   It's arguably the pinnacle of fantasy comedy! A world-class powerhouse disguises himself as a complete weakling to roam the heavens, with gods, kings, and immortal emperors all playing disguises—a premise that inherently provides a satisfying experience. From a clay figure in a newbie village causing a sect-wide uproar, to a shopping list turning into a sword manual and underwear becoming a chaotic treasure, every scene is filled with adorable contrasts and hilarious moments of overwhelming power. The plot is wildly imaginative, featuring alter egos fighting each other, villainous plots turning into fireworks, and schizophrenic romances. Absolute strength collides with a laid-back, survival-oriented approach, creating a wonderfully unique experience. It offers the exhilarating feeling of an invincible protagonist while also providing laugh-out-loud moments of absurd comedy. High-energy from start to finish, it's a true stress-relieving masterpiece!

After the protagonist is released from the labor camp, he awakens a commander-type superpower, allowing him to borrow the power of others. It's quite strong, but also rather useless, since he needs a team. But that's not a problem for the protagonist, as his clones come in handy. Not only that, each clone also awakens various abilities. The protagonist takes his clones into dungeons, breaking records every time. The clones also need to level up and grow independently, but to prevent others from discovering the relationship between the clones and the main body, they wear hoods. These hoods were sewn by the protagonist himself over three months of sewing [smirk]. Since they are clones, they are not quite the same as normal people, so each clone's data is a bit abnormal, which has caught the attention of the authorities. If they are caught, "art is an explosion" will be staged... The main body is quite low-key, but the clones are all funny and particularly good at causing trouble [evil grin].

    Reader note

    These three books are my absolute favorites. Don't let the low ratings fool you; they're incredibly fresh and unique, unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. My absolute favorite is the third one, then the second, and then the first. Let me talk about the third one. It doesn't have the typical immature, childish, or twisted male protagonist found in traditional novels, but rather a character with a touch of madness and stubbornness. It also features the unfortunate best friend, Little Fatty. He's not the typical sycophantic follower; he uses his own strength to help the protagonist. He's not the kind of friend who isn't particularly talented but stays by the protagonist's side during difficult times, needing the protagonist's financial support to thrive. Instead, he genuinely helps the protagonist when needed. They're separated early on, but when they reunite later, there's no awkwardness because they believe in each other's unwavering loyalty. Little Fatty might not be that strong, but he dared to resist injustice. He believed his brother could win, and he was confident enough that even if he was the only one in the world who believed in him, he would fight to the death. He wasn't the cowardly, helpless type who would step in to take the fall at the last moment; rather, he was someone with his own thoughts, who would find ways and do everything possible to stand by the protagonist's side and help him. I think the protagonist didn't initially want to win that much, nor did he have a clear goal or purpose. But after Little Fatty's death, he felt that his brother's dream was his own dream. He couldn't stand the evil in the world, and he wanted to change it all!!! It's truly a wonderful story \^O^/, and the ending of the novel is a big surprise, one of the highlights of the book and what makes it different from other books.
