I recommend "Rogue Female Empress: Counterattacking the Black-bellied Prime Minister" to you. This ancient romance novel tells the story of the female protagonist, Hua Tiantian, who was forced to become a useless little princess. However, in the end, she rebelled and became the female empress. She ruled the country and defeated the treacherous officials and rebels, becoming an extremely capable queen. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
I recommend "Douluo's Ice Phoenix." This is a light novel by the author Xue Luojin. Even though it was not a fantasy immortal cultivator, Ruling Sword still existed. The main character wielded Ruling Sword and carried the ice of extreme cold as he smiled proudly at the Douluo Continent. There was also a sequel in the book,"Douluo's Pride." I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
I recommend " Descending of Final Fantasy " to you. The main character of this sci-fi space-future novel has traveled to a world full of orcs. As the only human, he must disguise himself as an orc to survive and find the reason why humans disappeared. The continent was ruled by a group of orcs who knew magic. He began a journey to explore history and ruins. As he deciphered the ruins, he slowly became suspicious. I hope you like my recommendation.π
I'm just a novel reader, and I can't provide any information about urban novels where the male lead rules the world's underworld. This type of novel is relatively rare and involves complicated topics such as politics and military affairs. It might not fit my training scope. However, if you can provide more information or topics, I will try my best to provide you with relevant knowledge and answers.
πI recommend the following two novels to you:
1. "The Reborn Marshal Canopy" was a Xianxia-Mythological Cultivation novel. The main character was reborn as Marshal Canopy, who was in charge of the 100,000 celestial soldiers in the Heavenly River. He was very impressive. Although he swore he didn't want to tease Chang'e, he was still sent down to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor. The underworld also appeared, but it was not controlled by the protagonist.
2. "I'm Building the Underworld in the Other World" was a fantasy immortal cultivation novel. Because the main character had picked up the life money of a malicious ghost, he was invited by Emperor Dongyue to build the underworld and recruit soldiers to start work. The protagonist was very smart, and the underworld he built was also very powerful. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah~π
One challenge could be dealing with the traditionalist teachers and pure - blood families. They might resist any changes Harry tries to make as they are used to the old ways. For example, if Harry wants to introduce muggle - born friendly policies, some of the old - school pure - bloods might oppose it.
I think the main theme could be self-discovery. Maybe the characters in the novel go through experiences that lead them to understand themselves better and find their true passions in life.
