Female-Protagonist Stories with No Romance
Looking for fresh sprouts 🌱 (dedicated to discovering promising new authors)
The Picky Readers’ Alliance
Everyone has different tastes. I abandon most books on other lists after reading just the opening, but I've also discovered some books on fellow readers' lists that I personally love. Some are so obscure that many readers have missed them, which I think is a real shame. So I've put together this list in the hope that more readers will discover these hidden gems. Taste is deeply personal, of course, so this is only meant to help readers who share mine. I read slowly and rarely read several books
【Powerful Picks】In a Reading Slump? Great Books Are Here, Highly Recommended
The purpose of a reading list is to recommend works that people enjoy and are interested in. As the list curator, I have an eye for discovering them and finding them for everyone. A little can be said about every work’s subject, themes, structure, writing techniques, and prose. Analyzing these aspects naturally helps me pick out the good ones. If the author has taken the time to revise carefully, that’s even rarer, and I’ll give the work a strong recommendation. The genres I recommend include
No Male Lead, but Plenty of Brains
I’m tired of romance stories pretending to have strong female leads. As soon as the romance starts, the characters fall apart and the plot can stop making sense. Stories without a male lead are less likely to insult the reader’s intelligence. I add new books and clear out the list from time to time. Recommended: I Want to Become Empress. Who’s Against It?

Memories keep fading, and so many novels are still ongoing that I'm afraid I'll forget them while waiting for updates. So I want to keep a record of them. As for the ones that wasted my time, I'll just complain about them to myself and then forget them.
Favorite Books: Heroines
There is a bit of every genre here. Most of the novels Xixi likes and recommends feature female protagonists, because I personally dislike harem novels, as well as fake female-protagonist novels where the story is supposedly about the heroine but the male lead takes up an enormous amount of space. I feel the same way about male-protagonist novels (ー̀εー́). So you may notice that 90% of the novels on this list have little romance and few scenes focused on the male lead.

Treasure article! ∑(°Д°)
Look what I found~ It's a treasure article! It's really rare to see this type of article in online articles. I caught the cover at first glance (completely different from other covers) in the limited-free recommendation. When I saw the introduction, I knew I must add it to my bookshelf! Although my IQ is worrying, I am still addicted to this kind of brain-burning mystery. In fact, when I read other online articles, I just glance at the plot and pass the time. In contrast, for this kind of articles, you must read every detail slowly, and even need to go back to the first few pages to read it again. Even if you subscribe to it, it is well worth the money! Great value for money! You can definitely use two or three brushes in the future! This is definitely not the current mainstream fast food article. Readers who have read it will definitely understand what I mean!
The journey from being a passer-by to becoming a fan
So... Let's start with a dark wave [Black] 1. Shortcomings in character creation 2. The heroine setting is the biggest flaw, Wei Zhong Er, this is the first time I have seen someone calling herself "Yiko". The key point is that Baidu does not have such a title. Narcissistic, arrogant, and arrogant, generally unlimited streaming still requires a bit of excitement and survival feeling. Even the protagonist of the life game cannot be relaxed and freehand as if he is having fun! It's as if the heroine knows that she has the script and is blessed by the heroine's aura of immortality. It makes me really want the heroine to die once, so that she can experience the hardships of life. Taking pity on the beauty, you can obviously be the king of solo, why bring a rookie to get points? After all, you should be a diamond if you match up with your teammates. Bringing up a cute new girl... Isn't she really Ji Lao? ? 3. In each volume, there is always a character who is very pleasing to the heroine, but very unpleasant to me The following is the review of the volumes.
