Looking for Novels Focused on Storytelling, Not Fighting Monsters and Leveling Up

I'd like books similar to *Immortal Martial Great Ming: From the Start, I Became a Ghost-Slaying Embroidered Uniform Guard (Nightfall of a Hundred Ghosts).* No Systems, no grinding levels and killing monsters, no characters constantly showing off in a tedious way, and no effortless victories over opponents several levels above them. Also, nothing with an excessive number of cultivation levels.
