   Reader note

   1. This novel is super good, just a bit short. 2. The protagonist is a farming-style player, which is a common starting point in most survival novels. However, the combat power here isn't exaggerated; the protagonist's combat power isn't significantly higher than others because the main enemy and challenge in this survival story is chaotic energy, requiring strong purification abilities. 3. Unlike other survival novels where the protagonist is a powerhouse with unattainable resources and everyone fawns over them in the world chat, this novel features characters at the same level as the protagonist, each with their own advantages. It's more realistic; after all, talent matters, and with so many people in the world, there's bound to be competition. 4. The regional and world chat channels are generally harmonious. Although there were some player conflicts early on, most people were focused on surviving. Within my capabilities, I'll do my best to help others, which is also for my own benefit. If someone builds a camp elsewhere and purifies an area, my survival pressure is reduced, which I think is great.
