While rooted in traditional fantasy, this novel incorporates many novel ideas. There are no extraordinary encounters. The protagonist uses his wisdom to turn enemies into friends and defeat demons. He achieves everything through his own strength. It's not a system novel, there are no powerful figures, and the protagonist's personality undergoes multiple transformations throughout his life. The cultivation realms and plot differ significantly from traditional fantasy novels, hence the absence of martial arts tournaments or sect competitions. As a long-time fantasy novel enthusiast, I wonder what the point is for powerful cultivators to waste time organizing tournaments and taking on useless disciples? They could use that time to recruit more cultivators, increase their own strength, and live longer! Intrigue and deception are the norm in the cultivation world. Every character, from the protagonist to the supporting roles, has their own personality and independent thought. There are no weaklings or protagonist halos. Therefore, I've written a cultivation world devoid of sentimentality, filled only with ruthless and cunning individuals. The protagonist gradually turns the cultivation world around through his own strength. The novel highlights a chivalrous spirit through contrast. I've always had a question, a question that comes to mind for me as a long-time fanfiction reader: Why do so many fantasy novel protagonists end up with the same personality? Don't they need to grow and mature? Are they born with ruthless decisiveness and an eternally unyielding Daoist heart?

The first book was a novel I wrote over ten years ago. It was published on other platforms, and although I wasn't signed to a contract, it still had a considerable readership at the time. Later, I went to university and worked in Beijing, and it was soon frozen due to a hiatus in updates. Now I've improved the plot and restarted it, but it's flopped like crazy.
