Data-Driven Daoist Novel

Data-Driven Daoist, by CatVI, tells the story of Yu Han, formerly computer scientist Johan. After demons destroy his family, Yu Han survives using his intelligence and gains access to the Dao, the system cultivators employ to challenge fate. Despite this, betrayal leaves him destitute, with only a basic manual. His only recourse is to join a renowned immortal sect. However, before he can even enter, he insults two influential young masters, seemingly sealing his fate. Yu Han's past as a corporate warfare consultant, skilled in ruthlessly eliminating rivals, proves invaluable. He views his lack of talent as a problem to be solved, feuds with the young masters as bugs to be fixed, and poverty as an optimization challenge. This bloodthirsty fatty will pursue immortality using algorithms in combat and treating cultivation like a hostile takeover, starting with a personal fitness goal. Expect a weak-to-strong, poor-to-rich, and fat-to-fit progression achieved through hard work, planning, and cunning. This Xianxia features a LitRPG system accessible to all cultivators, not a unique cheat for the protagonist. The story is told in third-person POV, focused on the MC, and contains dark elements without being grimdark, with a few challenging chapters early on. No harem.
