   I wonder if you guys like this kind of thing? The premise is very novel, the general framework is ancient mythology, somewhat like a quick transmigration genre, but the alternate worlds are ancient Chinese mythology, such as the Legend of the White Snake, or Kuafu chasing the sun. The writing is quite good, and it's by the same author as "Ten Days to the End," so the imagination is pretty wild, you know what I mean.

    The first book mainly tells the story of the protagonist's gradual growth from a schoolteacher through devouring demons. It's not as fast-paced as a typical wish-fulfillment novel, and it includes the protagonist's own schemes. The second book is a bit more exciting, with the protagonist learning from the insights of his predecessors and cultivating in the Sword Pavilion. It's a bit of a thrill.
