For twenty-five long years, Zhou Li was the ultimate textbook Hero. He grumbled through the grind, waded through toxic swamps, lived as a miserable fifty-year-old virgin, and finally ran his holy sword through the heart of the Calamity Demon Queen. His reward? A glorious retirement? A beautiful princess? Not even close. The moment the threat was neutralized, the hypocritical gods backstabbed him without blinking an eye. But the deities made one fatal calculation. They didn't know about the hidden command left behind by a fallen god: /remake. Now, Zhou Li is back at Day One. His cosmic brainwashing is completely shattered, his memories are fully intact, and his real-world PhD in social engineering is screaming for dynamic retribution. If the gods want a righteous chosen one, they can look elsewhere—because Zhou Li is turning the fantasy world into his personal corporate sweatshop. Armed with a terminally useless demigod goddess, a legion of hyper-intelligent slimes whose feces refine into high explosives, and a tribe of gullible goblins he aggressively gaslit into running a premium "Goblin Farmstay Resort," the ultimate anti-hero is about to show the mortal realm what sustainable, long-term exploitation truly looks like.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 5–9 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
