    Reader note

    Let me share my thoughts. I've read quite a few books on hiding, but most of them focus on staying put in one place and not venturing out. While this is certainly a safe and reliable approach, after reading this book, I was surprised to discover that it's possible to do this? - Being a "survivor" doesn't mean hiding in one place for decades or even tens of thousands of years; it means truly integrating into every aspect of life. You can constantly detect the protagonist's survivability and caution, even in the later stages. There are so many plot points and foreshadowing that I kept exclaiming, "Holy crap, I forgot about that! Holy crap, is that even possible? Holy crap, this actually works?" Moreover, the protagonist's enemies (like the antagonistic relationship with Lao Liu during this phase) are very intelligent, at least much more so than many characters in other books I've read. Countless times I thought, "This guy is so awesome, isn't the protagonist going to die?" But as I read on, I realized, "Damn, the protagonist is even more awesome! I admire him!" And then I started to play it safe because you never know what other tricks the protagonist has up his sleeve. His survivability might even be kept secret from us readers. Even if the protagonist does die one day, I'll definitely think, "This must be Xiao Wu's conspiracy! Someone else is going to suffer and be schemed against!" And then I'll mourn for them for a few seconds.