[Doujin Contest] 0000 Preface: My Self (Part 2)
She just shook her head gently, wiped away my tears with the side of her clean palm, and then wiped away her own. The wounds all over his body were healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. I instantly understood that she was also one of the so-called supermen in the world. Looking at my gaze, she smiled bitterly. "Thank you." I tried my best to smile back. I think that expression must be ugly. On that day, the capital fell to a major "natural disaster". The entire urban area of Nancheng, including Chongwen, Xuanwu, Fengtai and half of Chaoyang District, almost completely disappeared, and 80% of the buildings in the remaining areas collapsed. The final death toll exceeded 10 million. After that, I was taken to the hospital by her, but I only found a temporary emergency center after dark. And her subsequent disappearance certainly did not attract anyone's attention in such a catastrophe. There followed a gap of two years, during which many things happened which need not be repeated at this time. During this period, the Chinese once again miraculously established a new capital city between Beijing and Tianjin. Although the scale is less than one-tenth of the original size, it fully possesses all the functions of a city. The university we just entered is the top music school in the country and has been rebuilt almost as it was before. The most interesting thing is that she and I, my roommate Lan Feng, lived together again after two years and strangely became friends. For ordinary people, charity and kindness will become a burden on friendship. But I understand that as long as there is no mutual distaste for this kind of thing, being carelessly pulled down by the benefactor and trying to get close is the best way to maintain the relationship, so I did it. In fact, Lan Feng has almost no friends. She is very beautiful, and her tall nose and eyes, although not too big or attractive, exude a kind of majesty that is rare among women. She often wears a plain blue dress that makes her look aloof. She has a lot of personality and is actually very smart. In my opinion, the reason why she has no friends is just because there is a subtle sense of disharmony in her behavior. For example, I obviously had a great time playing badminton with me in private, but I always found excuses to avoid various group activities in physical education class. Although her straightforward personality is more fun with people of the opposite sex than those of the same sex, she always behaves like she likes her as long as she has contact with her, and is indifferent to all boys, even if they just come to chat for a while. She is obviously... Very afraid of loneliness, but even if a classmate with a similar temperament wants to get acquainted with her, she will be extremely polite and keep a gentleman's distance. To put it bluntly, it is the feeling that a person is forced to carry something. But due to the lack of minimal communication, even this went unnoticed except by me. None of us mentioned anything about her personality, and most importantly about her superhuman powers. The way we interact with each other is just like her and other classmates who seem to be quite cold. We usually don't talk much, but occasionally we go to the cafeteria, piano room, or buy something together. In anyone's eyes, the way of communication between a very popular school beauty like me, who smiles at everyone, and a super cold beauty like Kaede, seems extremely ordinary. In other words, it's a complementarity. My petiteness, big eyes, long eyelashes, and doll-like face contrast with her uprightness and nobility. However, in fact, because we value each other quite a lot, a relationship of considerable mutual trust has evolved unknowingly and unspokenly over the course of a year. It was a small opportunity to finally get to know the other side of her world. On Maple's birthday, I gave her a small piece of cake. It's not a whole birthday cake, just a small piece of watermelon-flavored cake. The kind where you cut a corner off the whole piece and sell it alone will not cost more than twenty yuan. When I gave it to her, I didn't mention her birthday at all. I bought a lot of things in large and small bags and threw a box to her. At the same time, he also brought chocolate bars and beef jerky to the other two children in the same dormitory. They are also very cheap but are also their favorite brands and flavors. What the hell kind of opportunity is this? Many people will be curious. In fact, Feng never revealed his birthday to anyone. I took a peek during the entrance physical examination, and that was even before she saved her. At that time, it was mainly out of the habit of getting to know the people around me who might interact with me as soon as possible. Of course, I also paid attention to various information about the other two children in the same dormitory. At the same time, watermelon flavor is also her favorite. Of course she never revealed this, and probably no one except me even knew about it. And how do I know? If you try to notice and remember what the people you live with eat every day for an entire year, you'll find that it really isn't that difficult to determine. I handsomely threw the three bags of food into the hands of the three of them, turned around and ran to the toilet. For communicating with Feng, I know this is enough. When he turned around, he only caught a glimpse of Zhang Yang and Yin Xiyi on the two modular beds by the window, happily jumping around on the bed like hamsters. Lan Feng showed some surprise when he opened the box. "Qu Yun, I have something to tell you." After a while, Feng's voice came from the toilet cubicle. "Say it." "Right here?" "Then where else to go? The dormitory building is about to be locked. Should we hold hands like a couple and walk the campus boulevard at night?" Speechless for a few seconds. "I've never mentioned it. What happened at that time... Was more than three years ago." She started to talk