   This is a rare example of a villainous novel by Tomato that doesn't rely on selling female bodies, having a harem, or lewd jokes; it's purely about revenge against society.

   I recommend this book. It might be new, so the rating isn't high, but it's really good. The protagonist is a transmigrator with high intelligence; there's no mindless bravado. He faces numerous crises, which he cleverly resolves. He's decisive and ruthless, never swayed by women. The anticipation is incredibly high. It has the steadiness of Han Li from *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* and the ruthlessness of Wang Lin from *Against the Gods*. Against the demonic path, he's righteous to the point of being wicked; against the righteous path, he's more demonic than the demons themselves. Trust me, it's truly excellent. It updates consistently with five chapters daily.

    The story begins with the protagonist at the highest level, immortal and indestructible, having wiped out all those at higher levels. A grand scheme is then devised to explore whether this highest level can become even stronger, with no mercy shown to anyone who stands in the way—good or bad. There's no female lead, the power levels are consistent, and the power hierarchy is very strong; there's almost no concept of killing enemies beyond one's level. Each level is absolute, and those slightly higher can easily defeat those of the previous level. The downsides are the fast pace, with many events glossed over, lacking detail, and many plot holes left unresolved (perhaps the author felt it was enough to just mention the events briefly, the details weren't important). The ending is also rather rushed and somewhat ordinary, but still acceptable (the author didn't want to write anymore, saying it wasn't profitable). The low rating is likely due to concerns about potential censorship.
