   If you're looking for traditional fantasy, then you absolutely must mention this masterpiece in my heart—*Tian Yuan*. The protagonist has no system, but his talent is unparalleled throughout history. He's a bit cunning, but extremely "righteous." The book boasts a vast and complete world-building, and all the characters are very realistic. Moreover, it features only one female lead, no romantic entanglements, and he's not invincible. Highly recommended! Highly recommended! Highly recommended!!! 👍
