The Male Lead Works Alone, Remember, Alone. Don't Recommend Anything Else!!!
Do you know what “going solo” means? No heroine, no romance, no male-male romance, and preferably nothing too suggestive either. I want a male protagonist. No other requirements, anything goes.

I'm a Veteran Reader, and My Reading List Is Running Dry
I don't want stories with cringeworthy plots. I like urban stories, transmigration, System, quick transmigration, male protagonists, villains, behind-the-scenes masterminds, lords, showbiz, rebirth, urban fantasy, history, games and anime, protagonists transmigrating into animals and getting livestreamed, and livestreaming.

The main character is a secular master, but it's better than the original. Apart from being monitored, there aren't any major flaws. The setting is also good, and the progression of the pillar system is also very interesting. I hope it continues with the lone wolf.
Former readers of this novel, this type of story is rare and well-written; I hope it won't be abandoned.
I really, really love this story! I'm so looking forward to the rest of the story. Will the protagonist become the Lord of the World? He seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Please, please write it carefully and don't mess up the power system. I've been listening to the audiobook for so long, and this novel is totally my cup of tea. I love reading it!
I finished reading it after following the updates, and it was quite good. It didn't have the sarcastic tone of typical text-based games, which was acceptable. This is the first text-based game I've encountered that involves collecting divine authority. Perhaps because I didn't read many chapters of previous text-based games and didn't delve deeper, this one felt quite novel.
Not bad, a rare find among Tomato's works of the "commoner" genre, and quite well written.
A well-developed, relatively large-scale setting with a reasonable plot, hmm... 99% Is a rare find.
So far, it's been pretty good, quite reminiscent of the folklore genre. The rating is currently low, but if the quality remains consistent, it could easily reach 8.8 Or higher. It's considered a good novel on Tomato Books; there aren't many folklore novels to begin with, so it's worth reading.
It's good; it's a bit like "I Saved the World Through a Post-Apocalyptic Word Game".
I don't know what to say. I follow the updates every day, and now that it's at 7.8, I'm worried it's going to flop, so I'm leaving a review. Dude, just stick to your outline. Don't make random changes based on reader feedback and end up with a mess. Keep it up! Right now, yours is the only book I'm following every day.
Overall, it's watchable, but there are many frustrating moments, especially with the Wang family and the higher-ups not caring. If I felt this frustrated, I wouldn't care about the key missions or inheritance; I'd just ignore them.