anyway. "You must have taken this as my understanding, or you just don't want to think about the scary memories." "You actually just said it like that?" She smiled bitterly. "Let me ask you, what kind of person am I in your heart?" I got to the point. "You speak more directly than me, and you don't shy away from the emotional embarrassment of ordinary people at all." "Uh, hehe..." After a brief pause, she thought and spoke slowly: "You... If necessary, lie like breathing. A girl with no morals, no sense of justice, and no sense of responsibility. A bit of a middle-class, a bit out of line, extremely arrogant in her heart, and looking down on everyone in the world. I have to feel sincerely sad for the person who marries you in the future..." "Hey! Are you here to be friends with me to save the world?" "But, the emotional intelligence is amazing, and he is so careful, but he is hard to dislike... He looks so confident, and he is sincere when he treats people well. He is an idealist who is unwilling to accept the status quo, as if he is eager to get some proof or change something. In order to get himself. The kind of guy who wants spiritual things at any cost, it doesn't matter whether he has to pay for his own life or someone else's... Hey, even if you want to save the world, you can't do it..." As a child with a strong sense of justice, Feng's last sentence was a bit sad. But I knew very well that there was something else in it. I was slightly surprised to hear this small and unexpected confession. She actually knows me so well? If you really want to compare, my disguise in front of others is much better than hers. While I was inadvertently paying too much attention to her, was she also paying close attention to me? Without being discovered by me? "You must be wondering how it's possible for me to know so much about you, right?" "Ah... I'm actually surprised that you can speak coherent sentences with so many words." "If I said this was my superpower, would you believe it?" … "Xin," just listening to her voice convinced me of my judgment: "Although I am very touched, that is not what I want to ask... Do you know the idea of Social Darwin?" "Should human society survive the fittest like nature? The one that is widely criticized for being promoted by racism?" "In my opinion, those are all wrong interpretations and prejudices," I took a long breath and organized my words: "The essence of Social Darwin's idea should not be the criterion for judging which is better or worse, but should focus on the point that 'society needs to evolve'." After a pause, I didn't hear any questions, and then I continued to explain: "The most perfect world in my mind is not a world where everyone can be happy, and everyone gets what they need without having to endure injustice. If it really becomes like that, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, sense of honor, enterprising spirit, creativity, desire, dreams, fun... Human nature itself is very valuable. In contrast, a world with clear class distinctions where everyone has equal opportunities to climb up due to their own talents and efforts or fall down due to their own incompetence and laziness is healthier, right? It's better to be a hard-working person than a happy pig." "So you want to create a world where people with talent and hard work have the opportunity to climb up, kick the happy pigs down, and then go see the scenery at the top?" "The one who knows me is Miss Lan." "Excuse me, I disagree. It's not about conforming to the world, but asking the world to conform to you. Has anyone ever said that you are arrogant?" "No one who cares about me has said this. To be honest, I think death is much better than living a mediocre life." "No one would think you are mediocre! Hey, you did it all by yourself... Do you think you can do it?" "It's all about human effort." "Then, the point is, why do you think I can help you?" "For more than three years, I have done some research." "If it took three years to find out something, I'm afraid there would be less than half of the people alive in the world now." "Half like me?" "... Forget it..." Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Why are you mentioning it now?" "I wasn't ready before." "Prepare for what? Why prepare?" "I'm going to convince you to help me. After all, the three views are different, and I need to consider the feasibility. The reason for making preparations? Well... Because it is very important to me." I paused for a moment and said the last sentence emphatically: "Join, The Lamarck Game." … "And you concluded that I would help you?" "Just know me well enough... Like, now." "It's a curse..." "In your opinion." There was a longer silence, so long that I thought Lan Feng had quietly escaped. There was sweat on my forehead. Even on the day of the earthquake, I had never been so nervous. It wasn't until a long sigh that my heart dropped. I know I succeeded. "For a guy like you who will never regret any decision he makes in his whole life, I guess there is no need for more persuasion." "Natural." "When you are ready, sleep on this pillow. You must know that you will never be able to mention that name here again." A pure white card made of something between metal and plastic was handed over from the gap under the compartment. The card is slightly larger than a bank card, and its surface feels almost matte. It's all in one piece, without any markings or features. "Thank you, really..." I took the card with trembling hands, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind. Is this what it turns out to be? Sure enough, it is still very different from what I imagined. "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't be like this... I want companions, it's so hard and lonely..." "I know." The sound of flushing water "Lan Feng?" "Huh?" When she heard my voice suddenly coming from above, she raised her head in surprise. "Happy birthday." I struggled to stand on the toilet stall board and forced out a very charming smile from the bottom of my heart.
