   An atypical heartthrob, an atypical savior, with a cheat ability but not invincible, logically sound, diverse genres, and excellent writing. It involves ghosts, gods, Buddhas, special agents, and the Dragon Group (and much more; I admire the author's ability to weave them all together logically). The emotional handling is also good. There are solo characters and ensemble casts; it's a truly unique and enjoyable read. ❤️❤️❤️ It should be considered as three worlds (atypical small worlds, each with its own characteristics): one is a rule-based supernatural tale, one is similar to live-action role-playing (face-reading deities, similar to "The Omniscient Reader's Perspective"), and the other is similar to a protector (this world contains Taoist and Buddhist karma and may also include some ensemble character mystery). In each world, the male protagonist helps the world's protagonist "save the world" (atypical, none of the world's protagonists are saintly). The protagonists' alternate identities are all very high-class. ❤️❤️
