   Reader note

   The protagonist is an ordinary student with no system or cheat codes; he relies solely on deduction. Moreover, this is a true rule-based supernatural tale where violating the rules results in a loss of sanity, and once that sanity is depleted, the protagonist undergoes a transformation, rather than dying instantly upon violation. The book has a very positive moral compass; the protagonist possesses a conscience and believes in the principle of good deeds being rewarded and evil deeds being punished. Furthermore, the book doesn't artificially lower the intelligence of supporting characters; it also depicts many capable individuals from other countries.
