45. 345 系 System: I'll Start by Ruining the Myriad Worlds' Public Image 系统：诸天万界人设塌房从我做起 Yang Junyi杨竣轶Urban411k WordsOngoing The first volume is fairly entertaining. The second volume is a Matrix side story. I thought it was pretty good when I wrote it, but after reviewing it while writing the third volume, Smiling, Proud Wanderer, I realized the second volume wasn't very well executed. Only the supporting character Cypher appears in the second volume, a character readers who've seen the movie will remember. Almost everything else has no impact on the main plot. Recommendation: Readers can skip the second volume and 90Reads—Score—Shelves
