Western Magical Continents
I'm looking for books like "Magic and Martial Arts in Another World". Something like Tian Can Tu Dou's "The Warcraft Sword Saint in Another World", or another book I can't remember where the protagonist was a monk who knew Shaolin martial arts. After reading those two, I just can't get into other fantasy novels set on magical continents. Must have magic.

Looking for Well-Written Western Fantasy Novels
I really love Central European-style Western fantasy novels, but I don't want them to be overly realistic. The dirt and filth don't necessarily need to be described, though coal miners and chimney sweeps can still appear. I want a novel with prose good enough to perfectly portray the grand splendor and magnificence of the Western Middle Ages.

Aside from the slightly cheesy opening (actually, I felt this possession plot was better than the soul-transfer one), everything else was great. The author's writing is excellent (I quite liked the previous book), and the plot and psychological details are vivid and interesting.
I'm giving myself a five-star review! Guys, feel free to give me any opinions or suggestions; I'll definitely take them to heart!
It's a good, very enjoyable read, but it's too short; I finished it in a couple of bites. So far, there aren't any major flaws, except the cross-border battle part was a bit awkward. The supporting characters' narration made me think the protagonist had some grand plan or purpose, but it turned out to be just random, unpredictable actions—very confusing. Hopefully, the later chapters will improve, or at least include more slice-of-life moments, sweet scenes, and farming/development elements.
It's well-written, but I don't like this kind of Western fantasy world with an Eastern background 🤦 See you again sometime 🤦
Well written, full of Western fantasy elements, the protagonist is intelligent, and the younger sister is cute. I hope the younger sister is the main female lead. I also hope the author's work gets better and better. I'll add it to my bookshelf to support them. @LovesSweetFlowerStuffedChicken @LovesSweetFlowerStuffedChicken
The children were lured in by the book's title.
It's still a very good read. It has a Western fantasy setting, a relaxed pacing, intelligent main characters, and interesting interactions with the female lead. I noticed some readers have reservations about the "virginity-based" technique in the comments. I initially couldn't stand it either, but the author said it will be broken soon, probably around chapter 200, which is acceptable.
It's a novel with a system, but the system is basically useless; it follows the traditional "knowledge is power" formula. The characters' introductions aren't particularly abrupt, and their stats are reasonably reasonable in the early stages. Overall, it's a pretty good Western fantasy novel.
I feel the mother isn't as simple as she seems; she probably has connections to the royal family, and may even have played a role in the father's death. She likely knew all along that the protagonist had transmigrated. The younger sister wasn't as clingy to the original body before, but her drastic personality change later on was probably influenced by the mother, used to test the protagonist.
It's well-written, but I have a suggestion: don't deliberately create ambiguity like other formulaic novels, or could you describe less of the romantic relationship between the male and female leads? There are so many books like this now, and I don't want to read more ambiguous and suggestive stories. Please focus more on the main characters and the plot. This is just a suggestion.
