   Hopefully, this is the kind of book you're describing. The protagonist's group consists of seven teams, which the protagonist recruits one by one, leading them to fight against world-destroying, god-level combatants. The book includes intellectual battles, group battles (supporting characters are not just accessories to the protagonist), death games, a death-themed girl group battle, a humorous cooking competition, world-destroying battles, and even world-destroying battles. There are already over 200 chapters in drafts, all hand-written. This book features a "philosophical warrior" who spouts Kant's theories and always uses twisted logic to fight the toughest battles. There's a narcissistic and arrogant "academic charlatan" who always gets into big trouble but stubbornly perseveres and breaks through the odds. There's a high-class, arrogant male protagonist who uses metacognitive intellectual combat to the point that a group of world-destroying, god-level martial artists follow him. There's a female protagonist who starts with four layers of disguise, a martial god and a super-rich tycoon, always leading a group of ordinary people through catastrophic battles. The team spirit she and the protagonist's group forge together is: to kill the impossible. The epic creation-level portrayal of the villainous ensemble group "Wandering Spiders" gives the antagonists complete character arcs, making them neither mechanically created villains nor mindlessly stupid ones. The alien civilization is also depicted in great detail, with each alien martial arts expert having their own independent story and growth arc. Within this story, nation-destroying warbands such as "Immortals and Calamities," "The Apocalypse of the Burial of Gods," "Eight Stars and One Radiance," and "Dreamland of Wonderland" portray a rich and expansive world view of martial arts heroes. The most compelling part is watching the protagonist lead a group of ordinary people to continuously overcome various superhuman challenges, defeating nation-destroying, world-destroying, and god-level forces. They don't rely on leveling up or increasing combat power, but rather on their understanding and tactical coordination to repeatedly "kill the impossible" and "kill despair." The early chapters have a touch of suspense, with foreshadowing and plot resolution spanning from ten to a hundred chapters. The plot progresses quickly, driven entirely by the motivations of the characters, and so far, there haven't been any filler chapters up to chapter 200. The game features exciting combat (supporting characters are not mere accessories), thrilling strategic battles, comedic moments, tear-jerking scenes, a narrative of political intrigue, a behind-the-scenes boss with multiple identities, and a grand, multi-faceted world. I hope you enjoy these elements!
