    I love watching high-level martial arts games ❤️❤️ Group scenes or lone wolves are both great. The protagonist is calm, composed, and always manages to dominate from a safe position. The first map in the early game is often the most exciting! 👍

    It's well-written. The male lead is intelligent, his character and career are well-developed, and the writing is decent. It's exciting when it needs to be, without any forced displays of power. The supporting characters aren't brainless either, and the female lead is adorable. The development of their relationship isn't abrupt (the reason being that the male lead anonymously donated to the nursing home where the female lead's father lived, and after the female lead found out, she painted a picture to comfort him when he was found to have no talent and was living a foolish life). Overall, it's quite well-written.
