    It subverts the usual tropes; both minor characters and villains are well-developed. For example, you might not like the class monitor at first, but by the end, even if you still don't like him, you won't hate him; you'll just admire him. [Licking screen] Actually, I feel the author should change the book's title. Rather than a system upgrade story, the author's portrayal of the relationship between the male and female leads is extremely delicate. I suggest putting it in the female-oriented section as well. [Licking screen] @GreyTrajectory I have a general framework idea: the entire world in the book is a game world, and the white light that flashes when the protagonist's time is up is a system reset. [Shy][cool] This game world was created by the future protagonist to awaken the female lead who has cerebral palsy. [Cool] In this world, he keeps going back in time to become stronger, inventing nuclear fusion and exploring the depths of the universe in order to awaken the "female lead in the real world."
