    Both books are good; they don't have mindless, pretentious, face-slapping plots, and they have very large world-building. The main characters are loyal and righteous, and they feature a pseudo-ensemble cast.

    Don't be fooled by the title, this book is truly different! The male protagonist doesn't rely on any cheat codes, but on his shrewdness in calculating people's hearts and a pair of swords that can kill anything. If gods and demons want to fight, he will slay them; if the Heavenly Dao wants to lock, he will sever it. It's so satisfying that I stomped my feet!
