    If you're looking for a hardcore, underdog-to-hero fantasy novel, I recommend "Ask Tao: Frost". It starts with your entire family dying tragically, and you have no cheat codes. You have to figure out all the ways to survive on your own. It's a chaotic world where both officials and bandits are evil, and the worldview is very cruel.

    💥Subverting traditional Xianxia (fantasy/cultivation) concepts, the demonic path is not inherently evil; rather, it is the obsessions of the human heart that are the root of all evil. "Insightful Understanding of Human Nature" + "Profound Strategy" + "Dramatic Plot" Everything can breed demonic nature. The reborn primordial demon enters the game with his inner demons, piercing the hypocritical masks of various cultivators. #DemonicPathMaleProtagonist #CultivationGameScheme #DeepXianxiaNovel
