    The clichéd, mindless plots are completely absent in this book. The author hasn't explicitly stated whether there's a female lead, but given the protagonist's personality, the probability is less than one percent. It's a rebirth story featuring high intelligence, excellent writing, and a plot completely different from those formulaic novels. The protagonist's intelligence is consistently high, his thinking is clear, and his logic is coherent. This is a true male-oriented novel; you have to use your brain to read it. The protagonist is self-serving! He truly utilizes future events to plan from the beginning, unlike other mindless novels where the protagonist is reborn and constantly provokes others. This book completely avoids such brainless plots. The protagonist's intelligence is exceptional; although he plans his future path based on his past life's memories, his actions are skillful and sophisticated, always demonstrating caution and high wisdom. Furthermore, there are no mindless plot points; the logic is rigorous. The protagonist is an extremely self-interested individual—this is not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! Not a mindless novel! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good story, look elsewhere! If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. Be mindful while reading and don't skip ahead; every word or sentence might be a key element related to later plot developments. Also, the author's hidden clues will be explained later, perhaps in one, two, or even many chapters. From what I've read so far, there are practically no major problems, so you can read it with confidence. One more thing: don't read this without thinking, because some of the exciting moments are on the surface, while others are not. If you don't understand them, don't waste your time.
