Lin En was a good-for-nothing mage branded a “mana-depleted” failure. In the strictly hierarchical, survival-of-the-fittest world of Airedale, even the lowest-tier spells were beyond his reach. Like a speck of dust, he struggled beneath the shadow of the mage tower, enduring endless contempt and bullying. Simply staying alive was a luxury.
During a deadly mission, his bloodied fingertips touched a cold fragment: the Primordial Analysis Core. From that moment on, fate split open to reveal a glimmer of light.
It couldn’t grant him world-destroying power, but it gave him eyes that could see through to the essence of all things. Spell models were no longer black boxes to him, but precise structures he could take apart and optimize. Potion recipes were no longer expensive secrets, but equations he could streamline and find cheaper substitutes for. Ancient rune traps were no longer deadly threats, but logic puzzles waiting to be solved.
While others cast fireballs, he took them apart and rebuilt them, firing scorching lances that pierced shields. While others spent their entire fortunes buying potions, he used scraps to make more potent versions and quietly made a fortune on the black market. Surrounded by powerful enemies, he wove the lowest-tier spells into deadly storms of mana, using “knowledge” to tear their overwhelming advantages to shreds!

It's a bad ending. I haven't watched the rest of it. There's no sense of excitement in the early and middle stages. The main character is suffering on the run. The main character fights several times with both arms and legs scrapped and a mental breakdown of more than 90%. He jumps repeatedly on the edge of death. During the period, the state recovery is not as good as drinking water with the above state. I haven't seen the slap in the face so far. I can't stand it anymore after entering that forest. The main character is about to die and the tree man forces the main character to give it [Gold Finger] and then grants the main character death.
How do you feel about Tao's weird and fairy style?
