   Come on! The protagonist gains abilities by accident and is recruited by an official organization. Through a series of events and battles, he gradually uncovers the truth behind the crisis facing the human world. He has parents, is not an orphan, is not a time traveler, does not have a system, is slow-paced, exists in a parallel world, and is science fiction-like (even a bit fantastical). The villains are not unintelligent (lawful evil), and the protagonist has normal values (lawful good). Most of the main supporting characters have their own stories and are not just background characters. The protagonist is not invincible, his abilities are not unique, and he has some advantages, but not many. I hope human society can be like this—when faced with a crisis, someone should step forward.
