   I'm recommending "Back to 2008: Something's Wrong with This World!" I know all the tropes of rebirth novels by heart: a strong start, slapping people in the face, and a bunch of people surrounding you. But this one doesn't follow that formula. It focuses on other things: detailed descriptions of daily life, vivid character portrayals, and satisfying, straightforward moments. That feeling of unease comes quietly, like someone has been standing behind you for a long time. Chapter 193 is now available, two chapters a day!

   Reader note

   Family, does anyone understand this?! Finally found a fantasy novel that doesn't treat transmigrators like fathers! Other books: The protagonist transmigrates to another world, awakens a cheat ability, and never underestimates a young man's potential. This book: The natives of another world hold a grand meeting and perform a "soul-summoning ceremony"—sounds like an awakening, right? Actually, it's just mass-summoning transmigrators to possess people! All the young people in the tribe become containers for wandering spirits, while the original owners are completely annihilated. Our protagonist, Zhao Riqiancun, is reborn. In his previous life, he was hunted by transmigrators for three hundred years; in this life, he returns to the eve of the soul-summoning ceremony. He watches helplessly as his tribesmen are possessed one by one, not only without panic, but even somewhat amused—because this is the moment he's been waiting for, the hunt. The most amazing thing is his "seven-star full-aptitude" genius brother, who is also possessed by a transmigrator after the ceremony. The two brothers, one a reborn demon, the other a wandering spirit, put on an acting show face to face, calling each other "brother" and "older brother," but actually wanting to smash each other's brains out. This plastic brotherhood is hilarious! Traditional fantasy: A seemingly useless but ultimately weak protagonist endures hardship, undergoes aptitude tests, and gets humiliated at the academy. This book: The protagonist has only one-star aptitude, but doesn't care about cultivation at all. In his past life, he was a powerful figure in the demonic path; in this life, he relies on three hundred years of killing experience to fight everyone head-on. Encountering an insider at the blacksmith shop? He silences them with a single sword strike. Someone surrounds the academy? He clears them out. Pretending to be his brother to deceive the Zuo family patriarch? His schemes are masterful! No system! No old grandfather! No "thirty years east of the river" (a metaphor for unpredictable fortune)! The protagonist's motto is: Kill. He treats all the transmigrators in town like lambs to the slaughter; anyone who blocks his way home dies.
