danmei with a fantastic plot full of depth, plenty of plot twists, fleshed-out side and main characters, humor, and lots of emotional impact. Is xianxia and covers both sides of a war, and also has lots of dark themes (rape, forced prostitution, etc.). Is a very heavy read and has a great journey to discover the truth+the past. ... more>>

Dungeon world with rankers and powers full of world-building.
