    These are really good... The protagonists of these three books aren't particularly frivolous, but they all have a kind of quiet madness that comes with being docile on the surface but ruthless when it comes to real fighting. The protagonist in the second book is really smart, constantly tricking people, which is very satisfying to read... Currently, the second and third books don't have female leads, and there aren't any ambiguous scenes with girls, so they're not gay stories... Perhaps it's the author's writing style, but the second book has a lot of female fans, so if you're worried about being influenced, I suggest turning off the comments. The fourth book has a single female lead, but the romance is pretty good. Towards the end, it feels like a crazy couple, the kind where you can really see the shipping moments. In the middle, I was so anxious I wanted to push my head down because this was the first time I'd ever shipped heterosexual couples in this kind of story. I read the first book so long ago that I forgot if there was a couple, I only remember that there wasn't a female lead at the beginning.

    It's arguably the pinnacle of fantasy comedy! A world-class powerhouse disguises himself as a complete weakling to roam the heavens, with gods, kings, and immortal emperors all playing disguises—a premise that inherently provides a satisfying experience. From a clay figure in a newbie village causing a sect-wide uproar, to a shopping list turning into a sword manual and underwear becoming a chaotic treasure, every scene is filled with adorable contrasts and hilarious moments of overwhelming power. The plot is wildly imaginative, featuring alter egos fighting each other, villainous plots turning into fireworks, and schizophrenic romances. Absolute strength collides with a laid-back, survival-oriented approach, creating a wonderfully unique experience. It offers the exhilarating feeling of an invincible protagonist while also providing laugh-out-loud moments of absurd comedy. High-energy from start to finish, it's a true stress-relieving masterpiece!

    On the surface, he's a lazy bum, but in reality, he's incredibly powerful. The story is incredibly relatable; the protagonist fortuitously inherits a Daoist technique, studying by day and cultivating immortality by night, secretly astonishing everyone while living in seclusion in the city. The rest of the characters are ordinary people. It's relatable, emotionally resonant, and leaves you wanting more.
