   It's so addictive, you can't stop reading, it's pure bliss! Once you start, no one says a word. It's already completed, no female lead, ruthless and decisive, a story of killing from beginning to end. The Imperial Guards, wielding imperial power, act with impunity, daring to mess with anyone who dares to challenge them, leveling up quickly. The ending involves regicide, defeating the final boss, and then it's over—at least it doesn't just change the setting and rehash the same old thing.
