   This novel is unfriendly to men; the female protagonist and the male protagonist are complete opposites. The author incorporates many of their own reflections on inequality into the story. The comments section can be a bit extreme. Later, after seeing some of the actions of the female supporting character in a real-life situation, I didn't agree with them and stopped reading. However, overall, the book is still excellent and worth recommending. Perhaps some of the viewpoints aren't entirely correct or universally accepted, but reading it and experiencing a clash with different feminist ideas is a way to make progress in one's thinking.

   Not bound by the infighting within the inner quarters, and although the women were limited by their backgrounds and couldn't reach high positions, one could still feel the teacher's tolerance and care for women, and I really liked this warm atmosphere.

   I can only say one word: Okay. I saw someone else's post on XHS and was immediately captivated by the author's research into what the characters containing "woman" actually meant in the past, what their connotations were, and whether they were influenced by distorted and insulting ideas. However, without a contract, I can't tip or support them, which makes me anxious. Anyway, I'll add it to my reading list first.

5. 55 成 Becoming a Demon, I Slaughtered My Way to the Top 成为恶魔，我大杀特杀 A Little Extra一圈多No CP202k WordsCompleted Note: The protagonist is chaotic evil and does awful things. This is a freewheeling story. Blurb One ordinary evening, Eve suddenly turned into a demon while washing her face. A demon that feeds on fear. Fortunately, there was food all around her. She would never go hungry, whether it was a wife beaten by her husband every day or a neighbor being stalked and harassed. And she's a polite demon, usually giving her food a gift in return. For example, helping a wife get rid of her husband, or help 13.3kFavorites14.3kClicks/ch17.6kGifts

   Three stars for writing style, logic, and storytelling; five stars for being good to girlfriends. Given that the main criterion for this book list is "friendliness to women overall," I maintain my five-star recommendation; it's suitable for mindless reading. It's a bit of a shame that it didn't explore the male protagonist's experiences and the fear women have of men in reality. It's mostly just killing, and the ending primarily focuses on the city itself, without even expanding nationwide. I think if a character could withstand a nuclear bomb, a nationwide killing spree would have been better; it wouldn't have been so unfair.

   Goodbye, teacher. The whole "female-hate relationship" thing has made me utterly disappointed with Jinjiang. I never want to use it to make money again. I wish you success in your career, and I look forward to the day I have the opportunity to follow you again on another platform. [Please][Please][Please] —— All-female cast—that's amazing! I was deeply moved while reading it, and I don't even know where to begin to describe its merits. I'm so grateful to the author for creating such an enchanting world. I don't like following serializations, so I waited until it was finished before reading it all in one go. The story gradually unfolds the explanation of why the story becomes all-female, and I personally think the logic is sound and natural. Perhaps some of the ideas in the story are a bit extreme, but—so what? Only an author with such bold ideas and actions could create such a wonderful story.
