    执孽:肝出个天地重澈!
    作者:坑谷

    Du En transmigrated into a world of immortal cultivation, only to end up as a low-level disciple in the remote border city of the Falling Feather Sect.

    The immortal sects warred for dominance, the weak preyed upon each other, resentment festered, and demonic cultivators thrived... In this ruthless cultivation world, danger lurked everywhere, and the weak could perish at any moment!

    Fortunately, Du En had one advantage—a Proficiency Panel. As long as he put in the effort, he could master any skill through repetition, turning hard work into inevitable success.

    Well then... time to grind.

    The main character is a neutral but ruthless man. the robot is as neutral as possible. It may be interesting in the beginning, but after 100 chapters you'll get bored. I dropped out on 170+ chapters. The most annoying part is that all his opponents are dumb. you could even say everyone except mc is dumb. Everyone underestimates him. Everyone is too arrogant. No one gives a fuck that their subordinates are disappearing one by one

    詭異降臨:我有一座血肉莊園 Eerie Descent: I Own a Flesh-and-Blood Manor 作者:愁到爆
    I have a manor. The fertile land can be used to grow ghosts, and the luxurious small villa can be used to raise ghosts.
    Their requirements are not high, they just like to eat my kind.
    Around the world, the advent of the strange has become known to everyone.
    When Qin Fengteng was reborn and returned, he, who had been sacrificed by the whole world in the previous second, decided to make good use of his [Flesh and Blood Manor] this time.





    MC’s a brutal, blood-soaked monster, a true psychopath with no shred of mercy. His Flesh and Blood Mansion lets him grow stronger by devouring the dead, and he’ll butcher anyone in his path.

    either I'm dumb or the author is dumb. because I don't understand why the situation happens differently in each chapter.. that is, in one chapter, he killed a girl right away. But in the next chapter, he says he tortured her. What the fuck?

    Void Lighthouse
    https://m.boquge.com/wapbook/180668.html
    虚空灯塔
    Bai Xiao signed a contract with the Lighthouse and became a cold-blooded observer who traveled through various worlds.
    As a result, the legend of the "Grey God" spread among the contractors.
    "Fuck, I saw with my own eyes that this guy's health bar grew beyond the screen! And he has two tubes with anti-injury!"
    "One person is suppressing two world bosses, is he a human?"
    "Am I seeing right? Fifty-nine kinds of debuff auras? My values have been reduced to negative numbers!"
    "Blood Rose is a large adventure group, how many goddesses, were killed by this guy alone. Ruthless, ruthless!"
    "Shh, keep your voice down, he's coming"
    the natives of the world are roaring, and the madman of the lighthouse is laughing wildly.
    This is a monster that relies on dozens of debuff auras to sweep the legion and fight ten thousand alone .

    Marvel: I'll trade Uncle Ben for the Punishing Spider to appear!
    漫威:我拿本叔换惩戒蜘蛛登场!

    https://api.langge.cf/online_detail?book_id=7357333604537486361&source=番茄&tab=小说
    Summary:
    [Dark Spider-Man] + [Decisive and Ruthless] + [Obsessed with Physical Enhancement] + [Endless Evolution] + [No Female Lead]

    After traversing countless worlds, Luo Mang acquires NTZ-48.
    He permanently unlocks NTZ-48, thinking he has finally reached the pinnacle of his life—only to be unexpectedly thrown into the Marvel Universe.

    This time, Luo Mang will do whatever it takes to survive!

    He orchestrates Uncle Ben’s death to push Spider-Man into abandoning his no-kill rule.
    He seizes and fuses countless mutant modifications into his own body:

    • Lizard serum...
    • Luke Cage’s indestructibility...
    • Abomination’s strength...
    • Deadpool’s regenerative healing...
    • Symbiote powers...
    • Green Goblin’s formula...
    Life is short—ascend through blood and flesh!

    Peter Parker: "After Uncle Ben’s death, Luo became the one I must follow for the rest of my life."
    Ancient One: "Luo Mang is evil—but he is also magnificent."
    Nick Fury: "Raise Luo Mang’s threat level to the highest!"
    Tony Stark: "Luo saved me, but… I think it’s time to upgrade my entire suit arsenal."
    Deadpool: "Hey, looks like it’s another fries-at-the-dock day with Luo!"
    Captain America: "I’ll never accept someone like Luo Mang… but I can’t deny he’s done a lot for humanity."
    Thanos: "I acknowledge you. Your vision is as grand as mine."

