   No female lead, no romance. It focuses on the era, the common people, and historical destiny, completely avoiding petty love stories. The writing is excellent, the logic is rigorous, and both books boast a very grand world-building. There's no time travel, no mindless wish fulfillment, no idiocy, no cheat codes, and no system. The first book, currently being serialized, unfolds from the perspective of an ordinary person, gradually revealing an increasingly expansive world-building as the plot progresses and social classes rise. It has already laid out the geopolitical landscape of East Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia, entering a state of clash of civilizations and war between old and new orders. A multipolar power structure has emerged, with various forces vying for dominance within this geopolitical framework. The second book spans oceans and Eurasia, exploring civilizations, the clash of systems, and their transformations. The intrigue, strategy, tactics, and the thrilling, bloody battles are all vividly portrayed. I highly recommend the first book. For those who enjoy war stories, I suggest starting with the third volume to get into the real action. What's most remarkable about these two books is how they seamlessly integrate war, economics, politics, and resources; it's not just mindless fighting.

    No female lead, no romantic entanglements. This is a traditional novel without a system, and even the common clichés and mindless plots found in ordinary books are completely absent. It's a rebirth story with high intelligence, excellent writing, and a plot completely different from those formulaic novels. The protagonist's intelligence is consistently high, his thinking is clear, and his logic is coherent. It's a true male-oriented novel; you have to use your brain to read it. The protagonist is self-serving! He truly utilizes future events to plan from the beginning, unlike other mindless novels where the rebirth leads to various troubles. This book completely avoids such brainless plots. The protagonist's intelligence is also exceptional. Although he plans his future path from the beginning based on his past life's memories, his actions are skillful and sophisticated, always demonstrating caution and high wisdom. In addition, there are no mindless plots; the logic is rigorous. The protagonist is an extremely self-interested person. This is not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good novel, look elsewhere! If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. Be mindful while reading and don't skip ahead; every word or sentence might be a key element related to later plot developments. Also, the author's hidden clues will be explained later, perhaps in one, two, or even many chapters. From what I've read so far, there are practically no major problems, so you can read it with confidence. One more thing: don't read this without thinking, because some of the exciting moments are on the surface, while others are not. If you don't understand them, don't waste your time.

    All 13 books feature protagonists with no female leads or romantic subplots. They all have free-spirited personalities, which is my personal preference. Enter at your own risk. Book 1 is a leveling-up story with few role-playing elements. Book 3 is an invincible story where the protagonist starts invincible. Book 2 has a female supporting character, but there's no romance; she's more like a subordinate. At most, the protagonist has contact with a non-female being in the first dungeon, which I'm not sure if it counts as romance, but it ends after the dungeon. Books 4 and 5 are both infinite flow stories; the protagonists' values ​​might be questionable, with some disregard for life, but they're both lone wolves and there won't be any romantic subplots or female supporting characters.

    Amazing! So good! This book unfolds with a live-streamed exorcism, no female lead, no romantic subplots, and no inexplicable face-slapping moments. The protagonist's grandfather is a charlatan, but the things he teaches the protagonist are inexplicably as useful as those of a metaphysical master. Furthermore, it touches on the Yin-Yang Eight Gates: corpse driving, paper sculpting, corpse retrieval, Yin-Yang theory, embalming, coffin making… The first volume focuses on the protagonist's growth, with a touch of warmth, about forty chapters. The later volumes unfold with supernatural stories and taking on apprentices. Amazing! So good! Go for it, brothers!
