   Unlike typical urban fantasy novels, this one doesn't follow the usual formula. It incorporates a variety of settings, including dreams within dreams and multiverses. It features intellectual battles, and the chapters about establishing the laboratory introduce superpowers. These superpowers have limitations and require careful design. It's a contest of intelligence, luck, and strategic planning, not a mindless, invincible, or wish-fulfillment story.

    The world-building in the first book really surprised me, with even more plot holes, making it impossible to keep up. The second book had a shorter word count, so I don't know how the world-building would be. It took a turn for the better from the second chapter onwards; the plot was decent, sequential, and clear, but there were still many plot holes. After the second chapter, I was hooked and kept reading. The third book was a real gem, completely buried until I discovered it. I recently read over a hundred chapters and it's pretty good. The fourth book is a spin-off of Dragon Raja, a reimagining of the original classic, but the writing is just average.

    This novel breaks new ground with its imaginative premise of "dream travel + interdimensional trading," telling the story of Li Xuan, a young urbanite who is drawn into a parallel apocalypse by a nightmare, but unexpectedly awakens spatial abilities, embarking on a path of revenge through the exchange of goods and monopolization of resources between the two worlds. The novel blends elements of zombie sieges, superpower awakening, and interstellar treasure hunting, featuring both thrilling battles against a level-six zombie king and dark humor like trading instant noodles for gold. The author uses the contrast between the dual identities of a "laid-back urban youth" and a "post-apocalyptic survivor" to create a highly suspenseful narrative rhythm, making it a benchmark work of the "underdog's rise to power" genre in 2025 online literature, and definitely worth reading!