Dbq... Although I like the setting of this article very much, but 😭😭😭 I really can't stand Lily (whether it is light Baili or not). Pure no cp is acceptable, but the Lily in this article is too obvious for me... Goodbye, sorry
I claim to be really uncomfortable, and it doesn't fit the heroine's character. The plot is ok, but the characterization is poor. I hope there won't be a self-proclaimed Yiko in the future. It feels too pretentious.
[Xiaoyun said] What kind of story do you want to see?
Others are playing supporting roles, but most of Xiaoyun's supporting characters have their own meanings and will not accept supporting roles for the time being. However, for the time being, this is still a book with an infinite flow cover. Each chapter will play in a different world (story type). So why not tell me what type and theme of game background environment you like to see? Dead Rising? Ghost story? World of immortality? Interstellar development? Dark fairy tale? Although I can't guarantee that I can directly arrange what you want into the story, but let's give Xiaoyun some interesting ideas. Maybe one day you will see a scene tailor-made for you www emmmm~ The second chapter has just been released, so the following stories and games will not feature specific movie and game novels, but will be completely original backgrounds from beginning to end. The seemingly bizarre world actually has a rigorous structure. Don't be dissatisfied, anyway, other unlimited streaming movies are either poorly written fixed scenes or movies you have never heard of, right? Www, maybe there will be some surprises here (ω< )★ Thank you for supporting Xiaoyun. If you have any ideas, please reply here~ Let's roll around~
How to put it this way, this book will definitely be able to retain readers who like reasoning and other aspects, but for me, it is a pity that the impression is not good. I just want to relax when I read novels recently, so I don't use too much brain. The biggest focus is on the writing style, plot, setting and character description. It needs to be comfortable to read, and the direct perception of a book is these things. Now that I have seen the beginning of the fourth game, I feel a little uncomfortable. It is not that the plot is not good, the brain-burning design is not good, or the world view is not set well, but the other most obvious, prominent, and direct writing and character description designs have affected my perception. Although I don't know what the author's previous living environment and psychological condition were like, this book was also written two years ago, around 2020, but based on the parts I have seen so far, I feel a bit out of touch with the times. First of all, the name design related to levels, organization names, etc. Is undoubtedly a bit difficult for me. It is really not suitable for the environment in 2022. However, I personally think it is okay for the protagonist to call himself a character. It is very unique and has good reviews. The second is the writing style. Since I have not studied the relevant issues in depth, I will not show off my shame and will only talk about the direct impression. Overall, it's actually okay. This is because I personally have a high degree of acceptance of special things, and the struggle passages are very attractive, but for most people, it's not "Internet text" and their minds can't move. The last part is the part that I don't want to accept. A relatively simple summary is that the description and design of the characters are really uncomfortable. I read some comments and I can understand that the author wants to describe a real world, not too Mary Sue. I have also thought about this, but this is the problem. Generally speaking, I classify this situation as a literary youth The category is overcorrected and makes people feel very unreasonable. In other words, if you, the author, had related descriptions before, it would be more reasonable, but no, this is a problem with the description and design; Also, the image design of individual characters is very, very uninteresting and boring. Is it still the same problem as above, is it reasonable? Unreasonable; is it distinctive? In fact, it's not very distinctive; can it make people's eyes shine? It doesn't feel that good. (In my personal opinion, the author's design of your characters is a bit like shooting arrows first and then drawing targets. You first set up a few characters that feel relatively real, and then designed them according to the plot outline. This is just my personal guess, and I may not have guessed 90% of the time correctly. If I offend, please forgive me.) For example, the design is very smart, very strategic, and very experienced. A conceited person, his behavior is too one-sided to describe through words, because it is necessary to highlight the characteristics and add some complexity of human nature. The detailed description is not enough, which will lead to a sense of fragmentation. In addition, the text description removes the first level that can filter out 90% of people: "observation ability", resulting