   This book features a consistently high level of intelligence, and the protagonist, like the author, thinks critically. It's a post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel; the system is merely a catalyst. The key is that the protagonist is fleshed out, intelligent, and has his own thoughts. The protagonist isn't initially presented with overwhelming sentimentality—after all, no normal person would act that way. My new book is now available; please give it a try and leave a comment.

    Haha, hello friend! If you're looking for something that doesn't lower your intelligence, then this book might be suitable. Currently, in the opening chapters, I'm establishing the protagonist's character.

Science constantly stops, experiences, learns, records, helps, interferes, searches, and restores in various universes. But… Ye Buyan's remaining time is limited… Single female lead, no messy or ambiguous scenes, no harem elements, no mindless chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), no impulsive, brainless, or overly dramatic moments. The female lead hasn't appeared yet, and the protagonist is relatively mature (I understand the awkwardness you might feel while reading).
