Surprisingly Enough(NOT), Common Sense Is Overpowered in Cliché Cultivation World

Ning wakes reborn in a cultivation world—only to realize its laws revolve around a handful of "protagonists" bound by tired tropes: humiliated young masters, sudden power-ups, and endless revenge arcs. Worse, he isn’t one of them. He’s an extra, a background character in someone else’s story. But that’s his advantage. Unshackled from the script, Ning leverages logic, strategy, and sheer common sense to exploit the world’s absurd rules. While so-called heroes chase clichéd glory, he forges his own path to immortality, dodging plot armor and outmaneuvering fate itself. In a realm drunk on drama, Ning’s greatest weapon is the truth: tropes are traps, and the real power lies in refusing to play the game.
