   Reader note

   These three books are amazing! They're incredibly enjoyable to read, and none of them are finished yet. In the third book, I haven't seen a female lead or any romance even after reading 325 chapters. The second book also didn't have a female lead until chapter 529, and the first book didn't either until chapter 158. While the third book lacks a powerful background, the ruthless and merciless nature of the protagonist, Lin Hua, is incredibly satisfying to read. He cultivates unorthodox methods, acts despicably, and is a truly vengeful villain. He fights when he can win, and resorts to underhanded tactics when he can't, becoming infamous for his ruthlessness and madness—a demonic monster. The second book boasts a powerful background spanning countless worlds. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, with a sect and patriarch known for protecting his own, including a powerful emperor master. Chu Luo, a seemingly innocent but ultimately ruthless character, overcomes all obstacles, defeating geniuses, slaying emperors, and seemingly invincible, eliminating all enemies in the world. The first book features Shen Mo, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. With a powerful background, he is a figure even the Emperor fears. Decisive and ruthless, he punishes anyone who crosses him, and makes those who cause him suffering terribly. He abandons all personal decency, indulging in a life of madness. Shen Mo's motto is: "If someone insults me, I'll curse their entire family; if someone lays a finger on me, I'll scatter their ashes." His main focus is on mental and physical well-being. "I harbor a lot of resentment, don't mess with me."
