    It's hard to say whether it's extremely realistic or not, but this book is extremely realistic. The plot is unexpected, and there are no mindless stories. The protagonist is an extremely profit-driven person. This is not a mindless story! It's not a mindless story! It's not a mindless story! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good story, go elsewhere. If you don't read this carefully and don't use your brain, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing.

    The world-building is rather dark, rife with intrigue and power struggles. However, the characters are fleshed out, and the villains don't lose their intelligence. The protagonist has emotions, but his personality is ruthless and decisive; in the middle of the story, he slaughters nearly an entire city of mortals, rogue cultivators, and immortal soldiers. It seems like a story worth exploring.
