   I'd like to recommend my own work. The protagonist isn't a saint or forced into a saintly role, there's no romance, it's purely about exhilarating battles, and the villains are powerful and cunning, without any forced stupidity. It avoids clichéd formulaic storytelling; everyone is a normal person.

   They're all in the sword and magic series. 1. The first one is a Panlong fanfiction, but the author wrote a lot of original content in the later parts. It's a very enjoyable read, and both those who haven't read Panlong and those who haven't can check it out. 3. The third one is a dark magic series, similar to the world invasion theme of Knight's Journey, but this one features a dark magician as the protagonist, giving it a slightly darker feel, which is quite good. 4. The new book has a somewhat mixed feel of Panlong and Full-Time Magician in its world-building. It doesn't feel like an invincible story, but the world-building is quite good. However, there are too few chapters; those interested can give it a try.

    I'm recommending one of my own books. It's a new book by a new author, with stable updates, and I've just officially started recommending it. Current performance is average, but it's steadily improving. The novel does have many shortcomings, but I'll gradually correct them based on reader feedback. The world-building heavily references many anime, such as *Overlord*, *Re: Zero -Starting Life in Another World-*, and *That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime*, and also draws some inspiration from *Genshin Impact*. The most important reference is Terraria; the world-building is directly based on the game, with many equipment, items, bosses, and monsters all being Terraria elements. Terraria players will find it relatable. Regarding the character design, I set the protagonist as a highly educated student with strong moral values. I hoped this character would enhance the reader's enjoyment and reading experience, but because I'm a beginner, the early plot development made the protagonist feel like a plot device rather than a living, breathing person. Ugh, I'm so inexperienced! I've been revising the minor details of the first ten or so chapters. The supporting characters are a bit more complex. We're not currently considering a female lead, as that might make the male lead's morally upright character untenable! However, being a Japanese light novel, it will inevitably have a touch of harem elements. But it's definitely not a harem story! In terms of plot, I referenced *Re: Zero -Witch Cult*, establishing the protagonist's faction, the Witch Cult. The main storyline revolves around finding the four witches, uncovering the secrets of the Witch Cult, developing the cult, and ultimately becoming the world's ruler. I hope you enjoy reading it! That's my greatest wish!

    Reader note

    The male protagonist is never proactive, has a clear sense of self, wants to be energy-efficient, and pursues a simple life, but things never go as planned. He's surrounded by a blank-slate female swordsman, a proud princess, a resourceful senior, a slightly morbid younger sister, and various other relationships that bind him to her. It's not a wish-fulfillment story, but it's still quite enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    Verion once again risked extracting the Ancient Dragon Causal Ink. To cover his tracks, he used lamp oil and sulfur powder to stage a theft scene, only to be caught by Sienna again. Seeing his greedy appearance covered in mud, she felt utterly contemptuous of him. This disgust, ironically, became Verion's best camouflage.
