    Reader note

    Looking for something mind-bending? The protagonist is a suspicious 'political machine,' and his every breakthrough isn't through sudden enlightenment, but through scheming, betrayal, and ruthless maneuvering. Watching him navigate the complexities of various factions, even scheming against his own people, is more thrilling than watching a cool action movie. The plot twists and turns layer by layer; what you think is the first layer is actually the fifth. It broadens your perspective to the point that true power lies in understanding and utilizing the rules of the world, even... Reconstructing them.
