    [A story of initial angst followed by sweetness + satisfying read + silly humor + loving interactions + strong leads] The protagonist, after being killed at the beginning, transforms into the leader of a demonic sect, relentlessly tormenting his enemies. Although the process is tortuous, the protagonist, who dislikes wasting words, successfully wipes out his entire enemy force. The male lead doesn't appear much in the early stages but silently supports the other protagonist. The other protagonist is gradually "turned gay" by the male lead, slowly realizing his feelings; he's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. The story is still being updated; those interested can check it out. It's a traditional ancient fantasy novel, with a male-oriented style.

    I'd like to recommend my own work. The protagonist isn't a saint or forced into a saintly role, there's no romance, it's purely about exhilarating battles, and the villains are powerful and cunning, without any forced stupidity. It avoids clichéd formulaic storytelling; everyone is a normal person.

For over twenty years, blood and violence swept through the land, dragging three generations into the raging tide of the times. Thugs and bandits, one self-proclaimed hero after another, took the stage, only to tumble from history's spotlight in disgrace.

    Great read! Kai Zhongkan's novels, starting with "The Path of Feng Shui Cultivation," followed by "One Man and One Mouse Cultivate Immortality," and then "Mecha Immortality: Invincible from Exile to Mars," are now complete. These three books form a cultivation trilogy. Now, he's back with a new book, but this time it's not about cultivation. Instead, it focuses on things closer to home: feng shui, human nature, kung fu, strategic planning, breaking through barriers, the eight major martial arts sects, and his journey of overcoming obstacles to build a business empire and leverage regional military power… This new book is called "The Hidden Game of Horsemanship," where "horsemanship" represents feng shui, and "hidden game of human nature" encapsulates the world. The book's message: In this world, the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts. But you can't be afraid; if you are, you lose. Highly recommended!
