   Both books are great. The first and second ones have no female lead, no romantic pairing, no ambiguous relationships; it's all about the male lead cultivating immortality alone—not the saintly kind… I don't know what to say after that, but anyway, both are excellent and highly recommended!

    I think this book is pretty good. The protagonist is a bully, there's no female lead, and he has no morals. You'll feel refreshed after reading it. The protagonist has many alter egos, and while there are some moments where his intelligence seems to drop, in my opinion, it's definitely a good, satisfying read. He's all about fighting back and never backing down. It perfectly portrays the image of a bully.
