    Reader note

    I recommend everyone to read a truly intelligent and engaging villainous novel that won't irritate the reader: "We Villains Won't Be Stepping Stones." The protagonist is intelligent and prioritizes self-interest. He not only kills his opponents but also extracts all their value before killing them, and even labels them as demons before finally eliminating them. Meanwhile, I, Lin Xiao, am the beacon of humanity's righteous path, a noble and honorable young master, yet secretly, I am the greatest demon. As for supporting roles, even if a supporting role has already been played, if it's not valuable, you can just throw it away. But if it's valuable, keep it around and nurture it. Although it's a system novel, the protagonist's intelligence in the later parts makes readers forget that the protagonist even has a system.
