Cultivation, fantasy, or historical fiction are all fine.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?
Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
Real Wuxia Novels

It fits perfectly, five stars. I felt it got really bad starting from chapter 70. So verbose, and everyone has a system. What's the use of a Demon-Slaying Sword Manual? If you don't want to give it to someone, then don't; either kill them or give it to them. All that whining and rambling...
I hope that later on, I can write a story about a protagonist who spends several years defeating one sect after another until they submit.
Okay!!! But wasn't it supposed to be a no-female-lead story? How come there's going to be a female-lead soon??
This book makes a lot of sense!
It's very well written, and the concept is ingenious and original.
Author, please write faster and update more frequently! It's so good! If there weren't a female lead, this book would be a masterpiece.
A very good book, highly recommended! It may have some minor flaws, but those don't detract from its overall excellence! It's also a gem among the fanfiction of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Positive values, genuine humanity
Fiery and lively, hahaha
Wasn't it supposed to be a story without a female lead? So how come in chapter 201 he tells Yilin that he'll marry her when he comes back?
