   The protagonist, Su Qi, has a fresh card-making logic; it's not just mindless wish-fulfillment. Each card design is cleverly crafted (for example, using everyday items to create cards). The online romance plot also avoids clichés, and the real-life encounter and subsequent sisterhood isn't melodramatic. The author's descriptions of card battles are detailed, allowing you to vividly imagine the special effects. It's suitable for readers who enjoy light slice-of-life stories. The pacing is steady, without major plot holes, and it's worth reading.

He uses points to exchange for divine skills: [Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission] to issue decrees remotely, [Thousand-Change Demonic Voice] to imitate divine pronouncements, and [Quantum Monitor] to create a system interface. He uses money to bribe mortals, outsources low-level tasks, and accumulates capital. He selects the "lucky ones," gives them the identity of "pioneers," and throws out a deadly bait.
