Here’s the basic premise:
Transmigrated into a ruthless Xianxia world as a recently orphaned fatty, an anti-social Computer Scientist must leverage his tech skills to survive despite his trash cultivation talent.
The Blurb (in case you haven’t read the Fiction Page for whatever reason):
They called him trash—until he started treating the Dao like a Dataset.
When demons slaughter his new family, computer scientist Johan—now reborn as Yu Han—survives by pure wit. He awakens his spirit root, gaining access to the mysterious system that all cultivators use to defy the heavens.

The Dao.
But it won’t be enough. Betrayed, stripped of everything but his clothes and a worthless booklet, his only way to live is to join the prestigious immortal sect recruiting new disciples. But before he can even step into the sect, he slaps the faces of two powerful young masters.
Yu Han should have no path forward.
But in his past life, he wasn't just any programmer—he was a corporate warfare consultant who wrote not only code but obituaries, treating business rivals like lines of bad code to be mercilessly eliminated.
Trash talent? He'll code his own. Death feuds with young masters? Mere bugs to debug. No money? Just another optimisation problem. Watch this blood-thirsty fatty sprint toward immortality, bringing algorithms to sword fights and treating cultivation like a hostile takeover!
First though, he needs to lose some weight.
