    Even the villains are incredibly unique, the kind you wouldn't want to see eliminated. A group of complete strangers grow to trust each other, and then each becomes indispensable. Everyone has a brain, just like the text says: "Everyone should be the protagonist of their own life, in their own script, where right and wrong are judged by themselves." The writing is superb, incredibly engaging, and full of hilarious moments: Yan Xun is cunning and treacherous, Xue Ran is a lucky fool, and I, Tang Ting, am brave and resourceful. The three of us combined are practically invincible! Everyone is rational, of course, everyone has flaws, some are smart and some are foolish, some are strong and some are weak, but every character is valuable, the characters are well-rounded, and the writing is truly superb. Moreover, even in reality, in a complex system, there are no absolute strongmen; every force has weaknesses and counters. I don't believe the strong are omnipotent! Nor do I think the weak are useless! Even if the underdog triumphs over the powerful, and the ant trying to shake the tree are seen as the fantasies of the weak, can you deny that this isn't a kind of courage?

    This is a great story! Everyone's intelligence is on point, the country is supportive, the audience is supportive, and everyone is united. There's no backstabbing. The main character has multiple personalities, each very powerful, or you could say they're all independent individuals who can switch personalities at any time. However, "each very powerful" doesn't include the personalities of Bi Yi and Jiang Xing. Each personality has its own name and thoughts! See for yourself; it's already over 200 chapters!
