   If you enjoy stories of underdogs rising to power in urban martial arts novels, this might be worth a try. Lin Chen awakens to have the lowest talent, suffers endless ridicule, is betrayed by his friends, and falls into a perilous situation, plummeting to the brink of death. Then, with the awakening of his Ghost Mask power, he crawls back from hell, using his strength to shatter all those who looked down on him.

   I stayed up all night to finish this novel, reading the latest chapter in one go. The world-building is grand and expansive, not confined to small-scale conflicts on a single continent or plane. It features multiple systems coexisting, including martial arts, mecha, cultivation, and the belief in evil gods. This novel breaks free from the established framework of similar works, not portraying humanity as a weak race vulnerable to bullying, but rather doing the opposite, setting them as "extraterrestrial demons" feared by evil gods and other races. Furthermore, humanity is generally united against external threats, avoiding internal strife. This setting is incredibly captivating, watching powerful human beings shatter the heavens and sweep across the realms. This is one of the few excellent novels I've read that portrays humanity as so powerful and intimidating. The early cultivation levels feel somewhat repetitive, as this type of novel often employs a hierarchical progression, but this doesn't detract from the reading experience at all—because the excitement of the plot increases exponentially as you progress. The later plot is not only fast-paced and full of twists and turns, but more importantly, the author doesn't just focus on the protagonist. The supporting characters are also meticulously developed. Whether it's the protagonist's comrades, commanders, or enemies from opposing sides, each character has their own personality and backstory, not just a one-dimensional plot device. Sometimes, even minor characters with limited screen time leave a lasting impression with just a few lines or an action. This vivid ensemble cast makes the entire world-building feel more real and relatable. In addition, the humor in the novel is a major highlight. Unlike some novels where humor feels forced and abrupt, the comedic moments in this book are always perfectly placed—perhaps a few banter between the protagonist and his comrades after a tense battle; perhaps a supporting character's quirky actions; or perhaps the protagonist's unconventional witty remarks when facing difficulties. These scenes act like a spice, perfectly easing the tense atmosphere and allowing readers to smile even amidst the excitement, maximizing the reading experience. In the end, everything the protagonist possesses is the result of his own hard work and sweat. I'm not envious of this cheat code at all; it's much more interesting than those mindless, overpowered plots.
