   Reader note

   Rank, gods, and succubi (just kidding). It's a very well-written novel. There's no system; the protagonist becomes stronger step by step. It depicts the desperate situation of humanity, the oppressive environment and atmosphere, and the occasional quirks. The author's writing is also very delicate and doesn't focus on grand scene descriptions. There are no real villains here, only the paths each person chooses.

   This book has a really strong emotional portrayal, and the protagonist's personality is also very distinct. He is not a saint but loving, and also a little silly. Many of the plots are so captivating that you can't stop reading. It's the kind of novel that you can't put down once you start reading.

The gods in the book are not stereotypical figures who are unreachable and omnipotent, but rather possess human weaknesses and struggles, sparking unique moments in the mundane world.
