was another one with multiple male leads and ambiguous relationships based on the title. Playing with men is fine, but some fanfiction will include characters from the original work who don't uphold male virtues or have unlikable personalities. Regardless of other aspects, if they don't uphold male virtues and offend the protagonist, they don't deserve it; the protagonist deserves better. Fortunately, I saw other recommendations and didn't miss it. Maybe I'll finish it later.)

This is a great, satisfying read. The plot features both positive male and female characters, and the main characters are predominantly female and high-ranking. The protagonist is the strongest in the world, and the romance is minimal, so it doesn't detract from the reading experience. Personally, I think the protagonist's romantic relationships don't fall into the narrow definition of love in reality; changing them to female characters wouldn't affect the story at all. I won't spoil too much. What I really love is the inhuman feel of it.

I'd give this story six stars, four stars for the female characters, and five stars overall. The story itself is superb; the writing is excellent, the descriptions are very realistic, and it truly feels like real animal life in the wild. It's one of the top animal-themed transmigration novels I've ever read, and it features both female characters. However, in the worlds I've read so far, the human portion is predominantly male, and sometimes, besides the protagonist, there are also quite a few male animals highlighted. As for the romantic pairing, it's normal for the protagonist to need companionship from their own kind, otherwise they'd go crazy. The romantic subplots I've seen are minimal and don't hinder the protagonist's actions; it focuses on platonic companionship, which isn't tiresome. But I can't help wondering, since they don't intend to do anything romantic, why couldn't the female character be the one? Perhaps it's because it's so well-written that it feels so regrettable. I hope there will be more and better novels with more female characters in the future.

This is primarily a female protagonist's personal wish-fulfillment story. I've forgotten the exact timeline, but I think it didn't fall into any female-centric categories or become overly appealing. It's more about the imaginative plot and the sheer enjoyment. I don't really like individual heroism in savior stories, so I got tired of them towards the end. I'm recommending it here because I used to really enjoy the author's male protagonist stories. Although the logic wasn't always sound and they were often exaggerated, the plots were incredibly imaginative and the enjoyment was high—light and entertaining. Today, while browsing her author page, I discovered that she, who has always written male protagonist stories, has already written two female protagonist stories, and her next pre-order is also female-centric. She also has many other female protagonist pre-orders I haven't seen before, which makes me feel like she's made progress in exploring female-centric themes. So, I'm recording this to show my support and hope her female protagonist stories continue to improve. I'm not recommending another female protagonist story with higher popularity because, compared to individual heroism, I find it harder to accept a system where the characters she helps are mostly men in the entertainment industry. After all, she started out writing male protagonist romance novels. I hope the author's awareness of female-centric themes will continue to grow.

This story intertwines career and family (or psychological growth) themes, with a focus on the career aspect. It explores how the protagonist struggles against the quagmire of a family that favors sons over daughters. She isn't the decisive type, and her parents aren't entirely heartless; they also brought her genuine joy. This complex mix of love and hate, rooted in blood ties, is precisely why many children struggle to completely sever ties with their families of origin. Some consider the protagonist's final, somewhat cynical, attitude towards her family out of character or a major flaw, but I think it's understandable. It's precisely this resilient yet compassionate protagonist who, upon gaining an opportunity, considers not only her own interests but also the well-being of her country and her sisters, striving diligently and genuinely upholding her faith. On the other hand, the setting of this family, along with the detailed psychological descriptions of the protagonist's wounds and repeated rejections, I believe, is also a message to those who share similar predicaments and psychological states: after offering help, if the other party cannot change, then you must firmly uphold your bottom line, even if you still feel reluctant, even if you know that some of it is due to the quagmire they've been exposed to, even if you still have expectations of them. However, you must adhere to your bottom line; otherwise, one step back leads to another, and you will never be their first choice. Regarding the protagonist's career, the only regret is that the story ended just as she was about to soar higher. Perhaps the author wasn't confident in writing it well, as there were only a few epilogues set in later generations. However, these flaws don't detract from the overall quality, and I look forward to more stories about women from the author in the future!

Huh?? All those words I typed for the recommendation suddenly disappeared! Waaaaaah! In short, it's an excellent story, aside from the initial "golden finger" (advantageous character), that genuinely promotes gender and gender equality and equality for all in an ancient world. It's an ensemble piece with a diverse cast of women, both good and bad. Personally, I think the "golden finger" exists primarily to force everyone in the ancient world to obey the protagonist's arrangements through violence, and to develop society in the direction the protagonist desires. Otherwise, if society were to evolve naturally, it wouldn't be something that could be seen in just one or two generations.

