   I recommend you check out these two books. The first one is too short but very enjoyable; it starts by roasting and eating Pleasant Goat and his simp Boiling Goat, sprinkled with cumin. The second one is absolutely fantastic; it's dark to the extreme.

    This book truly captures the essence of the Great Love Immortal Venerable! It's not just a superficial imitation of dark fantasy; it's a masterpiece! The setting is a masterpiece, and the plot is a masterpiece too! The pacing is a bit slow, but it gets really good later on!! Please be patient and read on! This is the first book I've read on Tomato that truly features a well-developed, flesh-and-blood protagonist! Other dark fantasy novel protagonists either just rely on cheat codes and show off, or they use the guise of decisive ruthlessness to justify their pretentious actions. Only the protagonist in this book reflects on his own character flaws, analyzes why he failed, and never complains about fate or blames his opponents for plotting against him. This is what a true dark fantasy protagonist should be like!
