The temperature gradually warmed up later on. 🚸Warning: The author himself admits it's a rambling, disjointed narrative! The plot develops very slowly. 🐌 The writing style isn't very good. 🐌🐌The second book features a male protagonist who, as the title suggests, is a refined scoundrel. He appears polite on the outside but is a pervert on the inside. Initially, he seems very polite and indifferent to the female lead, but he's actually even more cold-hearted towards others. 🚸Warning: The book may contain some disturbing elements, and the characters are not particularly likable.

    These are all of them!! The first one looks a bit like Battle Through the Heavens, but it also has magic. The second book is incomparable to those cultivation novels that only describe fighting.

    Reader note

    The protagonist is inherently suspicious and cunning, constantly scheming against others. Both sides are highly intelligent; there isn't a single good person in the entire book—everyone is playing mind games. It's a horror novel with a very fresh theme; even the story itself seems to be deceiving the reader, with a very interesting twist at the end. This new book is worth checking out.
