I'm not sure if it's a widely popular novel. It might be a relatively niche or new release that not everyone has heard of. There could be a dedicated fan base for it among certain readers who are into underworld - themed or character - driven stories.
Since I haven't had the chance to read 'King of the Underworld Adrik', I can only speculate. It could be about Adrik's rise to power in the underworld. Maybe he starts from a low - ranking position and through his cunning, strength, or some special abilities, he climbs the ladder. There could be rival gangs or powerful individuals he has to face, and along the way, there might be themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of power. It might also explore the relationships he has with other characters, both within and outside the underworld.
The Underworld King of Prison was a fantasy novel written by Ye Xingyue. The novel told the story of a young man who transmigrated to another world and became the Hell King. In this world, there were all kinds of demons and ghosts, and the young man needed to use his power of Yama to protect the peace of the human world. The novel's plot was full of ups and downs, and it was full of thrilling scenes. It was deeply loved by readers.

This question is difficult to answer because I don't know what kind of novel you want. If you can provide more information such as the genre, theme, plot, etc., I will try my best to provide you with more helpful answers.
πI recommend a novel to you, it's called 'Those Years as a Corpse Guard at the Mortuary.' The protagonist of the novel received various rewards by burying, collecting, sewing, and completing the last wishes of the dead, including mysterious powers such as the Undying King of Hell Technique. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
πI recommend you to play "Ghost Queen". The female lead, Mo Luan, was the next Underworld King of the Underworld. Because of the chaos in the Underworld, she was backfired and fell into the Otherworld Continent, turning into a seven or eight-year-old girl. She was rescued by Xingmou Guyuan, and he was the legendary good-for-nothing Third Prince. The two slowly got to know each other and fell in love. Is it similar to the plot of the novel you mentioned? I hope you like my recommendation.π
πI recommend the novel Flowers-like Queen of Hades to you. The main character of the story was the Goddess of Supreme Palace, Chu Xia. As the Queen of Hades, she punished villains, the princess of the War Immortal World, snatched the spiritual girl, subdued the divine beast, and grasped the divine weapon. She was decisive and never sloppy. Not only could she control the Underworld, but she could also save the women in need, help the fallen prince, find the missing ancient god of war, seal the strongest Saint Emperor, and reach the peak of life with the energetic Yama. I hope you like my recommendation.π
Complex characters are also a feature. The protagonists in 'the king of the underworld novel' are not simply 'good' or 'bad'. They may have a sense of loyalty to their own group but also engage in illegal and immoral activities. They are often in moral dilemmas. For instance, a gang leader may love his family deeply but still be involved in drug trafficking.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with such a title. It might involve a story about a powerful queen and king in an underworld setting, perhaps filled with power struggles, alliances, and a complex web of relationships.
Violence is often a main feature. These novels usually depict brutal fights, assassinations and other forms of physical harm. For example, in 'The Godfather', there are many scenes of violent retaliation.
