    Highly recommend "It's Over! They're All Mental Illusionists (Compass of Doom)"! It has all the classic elements of traditional fantasy, such as cultivation and adventure in secret realms, and the protagonist's leveling up and monster-slaying is incredibly satisfying. What's even more amazing is the "mental illusionist" setting—those around the protagonist always interpret their ordinary actions as unfathomable schemes. This contrast is full of comedic effect, and watching others seriously "interpret" the protagonist is both hilarious and addictive. It has the charm of traditional fantasy while maintaining a lighthearted and humorous atmosphere, making it a particularly stress-relieving read!

    Reader note

    The high-quality setting and plot are both captivating! The protagonist, Shen Chenxin, is a lowly servant at the Qinglan Sect whose spiritual roots cannot be detected. His life is as insignificant as dust. Who would have thought that the coal dust on the back of his hand and the blood jade he wears hold the truth behind the massacre of the Blood Lotus Sect? His "useless root" is also the only vessel to hold the spiritual power of the Blood Lotus. The story of this sweeping boy's underdog rise to power is incredibly compelling! The subsequent plot is also solid: tempering his body in the Forbidden Spirit Valley to withstand the lightning tribulation, exploring the library to uncover secrets, and even fusing the spiritual power of all races during the war between immortals and demons, finding a way for mortals and cultivators to share spiritual energy—the growth storyline is both exciting and profound. Furthermore, the depiction of the cultivation world—the conflicts between immortals and demons, the secrets of various sects—is full of detail and highly immersive. For readers who enjoy Xianxia stories of underdog rises and ensemble cultivation, this is definitely worth reading; it offers a unique perspective on cultivation.

    I recommend a book—"The Legend of Fengdu," a story about a reborn Emperor of Fengdu and the loyal and humorous Black and White Impermanence. It's worth reading! — "Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Iron-Mouthed Judgment..." Suddenly, a shout came from afar. Zhang Gou'er couldn't help but look over curiously. He saw a middle-aged Taoist priest, holding a banner in his left hand and a whisk in his right, walking towards him. When he reached the village entrance, the Taoist priest saw a large shady spot under the big locust tree where Zhang Gou'er was sitting, so he walked over, didn't say a word, and found a clean blue stone to sit down. Zhang Gou'er was seeing a Taoist priest for the first time and was very curious, staring at him intently. After a while, the Taoist priest couldn't stand Zhang Gou'er's burning gaze any longer, so he said, "Little fellow, do I look strange?" Zhang Gou'er was engrossed in staring at the Taoist priest and was suddenly interrupted. His face turned red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment. The Taoist priest, finding it amusing, asked, "Little fellow, what's your name? Are you from this village?" Zhang Gou'er, seeing the priest's question, looked up and replied, "My name is Zhang Gou'er, from Shiqiao Village." The Taoist priest nodded. Curious, Zhang Gou'er asked, "Who are you? What do you do?" "This humble Taoist is the Mad Taoist of Zhongnan Mountain. As for what I do?" The Mad Taoist said, shaking his banner and smiling, "I'm a fortune teller, of course. I can predict people's fortunes and misfortunes, and even their past and present lives." Zhang Gou'er was astonished! He had never seen such a reclusive master in his life. Zhang Gou'er lowered his head, his eyes darting around, his little mind lost in thought. After a moment, he looked up at the Taoist priest and said, "Who knows if you're just bragging? Why don't you tell my fortune?" The eccentric Taoist priest smiled and replied, "I charge for fortune telling, do you have any money?" Upon hearing that he had to pay, Zhang Gou'er's face turned a deep purplish-red with embarrassment. He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a handful of bright red dates, saying, "I don't have any money, but how about these dates? These are from Widow Li's tree, they're very sweet!" The eccentric Taoist priest looked at the dates Zhang Gou'er offered, their bright red color quite tempting. He was thirsty, so he took them, picked one, and popped it into his mouth. It was indeed sweet and delicious. "Seeing your sincerity, I won't charge you. Come here, let me take a closer look." The eccentric Taoist priest had nothing better to do, so he beckoned Zhang Gou'er to come forward. After carefully examining Zhang Gou'er's appearance, the eccentric Taoist noticed that the child's face seemed shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to discern anything. The Taoist was secretly surprised and asked, "Little fellow, do you know your birth date and time?" Zhang Gou'er, who happened to remember his birth year and month, readily gave it to the Taoist. The Taoist then closed his eyes and began to calculate. Zhang Gou'er stared intently at the Taoist, but after a long silence, he grew dissatisfied: "Are you trying to fool me?" The Taoist opened his eyes, examined Zhang Gou'er carefully again, and exclaimed, "Strange! Truly strange! This humble Taoist cannot even calculate your destiny!"
