Recommend Books with Principled Protagonists. A Little Too Compassionate Is Fine
Modern novels always go out of their way to avoid making the protagonist a saint, preferring to portray them as petty or villainous.

Ah, preferably something like a nine-tailed fox, of course. And the protagonist should be ruthless when the situation calls for it.

This is a very good novel about strange beasts. The protagonist in it is no longer a human being, but a beast. It is actually a real novel about strange beasts. Recommendation: 1. Knowing that he would sleep for a long time, he crawled into a cave without sealing it, and was found. 2. It kills people without killing them cleanly, causing someone to find its location and kill them every time. 3.
It's great! The plot is original and the writing is smooth. People who say there are flaws probably think that the monsters saving people doesn't make sense, but those people must have a dark mind and think that becoming a beast means destroying the world and extinguishing humanity. But sometimes animals also have a kind heart.
It was a very enjoyable read late at night, except that the complete sleep phase after evolution was a bit of a letdown. What if the evolution time gets longer and longer, and someone ambushes them? 🤔🤔🤔 Or maybe they'll seriously injure the protagonist while they're asleep. Just a normal question, nothing more. Overall, the story was quite good.
Next, I will use the most direct, truthful, straightforward, hurtful, hardcore, decisive, punctual, pain-spot-hitting, merciless, incisive, direct, and straightforward approach, without preamble, without formalities, without sentimentality, without unnecessary words, without beating around the bush, without fuss, without pretense, without affectation, without rambling, without dragging things out…
This is very similar to a nanny novel. The plot revolves around serving the royal family and people of Bilin Kingdom, and the story is consistently related to the princess of Bilin Kingdom. There are currently over 280 chapters, and the latest plot development is that the protagonist dies, is resurrected, and encounters the princess again (the princess is in danger, and the nanny comes to her…
It's so good, it's not bad at all, just watch it and no one will say a word.
It's a good read, and the writing is very mature. However, the map described feels very small, and it's not easy to find the male protagonist in the deep mountains and forests. But the fact that he's found so easily makes it seem like the mountains aren't vast or that dangerous.
It's just right! The divine deer is spirited and saves the world. The protagonist's abilities are also very fitting, like walking on water and manipulating plants. The evolved form is also incredibly beautiful, perfectly capturing the feeling of a divine deer. He's ruthless towards bad guys, killing them when necessary, and becoming stronger by doing good.
Superb! Absolutely delicious, non-toxic and edible, with no nonsensical or bizarre actions. The little princess is also well-described, without the disgusting, deliberately cutesy language found in other stories, like "eating again" or "potato."
It's a pretty good light novel where the protagonist is a beast-type character in a martial arts world, but the protagonist is a magical beast. The people and events the protagonist encounters have a touch of "divine" and "fate." Some scenes feel like a deer with sentience rather than a human transforming into a deer, which is a minor issue. Currently, it seems that the transformation doesn't happen without a romantic pairing.