in this person's somewhat The ability is beyond ordinary people, but in some places it feels like "that's it?", But it feels a bit disconnected; in addition, the character Ren in the early stage has obviously endured a lot of torture, and he is still the older person and predecessor of the protagonist, but he behaves like a junior high school student with some mental problems, who does not understand the basic principles, lacks thinking ability and logical thinking, and does It was a shock at first sight, as if her past and her days in the veteran regiment had turned her into half a "domestic animal". Maybe it was because I didn't have enough experience. After all, I did have too little experience and low emotional intelligence. The above comments were something I came up with slowly. After all, I still had too little research on the current chapters, and they were just my first impressions. Finally, what is your opinion about the author, about the "Mary Sue" issue. If "Mary Sue" means "Long Aotian" to you, the protagonist is not actually a "Mary Sue"; but if you want to express to readers that the protagonist's "protagonist halo" is relatively small, and you just selected a unique and powerful character to tell her story, then there is a problem. , Because she is indeed the protagonist of her story, and she does have the "protagonist aura", which is talent, background, and experience. "Those who can achieve great things cannot do it without great wisdom, courage, and great fortune." There is no need to weaken the independence of the protagonist. It has been designed like this, so why should we feel uncomfortable? Can the writing style be improved to make readers accept it, or do you, the author, prefer a sense of immersion? I rarely post long reviews, and after writing them I feel that they are not very rigorous and have some omissions. If there are any mistakes, please point them out.
It's a surprising book. The IQ of the whole story is quite online, and the protagonist's IQ is even more online. Although it is a bit brain-burning, it is very refreshing to read. There are many books now involving cheating, big cheating and small cheating, many categories, but no matter what kind of cheating, what I value is how you use it. Third-rate novels give people the impression that only cheating is powerful, and the characters are like puppets, with no sense of existence. What surprises me most about this book is that from beginning to end, I feel that the heroine's thinking dominates everything. She allocates the resources and abilities at her disposal very rationally and skillfully. Even things that have nothing to do with hanging can become her winning hand. In addition, this book is a light book, which is really great. After reading books for so long, it is not easy to find a novel that suits my taste when my taste is becoming more and more picky and biased. Finally, let's talk about the recent plot. Although for the character of Zhang Yang, I can feel that the author is trying to talk about human weakness or something, but the protagonist's character is to be accurate, principled but not a virgin, and decisive. Now that Zhang Yang has achieved this, there is really no need to linger and tangle anymore. Be decisive, otherwise the character will collapse if this continues.
I want to post a post to get likes and contribution points If you like it, you will get contribution points! !
To be honest, it's a bit sad to see some people dislike the heroine, The Virgin. I generally don't like reading this type of writing, because it's basically full of naked human evil, and people will do whatever it takes to survive. What attracts me to read this book is precisely the rigorous logic and the little warmth that the heroine can retain in the cruel reality. It is undeniable that the first priority in life is to ensure one's own survival. This is true human nature, and the basis of human nature is animality. But after all, in the long process of human evolution, in order to ensure the reproduction of the race, family love and love were born, laws were established, and morality was created. These were actually all to protect the weaker members of the race from surviving. Therefore, the vast majority of parents are willing to sacrifice their lives for their children, and soldiers shed their blood for the sake of the country. I believe that most people are ordinary people. 99% Of those who enter similar scenes in this book are "Sister Ren". They are humble and cowardly, coerced by the strong, and pushed out to be cannon fodder. At this time, most people will definitely hope to have someone like the heroine to save and lead them to live a better life. It is undeniable that readers are generally willing to lead themselves into the strong, but as a strong, retain a little compassion for the weak (of course it is not without a bottom line, the heroine has her own standards.) Helping the other party when you can, sometimes it may be a kind of self-rescue. The heroine of this book looks very good so far, and the scale is appropriate.
