    This is a cultivation novel where the protagonist levels up by slaying monsters. It features no system, no harem, no invincible characters, no mindless plots, no exaggeration, no harem elements, and no saintly figures. The protagonist is intelligent, decisive, and the story is well-written. It's a lighthearted and humorous rebirth-themed cultivation novel, a long one. The protagonist is tricked into cultivating, and he cultivates while making sarcastic remarks. He cultivates both his physical and magical abilities, gradually increasing his cultivation level. He pretends to be weak while actually being strong. It's a relatively long novel, lighthearted and funny with exciting moments. The plot is tight and not boring, and the pace isn't too fast.
