   There are quite a few, but I don't know why the ratings are low. I read some on another account. The one I felt was pretty good was *Linglu Guitan*, and its sequel is *Ten Divinations, Nine Inaccurate*. It's quite well-written, but it leaves a lot of plot holes, and you have to keep filling them in the sequel. If you can't handle that, you can read the first one first. The male lead is an orphan, and he's constantly targeted by the Immortals later on, haha. I haven't finished *The Demon Hunter's Notes* yet, but it's not bad so far. *The Swordsman* is also okay, but it's a bit too easy to hide things; the foreshadowing is too shallow.
