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.

💕I'm only reviewing this now that I've finished reading it. To be honest, I'm tired of those clichéd underdog stories, like transmigrating into a world with a useless spiritual root and then being jilted and disfigured... I used to love those a few years ago, but after reading so many, the plots are all pretty much the same. But this one is really good!
It's great! The synopsis is even funnier; it's rare to see a male lead who can't beat the female lead. 🤦
This is truly a story with a strong female lead, not just a story that uses the guise of a strong female lead to create an even stronger male lead. The female lead is very clear-headed, and every girl in the story seems ambitious; none of them are obsessed with pursuing romance or valuing love above all else.
This is so good! Please update! This is the sentiment of countless readers! The female lead is incredibly skilled in martial arts (the first time I've seen someone so much more powerful than the male lead). Intelligent but with a tragic childhood, she ultimately turns the tables on her twisted master as an adult.
I love Xiao Wu's personality! She's a skilled doctor, a master of martial arts, clear-headed, free-spirited, cute yet alluring—what girl wouldn't like her? Although her childhood memories weren't pleasant, she now has many people who love her: her younger brother Pei, the Gong sisters, Doctor Zhou, her father Xiao, Madam Shen, her younger brother, her subordinates, and so on. They all love her, and she would protect them with her life. This is probably the most beautiful ending!
Very good! First, although the male lead has a mistress, it's all a facade; he only has intimate relationships with the female lead. Second, the female lead isn't infatuated! She never blushes when the male lead is around! Third, the female lead is very strong! So far, she's the strongest character in the entire story!
Hahaha~ So hilarious! 😍😍 It started off normally, but it got sillier and sillier as it went on. The whole show is all about laughing until you drop! 😂😂 It's witty, humorous and fun, perfect for relaxing!
I love this book so much! I love the female lead's personality, and the plot is unconventional, without too much female rivalry. The author slowly portrays how women in ancient times could achieve great things, not confined to the inner quarters. The male characters aren't overly chauvinistic either; I love the book's overall perspective. It's just too short!
I absolutely love it! It's so rare to find a Dark Guard King that suits my taste.
It's really good, but there's too much screen time for the supporting characters and too few episodes. It's a bit hard to describe; it just cuts off right when you reach the exciting part... Overall, it's really good.