As a result, I was shocked by the beginning of the movie, especially by the characters and the ABB female characters (although the male characters' names were also perfunctory, it didn't stop me from being disgusted by the stereotype of ABB female characters; if you're bad at naming things, you could always use AB instead of ABB). Plus, I remembered a useless puppet male character who, to express his resistance against the protagonist's conquest, chose to set fire to the house, burning all his women and children to death. The later description was quite poignant, prompting players to reflect on war, but not a single person sympathized with the innocent women and children who were caught in the crossfire. [Crying emojis] So I don't plan to rewatch it. My previous satisfaction was probably due to the relatively high female-to-male ratio and several memorable female supporting characters, which made me like to subscribe to the entire series. After all, I haven't had many good, normal movies before, so I'm satisfied. As time went by, I forgot. I'll review it again later and fix it. I'll give a more detailed review when I have time. It's an ensemble piece about the female protagonist's ascension to the throne, and the prominent figures in the faction surrounding her are primarily female.

Having read over seventy chapters, I noticed that the book features both male and female characters, both positive and negative. The female protagonist's initial goal is to pursue a career path, but perhaps due to her lack of computer knowledge, her career development is somewhat lacking. The main conflicts and satisfying moments are in her battles against bad guys. The early chapters have a good pace, with the protagonist being decisive in dealing with unpleasant individuals. However, after officially joining her uncle's family, on the one hand, we can't see the female protagonist making progress or showing real effort in her career, and on the other hand, the problems within her uncle's family are progressing very slowly. Furthermore, her family members, who are at fault but also kind to her, don't seem to receive the same straightforward lessons and retribution as in the early chapters. Therefore, I stopped reading halfway through.

Looking back, the protagonist had a chain-smoking father and a mentally challenged younger brother, but he gradually improved through the protagonist's efforts. When I first watched it, I wasn't prejudiced against men. Seeing how the story encouraged the healer's growth in the early episodes and helped more women later on, coupled with the father's character of not discriminating against women and being framed for his addiction, and the younger brother being reformed and idolizing the protagonist, I thought it was alright. Now, however, I find it hard to accept. Just wanted to clear up some potential issues. While rereading the author's column, I discovered they've moved on to another BL novel after finishing this one. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. After all, they were an author I used to admire, so as I've become more aware, I hoped that my past favorite authors would also improve, at least by focusing on female-centric stories. But they are, after all, free creators and have never made any guarantees. It's just that my own unrealized expectations have been dashed, leaving me feeling somewhat lost. The main reason this book is recommended is because it's a career-oriented story centered around the female protagonist. The male lead is a love-struck fan and a devoted follower of the female lead. While the female lead consciously helps advance female empowerment, the main appeal lies in the female lead's personal experiences and her interactions with the novel.

This isn't a typical "super-rich" novel; it depicts a girl's journey from naivety and timidity to awakening consciousness and ultimately shining brightly, supported by a system. I only read a bit of the beginning because my views are similar, and I personally lack the patience to finish it, but I subscribed to the full version. I skimmed through the later parts, and it's great that a somewhat annoying girl in the beginning also awakens and becomes good friends with the protagonist! I don't want to see a female supporting character used as a contrast; that would be like a protagonist without a system, representing our past selves. If a novel about loving daughters doesn't show greater tolerance and patience for such characters to grow, it's a tragedy for us. Sometimes the main and supporting characters might have some dark thoughts, but that's normal; it's human nature. It's quite realistic, and they didn't let themselves succumb to darkness, ultimately letting go of those thoughts and becoming better and healthier.

It's good, with little romance. I've forgotten some details because it's been a while. One rather jarring point at the beginning is having such an important female lead participate in a dangerous mission. The main purpose of this plot point is to introduce her ability, which is foreshadowed later in the story. While it's not entirely logical, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. All three of the teacher's submitted works are romance novels.

The author is so clever, haha! The idea of drawing satellites is really imaginative. The male lead is just a background character with little romantic involvement, and there were no hints of it at the beginning. I was a little surprised when he suddenly appeared near the end. He's really good to the female lead; all the bodyguards and such are girls. Finally, I've seen a story where the female lead doesn't have male bodyguards or assistants! He also wrote a lot of highlight female supporting characters and those who rise to power! All three of the author's works in the "Advanced Subjects" category are female-friendly, which shows that the author's writing is getting better and better.

The main cast includes both men and women. The male lead is an obedient, love-obsessed type, while the non-villainous women are all positive figures, many with memorable positive moments. The cast is predominantly female.

First, when she was a child, she nearly died at Gem Beach, where a meteorite was said to have fallen. Second, after she came of age, she gained a special ability, a tiny, glitch-like power. Its only effect was to connect her refrigerator to her neighbor’s, so things from next door would often show up in her own fridge. A meaningless glitch. Not cool at all, with no potential whatsoever.

Curator note
This author tends to incorporate personal reflections into serious stories, which can sometimes feel didactic. Perhaps due to a growing awareness of feminism, she has shifted from writing male-protagonist novels to several female-protagonist stories in a row. My personal favorite is still "Yan Hong." The female-protagonist stories feel less polished compared to the male-protagonist ones, but I believe the author will work on it, and I will continue to support her, hoping for even better results in the future.
