My Opponent Is the Grim Reaper

Long, Satisfying Stories or Stories With a Cunning Protagonist

Please recommend good novels, preferably over a thousand chapters, or I'll finish them in a few days. No modern urban sweet romances. Superpower awakenings, the apocalypse, or sci-fi are fine. Don't drag out trivial matters. Cultivation and fantasy are fine, but no tired old tropes. Creative ideas are welcome.

Looking for High-Quality Mystery Stories, Preferably with No Romance

Please recommend some high-quality novels with thoughtful mysteries. Ideally, little to no romance. Anything like these would be great: Black Heiress, The Evil Cultivator's Boundless Merit, Best Lyricist.

Any Stories Without Cheating Scumbags, Where Both the Men and Women Are Intelligent?

Modern romance or historical romance, with or without CP, either is fine.
