Cheats are the ultimate power-up in webnovels, granting protagonists an unfair edge that defies the natural order of their universe. Whether it is an ancient soul dwelling within a ring, a mysterious shop that sells divine artifacts, or a unique ability to duplicate any item, these overpowered abilities allow heroes to bypass years of tedious cultivation or training. Readers flock to these stories for the sheer thrill of fast-paced progression and the legendary satisfaction of 'face-slapping' arrogant antagonists who underestimate the main character. Common tropes include hidden bloodlines, infinite mana, and time-looping capabilities that turn a hopeless struggle into a one-sided slaughter. If you crave wish-fulfillment and watching a character rise from zero to an unstoppable god-tier force through ingenious exploitation of their secret gifts, this is the perfect category for you.
