    I'm not sure if it qualifies as authentic, but it's a post-apocalyptic survival story featuring a few half-baked Taoist priests. The enemy (Zerg) is very powerful and intelligent. These purely human Taoist priests gradually grow stronger with their limited Taoist cultivation. There's no system, only a few superpowers (obtained by consuming the enemy). It's not a wish-fulfillment story; the ending sees Earth still in the Zerg's clutches, and their counterattack only manages to secure sunlight. It's a very unique story; you can check it out if you like.
