   I'm recommending a new book: This Sect Leader Isn't So Serious. It's about a sect leader with an eccentric style who leads a group of equally unconventional disciples. Amidst chaos and commotion, they transform their sect into their warmest haven on this continent, creating a story full of laughter.

   Reader note

   Unlike some novels where the protagonist has to build everything from scratch, this novel begins with the protagonist inheriting a fairly complete sect. The protagonist is also a troublemaker, quite hilarious, and the elders under his command are equally idiotic, each more ridiculous than the last. This new book is just starting out; it might not be long enough yet, but I believe it's worth reading!
