    Reader note

    The first book's protagonist is a time traveler who enters a world of supernatural rules and cooperates with and fights against people from other planets. The second book also features people from other planets, but their roles are minor; the focus is on the power struggles between nations and the reasons behind the supernatural rules. The third book's protagonist is originally from the supernatural rules world, but later loses his memory and comes to the Dragon Kingdom to participate. He has a somewhat cold personality, and although the story revolves around the power struggles between nations, the chosen ones from other countries are not mindless; they are all exceptionally intelligent and act as the protagonist's partners. It has a slightly ensemble cast.
