I recommend "Nesiril's Glory" to you. The main character is a pure mage, cold-blooded, cautious, dark, and heartless. There is no female protagonist throughout the entire process. There is no pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. There is no explosion at the moment of life and death. There is only steady progress. There are no strong enemies everywhere. The main character is always someone else's strong enemy. He is dedicated to the glory of Nesiril. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
