Any tips? What should I get?

ITR 1

Im in a small competitive group in my uni and we do small competitions and train with cses (once a year some go to a big tournament ).

But many here say that leetcode is better for my career and cses is trash. Why? Whats the difference and why everybody does leetcode insted? Should I switch?

Im one of 3 girls in my class. Im studying there for 8 ish houres a day (its a special class for science and cs in my school)

But when i speak with other girls I feel im not as mature and I cant hold convos with them at their level of expression, but with other boys (especially in my class) conversations feel equal.

Has being one of the only girls in my class for years has been holding me back emotionally? What to do about it?

(As a result of my class/environment my hobbies and after school activities envolve the same ppl too...)

Why everything reacently is pure slop?

Ive picked them up bc of the vibe but absolutly despised:

ACOTAR, the housemaid, The Atlas 6

Mid for me:

Harry potter, Mistborn, rick riorden universe, ASOIAF

BEST BOOKS:

ender's game, his dark materials

Are there books that are not tryna be snart but actually smart with no romantasy slop and nice outworldly settings? And preferabbly translated to languages (mine is kinda niche)
