I want to recommend an awesome novel to my friend who never ever read anything like Chinese and Korean novels ps she is a girl but I am not sure what genres she likes could you help me please pick the most appealing novel that might introduce her to this part of the world?
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/39408/beware-of-chicken - comedy + light romance, xianxia tropes, and of course, it's in well written English to ease her into the genre.

IDK your friend's preferences, but maybe: Cultivation Chat Group, Gourmet of Another World & Black Belly Wife (Qidian/Webnonel) Douluo Dalu Condor Heroes trilogy & The Duke of Mount Deer (both by Jin Yong & already adapted several times to dramas)
