    The protagonist is highly intelligent, aloof, and not at all saintly. Numerous foreshadowing elements create suspense and a mind-bending plot, immediately drawing the reader in. Most importantly, the complete storyline hidden throughout different stages makes you want the author to update immediately; the further you read, the more amazed you'll be by the story's unfolding. After reading this book, it's hard to find another book of the same type that evokes the same intense desire in me. It involves various theories, prompting readers to reflect on human nature from multiple perspectives. The author expresses these theories through the protagonist's thoughts, truly immersing the reader in the story. Every clue is compelling, and as you read further and understand the story more fully, I can only say it's incredibly engaging. Among the many complex online novels, this truly feels like a grand journey to the "end of the world." I hope the author's team can produce more high-quality works like this in the future, and that things will only get better!!!
