    Well then, I'll shamelessly volunteer myself. The male lead's aloofness and arrogance ("I'm the best in the world!") In the early stages might be a bit off-putting. (Later he'll lean towards the 2.5 Type.) His special ability, "Entropy Increase," requires you to develop its specific uses yourself. Currently, I don't have a female lead in mind.

    🧐This has such a powerful staying power! The plot flows so smoothly, it feels like witnessing history firsthand, without any sense of disconnect from a God's-eye view. The character development is particularly outstanding; they are assertive when necessary without being obsequious, and self-reflective without being stubborn. The ensemble scenes are also realistic: the human race has its internal conflicts but is even more united, and after arguments, they band together as one. This idealistic yet not naive sense of collectivism is a breath of fresh air in online novels! I've already recommended it to my book club overnight.

    The protagonist is a somewhat eccentric genius with an invincible start. It's an ensemble piece with elements of Cthulhu mythos. The protagonist is obsessed with creating different monsters to improve himself. The novel focuses relatively little on the protagonist himself, mainly depicting the conflicts between his subordinates. The writing style and world-building are quite good. Those interested can give it a try.
