Ascending the Heavenly Steps

I’ve Noticed a Problem: Most New Books Are Extremely Lackluster

Do People Not Like Traditional High Fantasy and Wish-Fulfillment Stories with Lots of Beautiful Women Anymore?

I'm looking for books similar to "From the Start, I Saved the Female Demon Lord. Now That I'm Back Invincible, Why Are You Crying?"

Looking for Traditional Fantasy Without a System

The protagonist reveals their talent in public and is fought over and valued by various factions. I want a story where they level up and move to new maps. Preferably no female lead. Wish-fulfillment and comeback stories are both fine. I've read too many System-based gimmick stories lately and want to return to classic Eastern fantasy.

Early-Appearing Female Leads in Battle Stories

Besides fantasy novels with early female lead appearances and lots of romance, recommend more. No making the characters stupid, and there must be a romance plot. I'm pretty picky about what I read.
