   Oh my god, this book is seriously amazing! It meets all the requirements of the post. The male lead is purely stat-based, and there's a charming contrast between his stats and his personality. Just go for it, folks! (There aren't many books I can finish in one sitting, but this one I read from beginning to end. The plot twists were so satisfying and exhilarating. Sometimes I really want to drag the male leads from other novels I've read over here to learn from He An how to be a top-tier character. He An is just too authoritative!)

   The Li Changsheng series is awesome! Li Changsheng, the younger brother of Laozi (Li Er), the founder of Taoism, is a grandmaster of Taoism. This "young man" who is over two thousand years old can be said to be the ceiling of human combat power. He vowed not to ascend until he had killed all the demons in the world. The protagonist is strong, has an awesome background, is not brainless, has no ambiguous relationships or romantic pairings, and is a reserved, approachable, and down-to-earth male lead who is not a saint. He is decisive in killing, and I love him! I've already read it three times. It's definitely worth getting into. Viewing order: ① Taoist Exorcist ② Taoist Supreme Master's Hidden Ghosts ③ Supreme Master's Inquiry into Longevity (This is the longest of the series, with over a thousand chapters. It's not available on Tomato, so you'll need to search for it on Kugou or a browser. It's worth mentioning that although it's the third book chronologically, it's actually the author's first. The writing style and setting were still developing, so the early chapters might be a bit toxic. It's recommended to start reading from chapter 200 onwards; the author's writing improves significantly, and it gets incredibly good later.) ④ Taoist Supreme Master's Bloodshed ⑤ All Great Daos Originate from Supreme Master (This book is not yet finished. The author says he will return to write this one after finishing the sixth book.) ⑥ Supreme Master's Control of Ghosts

    I highly recommend this book. It's a traditional urban supernatural novel. The protagonist's master is a purple-robed exorcist who joins 749 and is in charge of supernatural cases in a city. The demon-slaying and monster-exorcising scenes are very engaging, and the zombies are incredibly powerful, differentiated by bloodline and eye color: red, green, yellow, blue, white, and black. There's also a purple-gold one.
