    A phenomenal book in 2024 with a 9.9 Rating. Top-notch writing, the male protagonist is cold and composed, with an extraordinary IQ (wisdom, not just cleverness). He remains calm and collected, knowing when to advance and retreat, and manipulating people and situations with perfect control. The first ten or so chapters are slow, but it takes off afterward, which is typical of good books (bad books only rely on the beginning). After chapter 30, you won't be able to sleep at night; after chapter 80, there is no more phenomenal book.
