   [A story of initial angst followed by sweetness + satisfying read + silly humor + loving interactions + strong leads] The protagonist, after being killed at the beginning, transforms into the leader of a demonic sect, relentlessly tormenting his enemies. Although the process is tortuous, the protagonist, who dislikes wasting words, successfully wipes out his entire enemy force. The male lead doesn't appear much in the early stages but silently supports the other protagonist. The other protagonist is gradually "turned gay" by the male lead, slowly realizing his feelings; he's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. The story is still being updated; those interested can check it out. It's a traditional ancient fantasy novel, leaning towards a male-oriented style. The protagonist is a madman in the early stages, and perhaps will remain so later. This is a plot I've had for a long time; it may not be perfect, but I want to create a perfect ending for the characters I'm writing about.

    The story begins with the protagonist guarding a discarded alchemy room, which I found quite enjoyable—a classic, fast-paced cultivation novel. Personally, I only read cultivation novels, but I don't like system novels, and transmigration novels are to my liking. I've also tried writing a novel called "The Record of Gods, Demons, and Blood," which I update daily. I hope you enjoy it.