    Review:
    I dropped this novel after a while, so tbh i can't say how good or bad it is. I dropped mainly cuz it started feeling boring to me. It has behind the scene villain style plotline afaik. There is a good chance that it turned pseudo evil or proper evil later on. Even if not, its neutral for sure. But again since i dropped quite early, i can't really give a proper review.

    It's your choice if you wanna try this or not.
    Chp count: 631
    Status: Completed Novel.
    Source: Fanqienovel

    P.S: In case any of you guys try this then do leave a review, no matter positive or negative. If you guys think that this novel become better after a certain chp then also let me know when. So i can pick this one again.

    Desolation of the Caged Bird by Neckbeard_Satan
    https://archiveofourown.org/works/41499534
    In one world, Hyuga Neji would die to protect the Main House, proving ultimately that fate was immutable. His destiny, from birth, was always set in stone.
    In another, the Zodiac Formation King, Zi Wuji, cursing at his ill-fated cultivation talent, would meet his demise only to awaken in a world not quite his own.

    Alas, when before an Immortal Cultivator --

    Fate was just a whiny little bitch.

    "Wherever that copper coin passed, all the monks turned into dry bones. People feared him like a demon, but they didn't know that he was once a beggar who didn't even have the qualifications to open a spiritual vein."
    ——Xuanxiao Sect Elder·Suiyu Zhenren
    "Lu Changsheng's copper coin is not a magic weapon, but a door opened by Huangquan. What's inside the door? It is the immortality we seek but cannot obtain, and it is also a trap set by the heavens."
    ——The Lord of Blood Demon Valley, the Heart-eating Old Monster
    "They said that I stole the life span and went against the Will of Heaven, but who has ever seen heaven show mercy to a useless person? This copper coin is the stake for my life bet with heaven."
    ——Lu Changsheng (carving words and leaving traces at the Forgotten River Ferry)
    Lu Changsheng was born with blocked meridians and could not practice cultivation, but he accidentally obtained an evil copper coin that could devour the life span of others. In order to get rid of the backlash of the copper coin, he had to embark on the path of seeking true immortality through evil.

    2nd novel:
    Name: 火影:宿傩人柱力,在下宇智波


    Review:
    This is about the second novel — I dropped it midway, so I can’t give a detailed review. The MC was ruthless and of the "neutral" type. By neutral, I mean he won’t go around hurting innocent people unless necessary. At the same time, he won’t risk his life to save them either. At least, that was my impression.

    The same goes for the first novel I mentioned earlier — I’m currently reading it. The MC is neutral good and ruthless. He can hurt people but won’t go out of his way to save them. Still, you can tell he’s not evil. It’s more about being ruthless while still aligning with neutral good. That means he will save people, but only certain ones. And who are these people? Mainly the Uchiha clan.

    Both novels share one thing in common — you get the POV of a Uchiha clan member who deeply loves his clan and wants to make it the strongest. He’s willing to do anything and everything for that goal and has the ambition to grow strong enough to achieve it.

    So, it's a fight for the top, but with genuine care for his clan. In my opinion, it's not toxic or “poison,” depending on your point of view.

    At least for now, the first novel seems okay.
    I'm currently at Chapter 20 and may update this review later.

    But yes — neither of these novels are evil, just to be clear.

    Refining The Human Elixir: Starting From Neighbors 炼人丹:从邻居开始
    Traveling through time and space to become the son to be sacrificed? Shen Mo sneered. In his previous life, he was the most poisonous snake in the gutter.
    This world is the dining table of "Ten Thousand Bones Tripod" - killing people for money, taking lives to extend lives, tricking others into tying invitations to live a few more days. The kind-hearted old neighbor lady has saved 3 million in charity? Just the right stepping stone for him.
    He wove a trap with hypocrisy and used the bait of "charity" to coax her into signing the death contract with her own hands.
    In the welfare home copy, he is a guide and also a undertaker.
    The blood crystals jingled, and the account instantly surged by three million. Kindness? It was the most delicious seasoning when he bit his prey.
    And where are his parents, who tried to exchange his son's life for his wife's rebirth, hiding in hell? Don't worry, Shen Mo sharpened the boning knife and will go to help them soon... The whole family will be reunited.

    Evil but boring.

    Can you share some info? Like what is MC's personality and character like.

    Is he selfish, is he rational, maybe even evil or pseudo dark? Or is he neutral, like he doesn't help people, maybe only once or twice in the whole novel, or only if it actually benefits him, not just an excuse for benefit but a character who pursues profit only, like a pragmatic person.

    Is there any romance or female lead? Is MC lusty?

    Thx
