Record of Raising Demons

Historical-style xianxia with a little humor and little snark. Seize territory, raise demons, repair the heavens, and then roam freely. Because cultivators have overexploited resources, the whole world is already on the verge of collapse. Just then, an ordinary otaku-style literary youth transmigrates into the body of a village poor boy with humble origins, great ambitions, strict self-discipline, generous treatment of others, and a wealth of knowledge.

This poor boy, who wanted to become a top scholar, immediately turns into a carefree youngster full of jokes. Fortunately, this fool of a youth is not completely useless. The story begins in a small mountain village... Damn it, after finally passing the imperial examinations, who told me that in ancient times I’d also have to go to the countryside and become a village official?
