    I recommend "I Can't Be a Sword Immortal" by Pei Bu Liao. The novel tells the story of a protagonist with a leveling-up template similar to the Legend of Sword and Fairy, steadily leveling up in a newbie village in another world. The protagonist is low-key and has low emotional intelligence, focusing solely on improving his strength and earning money to support his family. There aren't many scenes of showing off or getting revenge; instead, his "straight man" attributes create a lot of comedic effect. The writing style is light and relaxing, full of amusingly naive characters and game-like leveling elements, drawing readers in effortlessly.
