Looking for something similar to Heroes Contest for Supremacy in Troubled Times: Summoning Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, from the start. Historical, alternate-history, wuxia, or alternate-history wuxia. It must be a new book released in 2026. Nothing that has made the rankings, and it must be updating in real time. Sound logic, smooth plot, exciting fights,

Five stars for Night City storyline I'll give you an extra star for the real-life heart transplant plot, making it a total of 6 stars. You're welcome.
The logic is good, and the game's storyline is very engaging. The real-life plot is terrible, and the romance is written as poorly as the original story. I'll give five stars for the game's plot, and at most two stars for the real-life plot.
It's a decent novel, quite interesting overall. The protagonist's decisive and fearless killing in the game is very enjoyable. However, the real-life plot severely drags down the game's storyline. Instead of giving him a heart condition, it would have been better to write him as a normal person from the start.
The writing is decent, but the plot is essentially a variation of the "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" trope. David's original body gets caught in various unforeseen circumstances, making it frustrating, while the protagonist, possessing his body, can wreak havoc, which is satisfying.
The woman named Chen Rui finished the show and actually wanted to explore the secret of the protagonist. The protagonist was indeed thinking that she was angry. If you are afraid that she will be angry, tell her everything. The show is over, but the other plots are still very good. I like the real world so much. Great work for the author. Also, Chen Rui's description is so good. I like it. Especially Chen Rui can inherit the protagonist's cheats. I think this is the best thing.
Let me say this again! Skip the reality and you'll get a perfect legendary David and a wandering AI protagonist 😋 Minus one point for the female character descriptions below 😄
It's really well written, the logic is flawless. Let's talk about the shortcomings. This book uses a dual narrative structure, but so far, most people, including myself, seem to prefer the Night City storyline. The real-world storyline is indeed a bit boring; not only are there no exciting moments, but there's also a lot of it. In comparison, I'd much rather see the protagonist controlling David, doing whatever he wants, and getting some face-slapping moments.
The author's writing style is quite smooth so far. The protagonist gains access to the game, then manipulates David to play on his behalf and materializes game items. Both the game and reality storylines have main goals and are well-integrated, with realistic logic. Regardless of whether it's realistic or not, it's at least logically feasible.
Please reduce the amount of realistic content; people mainly watch Night City, not reality. The problem has not improved and has even become more serious. Things have improved somewhat now.
A good book. The game portion is immersive, and the possession aspect perfectly solves the problems of other 2077 fanfics, especially Border Walker, which are either too similar and boring or too unrealistically altered. It gives the reader the experience of personally controlling a V-Shadow version of David and changing his destiny, while retaining David's innocent boyishness and Lucy's romantic…
