    I highly recommend this one. I finished 700 chapters in three days. The modern-day Shennong has returned from testing poisons. Although the rating is low, the content is still very good. The protagonist is extremely loyal to his friends and family, and his motto is "As long as I have food to eat, I will never let you go hungry." The protagonist (Ryuzaki Makoto) uses Suzuran High School as his base during Japan's bubble economy era, pulling those abandoned by society out of despair and establishing a yakuza group (Shinryu-kai). He continuously expands, absorbing influence and combining yakuza and business acumen. He is incredibly cunning and calculating. The enemy is cold-blooded and ruthless; the gang is essentially a one-man show, operating under a dictatorship. The underlings are both respectful and fearful of the protagonist, but undeniably loyal. The gang operates on a meritocracy: if you have ability and are favored by the protagonist, your background doesn't matter; how high you climb depends entirely on yourself. The system is relatively prominent in the early stages but becomes largely invisible later (it can't keep up with the protagonist's pace). While the protagonist has many women, he approaches them all with the ambition of expanding his gang—except for the landlady, of course. This story contains elements from "Hot-Blooded High School" and "Crows Zero." Don't worry if you haven't read them; the author will patiently introduce each character, and updates shouldn't be interrupted (the author has explicitly stated they intend to finish the story).

    Old Su Chong highly recommends!!! You absolutely must read the second and third books!!! The first book: The male protagonist leads his underlings to seize territory in a horror world, bringing the underworld's development into the horror realm. The slit-mouthed woman: Am I beautiful? You're not pretty enough, let me help you… The second book's male protagonist starts as a lowly office worker, gradually climbing to the top of life through mysterious information records, witnessing the rise of a big boss… The third book: A combination of a gangster boss and a Northeastern shaman~ Who would have thought that underworld development could connect with the Dingxiang Hall~ I want to be the boss on both the yin and yang sides~ The male protagonist is an orphan, surrounded by brothers from the orphanage, and then slowly develops... The fourth book is a Hong Kong gangster novel~ Speaking of gangsters~ we must mention the major gangs of Hong Kong~

    "My name is Lynn, a hero... No, a former hero." Transmigrating and becoming a hero should have been a good thing. Unfortunately, the world is fickle, and people are treacherous... In the ruins, a dilapidated radio intermittently broadcasts breaking news. "S-Class Hero Lynn convicted of treason... Wanted throughout the Federation!" "Who is it..." The Demon King, who had been leisurely living after his defeat, opened his door. Lynn stood blankly in the rain, head bowed, covered in wounds and blood. He lowered his hand from the door and whispered, "I'm sorry... I don't know where else I can go..."
