From the Start: Breaking Out of Prison, I’m No God of Drama

"Supernatural" + "Mystery" + "Coming of Age" + "Theater-God vibes in The Final Maze City" + "A little angst, but all quality"

Protagonist: My name is Zhao Yiwen. Or maybe it isn't. But “I” keep telling “me” that I'm Zhao Yiwen, so who am I, really?

When I thought I could survive by making it out, I discovered that I was actually an aberration.

Now, as an aberration, how am I supposed to survive in this world?

Who are you, draped in a black-and-red robe? Why have you come to help me?

And where is this place? They say it's been ten years, so why is this the only city left?
