    Reader note

    For some readers, this book might be perfect. The protagonist's absolute confidence and calculated strategy throughout the entire story perfectly capture the thrill of victory. The protagonist, Fang Xiu, uses his "infinite rewind" ability to turn the unknown into "known cards," gaining a god-like perspective from the start and meticulously resolving every crisis. He doesn't need to gamble on luck, as any mistake can be corrected through rewinds. He has already figured out the intricacies of his opponents' schemes, hidden traps, and crucial opportunities through countless rewinds. From the wording of a conversation to the trajectory of a game, he plans the optimal solution in advance. What seems like a risky move is actually under complete control. Every action paves the way for ultimate victory. There's no passive or pathetic situation, only the exhilarating feeling of "everything is under my control," perfectly fulfilling the expectation of a "sure-win protagonist."
