    The first book is a traditional fantasy novel with a literary flair. The characters have rich emotions, and while I haven't read too much, the first 200 chapters are decent. However, the world seems far too hostile towards the protagonist. The second book is a fantasy novel that uses imagination to combine technology and cultivation, featuring a nuclear-powered golden core – it's quite impressive. The third book is one I just finished reading. It's very traditional yet not cliché, without many mindless villains, and the major sect the protagonist joins has a strong sense of community. The downside is the slow pacing, with a major cultivation level around 200 chapters (which is considered traditional, I guess 🍉).
