   "Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight" belongs to the traditional fantasy novel genre. It abandons the system element and doesn't rely on wildly imaginative plots to succeed; instead, it constructs a classic magical world with a conflict between light and darkness and a complex power structure. The protagonist starts as an ordinary blacksmith's son and, within a traditional cultivation system, grows through his own efforts, courage, and faith in an environment full of intrigue and challenges, showcasing the charm of fantasy through its delicate plot and solid setting.

    This novel, "Legend of the Mysterious," is one of the few good books I stumbled upon this year.
