    Don't be fooled by the low rating. This fantasy novel has a vast world-building. It has no female lead, a system, and an invincible cultivation world. It's not a saintly story. The male lead isn't a pushover, nor is he the kind of person who's manipulated or controlled by the system. He starts by running a small inn and gradually builds it into a large-scale operation. The male lead isn't a saint who helps everyone. Some people can't accept this condition and give it a low rating. I think the male lead's reluctance to help others fits his character and his image as a powerful boss in the cultivation era. However, the author will drive the plot to help the supporting characters. This book focuses more on supporting characters and isn't just mindless bravado. Although the male lead is quite powerful, he's not the kind who just uses cheat codes. The content is very novel. I'm currently following the updates. This is a hidden gem!

    Tomato's works are full of urban fantasy and suspenseful plots, which seem to have fantasy tags, so I'll recommend some with grand world-building. The first book is a collection of strange tales about rules in the early and later stages, but it starts to dissect the world-building in an infinitely complex way in the middle and later stages. It's a mind-bending read.

    A grand world-building story set in the Eastern fantasy era, set in the primordial world. An incredibly satisfying and exhilarating read. If you don't like it, I'll personally revise it—that's how capricious I am.
