The early stages, with the protagonist's elaborate schemes, might seem somewhat uneventful, but as the world expands, the story becomes increasingly exciting.

    A lighthearted and humorous cultivation novel where the protagonist is a genuine "sixth brother" (a term used to describe a man who is genuinely unskilled and enjoyable), and he's serious about being funny.
