If you're tired of the same old cultivation-leveling tropes, I highly recommend "The Yin-Yang Master: Steal My Magic Weapons, and a Hundred Ghosts Parade!" The protagonist's cheat-like abilities and profession will definitely surprise you! He's not a sword immortal, not a mage, but a nearly lost folk craftsman—a paper maker! A sheet of yellow paper and a pair of scissors are his divine weapons. While others fight by exchanging spiritual energy, he fights entirely with his craft. Paper figures become generals, paper cranes capture souls, and paper dragons can even wipe out the battlefield with a single breath! Want to see how the protagonist uses the most traditional folk craftsmanship to create mind-blowing fantasy operations? You definitely won't regret investing in this book!
