Where Have All the High-Quality High-Martial-Arts Stories Gone?
Looking for books like Reborn, I Tutor My Younger Sister and Shock the Nation. What kind of awful high-martial-arts stories are people writing these days? They all start with a spiritual power or awakening test, where the protagonist gets looked down on. Then some school beauty from another class has the highest talent or whatever, and he does too. Are there any that don’t...

I haven't read the prequel, but I do have some guesses, which I won't go into here since I'm still quite confused. However, I do know the protagonist has a very powerful background, and his style is very interesting—he takes revenge without hesitation. It's a male-oriented novel, so some parts might be a bit awkward. The protagonist is rather impulsive, but that fits his personality.
The plot is still just as exciting, I suggest starting with the previous book ✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧, Juejuezi Still full of passion, 👍
This is one of the books I read more carefully than others. Unlike some mindless wish-fulfillment novels where you don't even need to think about the characters, the male lead isn't the only one who dominates; his brothers also have their own distinct personalities, making the characters well-developed. Furthermore, the female lead isn't the type I dislike.
After finishing "Demon Dragon and White Tiger," I couldn't find a replacement. Finally, I have "Ono and Shiro" again! I love them so much, I don't even know how to describe it. It's just that it's not finished yet, and I don't want to finish it, afraid it will be gone again 😢😢😢
I love reading this book and have been following it since the first one. I hope the author can update 20-30 pages a day, not too much so they don't tire themselves out 🤭
The protagonist is as ruthless as ever, completely unyielding, and I love this kind of protagonist.
This is the best post-apocalyptic novel I've ever read. Please, please, don't have a female lead!
This book is really good, especially the part describing Lü Bu's hundreds-of-rounds battle with Sun Wukong for Diao Chan. However, Xue Baochai is indeed too strong; she needs to... With Darius's outer edge and Noxus Guillotine, this M4... A six-times-magic sweep is a guaranteed kill. Aside from that, I admire Zhuge Liang's strategy against flowers.
I've caught up to the third book, and it's still very enjoyable, but I feel it's not as good as the "Little White Tiger" book. I guess it's because Ono has people protecting him the whole way, while Little White Tiger and his group earned their way up step by step on their own, losing countless brothers and enduring countless beatings before becoming the "King of Spring Palace."
It's great to watch, and the characters in each installment are so well-developed and vivid! Even the minor characters are so real and relatable!
