   Let me recommend some stories where you're not a superhuman after time-traveling, but start by relying on yourself. Of course, writing poetry is an essential skill, and your martial arts are terrible. The key is to start by using poetry to prove yourself, and then improve your martial arts through various methods. What I like most is cultivating alongside a goddess; the story is exciting, and you should definitely give it a try.
