   The new book is currently in its third chapter, which is not yet finished. It features live streams, but without mindless hosts. The live stream comments are minimal, and compared to other rule-based supernatural novels, there are no idiotic supporting characters, no inexplicably gifted characters who can ignore the rules, no loopholes in the rules for the protagonist to exploit, and no deliberately created comedic moments. The story's atmosphere is good, and it primarily focuses on the "rules" rather than the "monsters." It avoids the obvious cheapness of other novels, such as using disgusting monster descriptions to enhance the atmosphere; this is absent. The writing emphasizes scene rendering, and the author's dedication is evident, especially in the second and third chapters. There's a training base sequence between the second and third chapters, essentially a later starting area. Some readers found it uninteresting, but it's only a few chapters long and doesn't significantly impact the overall plot; you can skip it if you don't like it. In fact, I think that part of the story is fine, and the protagonist handles it well. The protagonist is a character who respawns after death, but currently can only revive ten times per game, and shows noticeable fatigue starting from the third revival. Novels about death and time travel are primarily story-driven, with less emphasis on mystery. The author is also a new writer, and I believe she will write even better works in the future.
