   Book Recommendation | *I Grant Humanity Extraordinary Powers, Creating a Dawn of Hope*: A Savior's Portrait Through the Shadows. In the vast universe of online novels, *I Grant Humanity Extraordinary Powers, Creating a Dawn of Hope* stands out as a work that masterfully blends "behind-the-scenes + ensemble cast + global superpowers." The story begins in the "Superpower Era," with the birth of the first superpowered individual, completely rewriting the order of Earth. Behind all this lies the figure of the protagonist, Chen Chao. He merges with an unknown life form, wielding the ability to extract "superpower seeds," like a hidden creator, spreading extraordinary power across the world. With each superpower granted to someone, he reaps the "origin of life," accumulating lifespan to achieve "immortality" and shouldering the burden of saving the world. The protagonist is almost "invisible" in the early stages, handing the stage to the ensemble cast. Superpowered individuals of different identities and personalities appear, navigating between global crises and personal struggles. Their growth and choices piece together a true slice of the superpower era. Unlike traditional wish-fulfillment novels that focus on lone protagonists, this story weaves a web of characters, grounding the "supernatural" and revealing the complexity of human nature and the weight of collective struggle. The "behind-the-scenes manipulation" is its biggest highlight. Chen Chao, like a reclusive figure on the wheel of fate, silently propels the superpower wave, yet, as his lifespan accumulates, he becomes entangled in a struggle between "immortality" and "responsibility"—when mortals' fates are altered by supernatural abilities, how should he, the "creator," define his own existence? This exploration of "power and cost" and "individual and collective" elevates the story beyond the wish-fulfillment framework, adding depth and philosophical reflection. The main plot is complete, with epilogues filling in the details, making it suitable for readers who enjoy "a global perspective + ensemble narrative + in-depth reflection." If you're tired of a single protagonist's dominance and want to see how "behind-the-scenes gods" rewrite the world through mortals, this book is worth reading carefully. Witness the struggles of mortals and the power struggles of gods in the superpowered era, as they collectively weave a web of hope for the dawn.

   The true behind-the-scenes story features the protagonist's ultimate copying talent. The first chapter explains the background, the second chapter mainly focuses on the cheat ability, and the third chapter is where things get interesting.

The protagonist stays behind the scenes to receive the results, casually enlightening one protagonist after another (both positive and negative).

    The characters in this book are all unique and distinct; there are no mundane, repetitive characters, and each one is their own protagonist! Best of all, the author knows how to be cool without any pretense! The first two chapters show the protagonist in a terrible state, so scared he wets his pants, but then he takes off. The story is very logical, requiring no brainpower. It's one of the few logically sound stories in Tomato's collection. Even after becoming powerful, the protagonist doesn't forget to train his brothers, sister, and father, nurturing them so they can work for him, while he gives them daily foot massages! The book also incorporates many treasures from popular movies and TV shows, such as obtaining a superpower crystal through a lottery, which logically awakens his mental power.

    The first book features a protagonist who appears to be a student but secretly has built a "bandit" organization. The writing style is humorous and not at all depressing, and it includes many inside jokes (Red Boss, Blue Silver Entanglement, etc.). I personally quite liked this book. The second book features a protagonist who learns alchemy, array formations, and talisman-making techniques, and raises many pets on the island. Together, they build Pisces Island and later transform it into a flying island, traveling the world with their companions. I also quite liked this one; it's suitable for people who dislike conflict (though the protagonist will kill those who deserve it).
