   Well… good books all give me different feelings, yet they're also the same – leaving me wanting more. This book doesn't have any clichéd or overused tropes (though it does have some). The character development is quite successful; each character's personality, appearance, and relationships are all very well done. There's humor, but it's not forced; it feels natural. I envy the protagonist for having a second chance to make up for the past, so I think it's a kind of satisfying read, haha. I also envy the harmonious family relationships of Chen Huan (thank you Chen Jingshan, hehe). I'm grateful that their happiness in the Second World touched me. This is a good novel. The beginning might not be perfectly crafted, but please don't give up. Keep reading; like many books, it gets more interesting the more you read. It's natural, calm, and the pace is steady without being drawn out. It might not have the dramatic twists and turns of many masterpieces, but its calm and soothing humor is equally captivating.

    Not a comedy, but with an overall cheerful and heartwarming atmosphere. A groundbreaking blend of legion warfare and supernatural adventure! The overall atmosphere is lighthearted, and the protagonist gradually evolves into a villain. As a new author with no reference books, the story is still in its exploratory phase. The villains aren't purely evil; they are powerless in reality but accidentally gain power and fall into a state of self-deception. Even so, most villains simply use their abilities to implement their own ideals, unfortunately missing the opportunity to cooperate with the protagonist's group. [Legion Warfare] + [Suspenseful Battle of Wits] + [Special Abilities] + [Supernatural Adventure]. First-person perspective, not an ensemble piece, so don't worry about perspective confusion! Furthermore, because it involves an adventure with a legion, the horror elements are not prominent, and the atmosphere is primarily cheerful. The novel mainly tells the story of Yang Kaimen, who dies and travels to Earth in 2025, becoming the world's only sorcerer, and ultimately uniting with his brothers to establish a new power. The protagonist's ability is "End of the World Beginning," which, as depicted in the text, allows him to move around in a colored world where time has stopped for a period of time. This world is defined as a new world line, and the protagonist can then choose to enter either the colored gray world line (which is the old and new world lines) and erase the trajectory of the unselected world line.
