    Judging from the novel's synopsis, before you possess the power to overturn the world, you must remain low-key, patient, and even subdued! Any boastful behavior during your weaker period is, in my opinion, clownish! The forbearance and subdued feelings in the first few volumes are merely foreshadowing the ruthless growth of the protagonist in the later volumes! In the world depicted in this book, there are few so-called "good people," and even the few good people among them couldn't make the protagonist, a young man who transmigrated from the new era, accept that world! A person who feels no sense of belonging to the world, who suffers humiliation during their weaker period, will be terrifying once they grow up! Not for the faint of heart!
