    This book has an unexpected plot and doesn't contain any mindless storylines. The logic is rigorous, and the protagonist is an extremely self-serving person. It's not a mindless novel! It's not a mindless novel! It's not a mindless novel! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good story, look elsewhere. If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss a lot of foreshadowing. One last thing: use your brain while reading and don't skip ahead. There might be a single word or sentence that contains key elements that are related to subsequent plot developments.

    I'd like to recommend this to the author to motivate him to write more. It's a long cultivation novel, without a system, and slow-paced.
