Survival in the Martial World: I Am the Sword Immortal of Shu Mountain

It's disgusting that the protagonist always willingly gets ripped off; he could have bargained down the price so many times, but he didn't. He lost a huge number of spirit peaches—tens of thousands—without even using them, and his strength didn't improve at all. Survival and strength are paramount, and the protagonist in the author's story shares this concept but always does the opposite.

It's a bit messy, but you can tell the author put a lot of effort into it. The plot is intricate and thoughtful, unlike the mindless, invincible stories that are common nowadays.

I don't want to say anything more, it's too chaotic. Isn't this supposed to be about survival? Survival usually involves a twisted side of humanity; this isn't survival at all.
