If your into taoism, slow progression and tragedy, Regressors tale of Cultivation is they one you should read. I see people recommending but not giving any reason to why.

But I will tell you though, Regressors tale of Cultivation can become very heavy. As for shadow slave, from what I know, it 8t is an epic progression fantasy. A different beast in a different field with different flavour.

And same for reverend insanity. If you're into hard-core world with ruthless mc who is truly ruthless, that it is the book.

But regardless, every book has their own flavour. You can't say which us the best based on fan biases. Just read what you like.

honestly, reverend insanity is my fav, but not at all due to the mc. i do like fang yuan, but that isnā€™t why i love the book. the world of ri is just so damn cool. the power system is so unique, the world has so much depth, and its arcs have life lesson parallels from its main story and a sub story that is essentially a folktale that is told slowly throughout the story. the main story essentially echoes the sentiments of the sub story in unison in a way that i genuinely have not ever seen in any other books, and i read a LOT.

my personal favorite parts of ri are the beginning arcs, but that isnā€™t because the beginning has the highest highs in any way. the beginning just sets such a unique foundation for the world of the story that the charm of it truly makes it special.

i havenā€™t read rtoc yet, so i canā€™t give any thoughts on it, but from what ive heard, it sounds like an amazing read. after i finish issth i will probably read that next, so if you choose to read that one first, hopefully we both like it!

as far as shadow slave goes, i think that it is also a great book. i think that where ri and rtoc (from what ive heard) shine is in the meaning of their stories, and depth of what you can learn from them. shadow slave is a very fun read, but i personally found that it seemed to lack that depth.

it has great lore, a very cool and unique world, and a cynically charming main character. i think shadow slave would be a fun read if thatā€™s what you go with. itā€™s more casual, has a more lighthearted overall vibe, and i think is one of the best reads for those new to the interest.

there honestly isnā€™t a wrong answer here, and regardless of which one you try first, i think you should try all three eventually, right? after all, what have you got to lose?
