   I read *The Rogue's Journey Down the Mountain* a few years ago. The premise was quite interesting: the protagonist is invincible at his level but always likes to challenge those stronger than himself, leading to frequent fights. The plot was quite good, and it's a top-centric story! *The Abandoned Son's Immortal Cultivation* is primarily from the bottom's perspective, but I felt both sides were described quite a bit, so it wasn't particularly focused on the bottom. This one also features very powerful protagonists who travel to interstellar space, which is incredibly satisfying, as even interstellar people can't defeat them, haha. The plot and some of the settings are also very interesting. Neither of these are short novels; I recommend them if you're looking for something to read. Both involve cultivation from the human realm upwards.

    🐎🐎I usually recommend this one. The protagonist is a young prodigy who duels with another prodigy, narrowly loses by a single move, and is utterly devastated—it's so heartbreaking!! He hides in the library for sixty years, reading, and by the time the system arrives, he's already old and gray!! Finally, with the help of the system, he rises step by step to become the strongest sword god, defeating his former rivals. Ahhh, it's so incredibly good, with so many plot twists!!!
