Any Novels Where the Heroine Cultivates in the Mortal World the Whole Time, Like The Elusive Crane?
I'd like to read something similar to "Changsheng Xianyou". Are there any novels where the heroine cultivates immortality while staying in the mortal world, like "Lanke Qiyuan"? No CP, the heroine is the strongest, and she travels around the mortal world. There are lots of stories like this aimed at male readers, so I don't know why there aren't any for female readers. I said in the mortal world.

I'd like to read something like She Was Getting Sick of This. Can female-led, no-CP stories get any more ridiculous? Either they cram random one-sided crushes into a no-CP story, making everything ambiguous, or it's mindless wish fulfillment that assumes we have no brains. Or they can't even deliver the wish fulfillment...

So far, it is a rare and excellent book. Even a bookworm of over ten years was amazed when I saw this. My biggest impression is that the author is writing the book seriously. The characters are very three-dimensional and there is no attempt to "pander to readers" for the sake of kindness. The protagonist is both clear-headed and naive, but definitely not a naive and innocent character.
I've looked at almost 50 chapters. It's like watching a slightly idealized version of life, both realistic and beautiful. You can see the good and evil of human nature, even spirits and monsters. We can see all walks of life from the female protagonist's perspective. So far, there's no romantic pairing (the corpse scene feels a bit heartwarming...).
The story unfolds gently, offering a fresh perspective on the world from a different viewpoint; the author's writing is clearly excellent. I don't know if I'm just easily moved to tears or if I had already cried many times from the very beginning. The female protagonist possesses a somewhat naive yet profound understanding.
This is a very promising book. The characters are portrayed with great detail and are not dull. The cheerful moments will make you laugh out loud, and the emotions at the farewell scenes will bring tears to your eyes. As a book lover of over ten years, this is the first time I've written a book review.
A superb novel. The author depicts the diverse aspects of that era from the protagonist's innocent perspective, where good and evil intertwine and are inextricably linked. No one is born bad, and no one is good forever. The corpse gave me a warm feeling after watching it (｡･ω･｡)
I rarely review books beyond five stars, but this one is truly exceptional. I usually wait until I finish the entire book before giving a review, but this one compelled me. Its 8-point rating is simply too much for me; it deserves more. Let me elaborate on its merits. Its writing is like a clear mountain spring, delicate and gentle.
Five stars all around, I gave it to them. As a long-time online novel enthusiast of over ten years, I've read everything from simple, light novels to sophisticated palace intrigue and domestic dramas, and now, after experiencing the trials of life, I enjoy more lighthearted, exciting stories. But this is my absolute favorite and best read.
Tell the story slowly and deliberately Simple and elegant, yet full of charm The setting of non-human beings without a creator's perspective is the greatest good. Incisive and insightful, brimming with compassion and kindness towards all people. How fortunate I am to have come across this article.
This is a truly rare masterpiece. Before opening the pages, I never imagined that the words "lone zombie" could be written so coldly and beautifully. She opened her eyes from a pool of blood in a mass grave, the moonlight illuminating her tattered clothes, her chest devoid of a heartbeat, only the emptiness of an eternal night.
The writing is superb, the emotions are delicate, and it perfectly depicts the struggles of ordinary people in a chaotic world: the herb gatherer's reluctance to part with his friend, the fortune teller's undeserved misfortune, the father and daughter's desperate struggle for survival, and the mountain villagers' gratitude towards outsiders.
