    Previously, fantasy novels truly relied on their fantastical and illusory elements to succeed, which is why they were called fantasy novels. Now, it's all about humor and who can deliver the most memorable comedic moments [facepalm]. It's no exaggeration to say that traditional fantasy has been usurped, which is why many veteran readers say that traditional fantasy has declined. I recommend a traditional fantasy novel that I'm currently reading—the kind of fantasy from the past—but this book has made a breakthrough by incorporating elements of reality, weaving mythology, reality, and fantasy together. The writing style and logic are good, and I think it will be to your liking. I recommend giving it a read!

    Dear all my godparents, please take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly fantastic! It's traditional fantasy, high-octane and thrilling. After reading the second chapter, if you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, please take a look. I, Tianjiao, would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my godparents. Content: As Liu Yu stretched out her hands, the void behind her trembled violently, and a nine-tailed fox phantom, tens of feet tall, suddenly appeared, radiating a terrifying, savage pressure. Then, Liu Yu clasped her hands together, and the nine-tailed fox phantom behind her simultaneously extended its front paws, slamming them together against the incoming death energy spear. Boom! The death energy spear shattered between the fox's claws, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which was easily dispersed by the nine-tailed fox phantom's gentle breath. Xu Feng laughed and clapped, "Impressive, impressive! As expected of a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator... Even more wonderful than I expected." He licked his lips, "Only prey like you is worth tasting." With that, he wiped the smile from his face and turned to the remaining ghost generals, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, the six ghost generals, except for Qian Yuan, transformed into six streaks of black mist and shot straight towards the cultivators except for Liu Yu and her group of nine. The next moment, desperate screams rose and fell as one cultivator after another was grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground by the ghost generals. Their blood and yang energy were rapidly drained from their bodies by the ghosts, their bodies quickly withering away until they became empty-eyed, gaping corpses, carelessly tossed into pools of blood. The remaining surviving cultivators, driven mad by the prospect of death, launched a fierce attack on the ghost generals. In an instant, all sorts of hidden supernatural powers and magical treasures were revealed, and the terrifying energy fluctuations made this already ruined place even worse. The earth was torn open with bottomless ravines, and rubble, severed limbs, and fragments of magical treasures were mixed together and turned into dust in the violent energy turbulence.
