    For those of you experiencing a reading slump, I'd like to share a new book I've been consistently updating: *Peeping into the Spirits, Asking the Way to Immortality*. It features a unique cheat system, but completely avoids clichéd tropes like invincible protagonists or reincarnation. The protagonist is just an ordinary boy from a humble background; his cheat system is only used to observe eerie phenomena and see through supernatural flaws, not to directly propel him to higher realms. The story follows a mortal-centric narrative, with the main plot involving travel, solving strange occurrences and dealing with local evils, studying orthodox Taoist techniques, and cautiously exploring the path to immortality. There aren't frequent wars across the three realms; instead, it focuses on the struggles of ordinary people and the complexities of good and evil in everyday life. The supernatural atmosphere is well-developed, the pacing is gradual, and it avoids mindless, formulaic plot twists. It's currently being steadily serialized with consistent updates. If you're tired of the same old over-the-top fantasy novels and are looking for a blend of traditional supernatural elements, take a look.

    The protagonist of this book, "Mortal Cultivation + Sword Cultivation + No Support + Multiple Female Leads," is not as good as Han Li, because Han Li is a legend. The author of this book is a loyal fan of "Battle Through the Heavens," "Mortal Cultivation," "Perfect World," "Covering the Sky," and "Zi Chuan." The author wants to write a completely new cultivation world and cultivation story. 😅😅😅
