   There are two books in total. The low rating is because not many people have read them. In fact, the writing style surpasses most of Tomato's authors. The first book is shorter, and the protagonist hasn't reached Foundation Establishment yet. It's a family cultivation novel similar to Xuanjian, with the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao. Personally, I think it's the most similar to Xuanjian that I've seen on Tomato. The second author's writing is excellent, with a high level of cultivation and very strict realm suppression. Let alone crossing a major realm, even crossing a minor realm is considered genius. The protagonist can't even cross two minor realms (he can't reach Perfection in the mid-Foundation stage). It has the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao, but the protagonist cultivates the Qi Cultivation Dao.

    Reader note

    "Family System: I, the Villainous Clan Head, Develop Steadily"—just from the title, you know the protagonist isn't a good guy, but that's precisely what makes it so addictive! Author Si Yue Qing Zhi, this ongoing series of over two million words tells the story of Li Xingge, a transmigrated male protagonist. This guy was originally the direct descendant of the powerful "Qingfeng Li Clan" in the cultivation world, but the patriarch suddenly died, leaving the clan surrounded by enemies and in a state of panic. At seventeen, he was thrust into the position of clan head. While others at seventeen are still relying on their parents, our protagonist is already carrying the entire clan through the dark forest of the cultivation world, playing a survival game. Fortunately, he activated the [Longevity Family System]—the stronger the clan, the stronger he becomes—a typical "family-themed" story with added advantages. But what truly cemented this book's legendary status is its dark tone; the author explicitly states in the synopsis: "Dark writing style, not for the overly sentimental." The protagonist doesn't subscribe to any righteous path or chivalry, but rather to a "human path within the righteous, but with a heart turned towards evil" mentality. He prioritizes his family's interests above all else, acting ruthlessly and without restraint. A recurring theme in the book is: "Go against him, and he'll wipe out your entire family, leaving no one alive!" "Even an earthworm will be turned upside down and split open! Eggs will be shaken until the yolk is broken!" The book emphasizes eliminating any potential threats. The opening chapters are hardcore action: Chapter 4, the death of Wang Wu; Chapter 5, the slaying of Su Yun; Chapter 6, eliminating all traces; Chapter 16, the complete annihilation of the Mangshan Su clan, followed by a "human pig" chapter—the ruthlessness is evident. Think that's all? No, the protagonist also emphasizes, "Even a lion fighting a rabbit will go all out." Offended the chosen one? Then let the chosen one experience the oppressive feeling of the Soul Emperor's attack right from the start, giving the opponent no chance to turn the tables. The system gameplay is also very engaging: Low clan talent? I have a talent to reshape buffs; slow cultivation? The book boasts a speed-boosting system; the original quote is, "Even a dog can cultivate to immortality." Small family size? The "many children, many blessings" buff applies—even eight babies in one birth is not a dream. Watching the Li family rise from a small clan in Qingfeng Valley in the northeast corner of Baihe County, crushing the Zhang, Su, Song, and Yan families... Flattening the Black-Clad Village, incorporating various forces, fighting their way from the county to the prefecture and then to the upper realm, finally ascending to the top as the "Lord of the Li Clan Immortal Clan," the sense of accomplishment from the family's rise is simply overwhelming. The entire book is tagged "Everyone is intelligent," meaning there are no stupid villains, no protagonists with indiscriminate invincibility, and every battle is a genuine, calculated struggle. The protagonist's victories are convincing. If you're tired of hypocritical cultivation novels where the saintly protagonist forgives the enemy while getting beaten up, if you just want to see a cold-blooded family head lead his entire family to carve a bloody path in the dark cultivation world, then this book is tailor-made for you. Conversely, if you prefer gentle and healing stories and feel physically uncomfortable seeing words like "extermination of an entire family" or "human pigs," then quickly scroll past this book; it's definitely not for you. In short: this is a dark, fast-paced family cultivation novel where "rooting out the weeds" is ingrained in its DNA. After reading the first chapter, you'll understand what "steady development, ferocious output" truly means.
