   Confucian scholars use their writings to disrupt the law, while chivalrous individuals use their martial arts to break the law. There are three kinds of extremely wicked people in the world (corrupt officials, tyrannical local bullies, and hypocrites), whom the law cannot punish. Fortunately, there are extraordinary individuals, chivalrous heroes, and swordsmen to deal with them. Although martial arts novels are in a slump—my passion remains unchanged!

   [Sincere Book Recommendation] I've written 106,000 words, and I want to recommend it to those who are willing to be patient. The title is "My Body is the First Tribulation in the Mortal World," with the subtitle "After Taking a Flame as My Master, I Became Invincible." This isn't a book where you become invincible right from the start. The protagonist is fifteen years old, has been stepped on in the face, called trash, and had his book shattered with a single blow. A flame called Nine Nether Ice Flame lies dormant within him, waiting fifteen years to awaken. Later in the story, there's brotherhood (Chapter 8), characters taking the fall (Chapter 10), and a slowly unfolding world. If you find the pace slow, feel free to scroll away; I understand. If you'd like to read a few more chapters, please share your honest feelings in the comments section—praise or criticism, whatever you truly think.
