any decent novel which include hardship on the story ?? not about some random person that suddenly become overpowered just by doing a little thing (Moreover by do nothing). Well, to put it simply, I want a novel which include some 'reality' on it. thanks before. as for the tag. fantasy =/= daydream shounen =/= virgin
Terror Infinity(people die here, even the MC, and many of the characters you meet here have there asses stuck in reality so much, that they end up dying) first 30-50 chapters of Close Combat Mage(then turns to pedo rape/harem trash)
To be fair, some novels time skip a lot so "little thing" can actually be 1 chapter of 10 million years researching... Anyways. My top 5 is World of Cultivation Ze Tian Ji (recent chapters have been swell [no one uses swell anymore...]) True Martial World (still chaotically slow to me... but that's cause I'm not a leecher who has to wait upon the whim of an author instead of cheating by MTL) To Be A Virtuous Wife (hardships... for her enemies~~~ No cultivation) Yea, there's only 4. Saving a spot for something good. Conquest was fine, but I found it oddly short. It gave off the feel of a good Western novel through its pacing, but the problem with that is that I need to read by Book, not by Chapter. Sovereign of the Three Realms, The Empyrean Overlord, Zhanxian. All those are rather OP... I do like Zhanxian though. I like it a lot...

Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Having the majority of your food try to poison you back also happens to ruin any culinary taste they had.
Ah, so far the majority of novel that I read id japanesse and nowdays almost all of them already discard the hardship thing. as for the 'little thing' i mentioned is something like just being reincarnated, just being transferred to another world, just being remembered his past memory, and so on, the MC suddenly become so strong. as for korean novel, I only ever try LMS and Dragon Maken War, so I'm still on the stage of name assimilation from japanesse to korean before I could freely roam around korean novels,, and eventually go for the chinesse.
