   The first book is more logical, but the early stages are rather uneventful and slow-paced. The protagonist fights five opponents without any special abilities, thanks to the system's cheat codes, and he has a harem. The second book, on the other hand, is guaranteed by the author's million-book track record; it's witty and humorous, the protagonist is decisive and ruthless, and not a saint. I particularly liked the third book. After clearing a few dungeons, it moves on to a competition in the starry sky.

    I recommend a survival thriller with a high-dimensional plot, deep storyline, mind-bending twists and turns, and is a favorite among readers of novels like Edge of Tomorrow, The Butterfly Effect, Inception, The Mist, and Source Code. The novel is full of suspense, plot twists, and intricate connections, with foreshadowing and cleverly constructed plot points. The protagonist, supporting characters, and antagonists are all cunning and resourceful, either already a master strategist or on their way to becoming one. The protagonist, Zhang Haoran, is incredibly funny. He often solves problems with intelligence, the plot is ingenious, and the time-travel elements are significant enough to rewrite the future.
