Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots
Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

A writer friend of mine recently got into a serious accident because he was updating too slowly. He was put in a sack and beaten up badly; he's still in the hospital. I just wanted to tell you about it!
This is an absolutely fantastic read! Unlike typical cultivation novels, the protagonist is clear-headed, organized, cautious, and knows how to assess situations. He knows when to play it safe and when to fight, without wasting time. Unlike many male protagonists who constantly cause trouble and make enemies of the world, this one isn't a philandering bastard who stalks every pretty woman.
To give a brief review, this book is actually quite good. Unlike other immortality novels, the protagonist in this book seems to have done nothing, yet he also seems to have done everything. He's a rather cunning protagonist. The plot has good logic and foreshadowing. I'd give the writing style 4 stars, although I think some parts could be polished. It's one of the few truly good books I'd recommend. I hope the author continues to improve.
It's alright, the writing is quite good.
Today on the subway, I was reading a novel on Tomato.com when a pretty girl behind me suddenly asked, "Are you reading a novel?" I said, "Yes." She looked at me with a lovesick expression and said, "Are all boys who read novels as handsome, dashing, charming, and irresistible as you?" I punched her and made her cry. To be honest, I'm not even one ten-thousandth as handsome as the guys who liked this post!
At least I saw a person who, if born immortal, never interacts with others, what's the difference between him and a walking corpse? Humans are, after all, social animals. They can be sad, they can be angry. A man without women, no matter how immortal, is no better than a eunuch.
I watched it all in one go, it was great, keep it up! Five stars!
I've read 594 chapters, and there are basically no problems. I quite like this kind of immortality-seeking strategy, but sometimes the relationships are explicitly stated. The characters in the novel might not notice, but we, with our omniscient perspective, can easily see them.
It's alright. I always felt the male lead was a hypocrite, just a feeling (no offense intended). Although the author did manage to portray a bit of leisure, it still didn't quite capture the feeling of immortality. It touched on elements like time travel, invincibility, and immortality, but didn't explore each of these themes in great detail.
The setup in the beginning was excellent, creating a significant gap between the protagonist and novice cultivators. Also, it seems the protagonist has used up all 360 green lotuses and 360 rejuvenation techniques, making him invincible.
