Ice Sovereign: Rising from Borderland City Lord to Greatness

Looking for Cultivation Novels with a Genius Protagonist

Traditional cultivation realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core (Purple Mansion), Nascent Soul (Out-of-Body), Deity Transformation (Spirit Division), Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Great Ascension. At the Great Ascension stage, a cultivator only stays briefly in the cultivation world before ascending. I want a story with a sensible, brisk plot and decisive characters. No protagonists with some weird mixed spiritual root.

I’ve Recently Gotten into Battle-Damaged Stories. I Want the Protagonist to Be Gravely Injured but Still Protect Others

The protagonist is always getting hurt to protect others, always coughing up blood and silently bearing it, always putting on a brave front. Please feed me recommendations! >_<

Any Books Where the Protagonist Has Talent That Shocks the Sect from the Start and Leads It to the Top?

Any completed novels where the protagonist's talent shocks the sect from the start and leads it to the top?

Stories With a Frail, Sickly Protagonist

The protagonist keeps coughing up blood and hacking, but never gets hospitalized, and is insanely powerful in a fight.

Looking for a Genius Protagonist Who Doesn't Hide Their Talent, with a Close-Knit Family That Doesn't Have to Be Powerful

Ideally, the family shouldn’t be too powerful. From the start, the protagonist takes a talent test and joins a major sect to resolve the family crisis, or gets picked out by a mysterious person and taken on as a disciple, then leads the family to prosperity. No dead parents, please. Ideally, the male lead is an only son and heir. Keep the pacing tight, but don’t make it mindless wish fulfillment.
