   The male protagonist in this book is quite ruthless after he leaves home. He's very resourceful and capable. He doesn't fight directly, mostly relying on his underlings, which gives him a cool and sophisticated air. However, the protagonist himself is also very powerful, only intervening when his underlings are outmatched.

   It's ruthless, but not purely ruthless; too much ruthlessness would make some plot development impossible. However, the later parts might be extremely brutal [smile]. This is based on feedback from most readers; the author likes necromancers. So, the later parts will feature a large cast of characters. But it might not be based on reader requests. Reader-suggested elements, characters, and other things will be added later. If you have anything to suggest, please leave a comment in the book review section. The author reads them daily. You can also see it in the chapter reviews. Because the original manuscript isn't very long, adding plot elements is easy. When adding characters, you can write the reader's username to express your gratitude. This is written by the author, not AI, and can be revised based on reader feedback. If you're interested, you can leave a book review. More readers will lead to more frequent updates. The author initially chose a single female lead; the later parts will depend on reader feedback.

    I've used over 21 different novel reading apps across the internet, with a total reading time exceeding 100,000 hours. You can read the books I recommend with confidence. If you don't enjoy them, feel unhappy, feel uncomfortable, or find them unpleasant, I'll kill myself and eat shit. The only downside is that they're all constantly being updated.

    Bao is ruthless, has no superpowers, is just an ordinary person, and has a purely hateful couple. The seme is also an antisocial personality. The author's writing style is exceptionally good, but those with strong morals or those who are extremely controlled should choose to watch with caution!!! Please be very careful when choosing to watch! Or, like me, if you tend to immerse yourself in the story, you should also be cautious, as being too emotional might easily shatter your moral compass (it's probably).
