   If you're looking for a web novel that "ignites your inner chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) and gets your brain working, reserve a whole weekend for this one. It seamlessly weaves together "superpowered combat," "conspiracy by conglomerates," and "international power struggles": 1. The action scenes are straight out of a movie—parachuting into snowfields, missiles cutting through glaciers, aerial fleet clashes—every chapter is a budget-burning spectacle. 2. The political drama is surprisingly "comprehensible"—UN Security Council votes, military orders, media trolls, famine in blockade zones—all mirror reality. 3. Every character is "armed with both weapons and brains"—the protagonist, after mutating, suppresses his cannibalistic urges with willpower; the female lead is criticized for using a "marriage agreement" as a weapon; the ruthless father is still playing chess until the very last second. The downside is its sheer size; prepare coffee and liver-protecting pills before diving in. After reading it, you'll wonder: is this a wish-fulfillment novel or a prophecy? 888
