    The first book, sisters, perfectly meets your requirements [kissing emoji]. It combines the bizarre and cultivation elements, but the protagonist isn't human anymore [laughing emoji]. Anyone who cultivates isn't human [cool emoji]. He's always going crazy when he's bored, hehe. The second book: The protagonist gets bullied terribly in the early stages [crying emoji]. In summary, it emphasizes survival, likes to plot, very realistic, and very scary [almost crying emoji].
