Yes, I recommend Primeval Chaotic Heavenly Lord and Eternal Emperor of God, these two fantasy novels. The main character of "Primeval Chaos Heavenly Lord" refused to accept the restraints of the Great Dao and transcended the Great Dao to establish his own world, while the main character of "Myriad Ancient God Emperor" also transcended the Great Dao through divine power cultivation and achieved supreme divine power. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
The Infinite Stratos manga doesn't always go past the anime. It could be on par or have a different focus. Usually, it's up to how the story is envisioned for each medium.
It depends. Sometimes the manga can delve deeper into details and offer additional plot points that weren't shown in the anime. However, the core storylines often remain similar.
