    This book gave me a similar feeling to one I read before. The protagonist is undoubtedly an "actor" in the truest sense, exuding the aura of a genuine actor. Although what I see now is the protagonist striving for so-called ambition, honestly, I haven't seen any "ambition" in the text. The whole thing is just about how dedicated he is, how he differs from other actors and idols. I got the thrill, but it lacked a certain depth. However, the idea that "an actor is a vessel" felt quite fresh. I feel that later chapters should have more suspense instead of such obvious results, otherwise, it would quickly become visually tiring. Overall, it's a good book. The emotions conveyed in the language are very rich. The "female sugar daddy" who interacts with the protagonist plays a crucial role without feeling ambiguous. The female supporting characters are also well-developed, just a little stiff, but it's just a minor flaw. Author, please update soon! ❤️

    **Identity Contrast and Ultimate Comeback:** The protagonist, Huang Ye, hails from the lowest rungs of society, yet infiltrates the city of the righteous gods as an agent of an evil god, creating a stark contrast in his identity. Despite possessing maxed-out evil god power, he's persuaded to become a summoner? This subversive premise creates intense conflict and anticipation, with a high-octane comeback. **Dark Aesthetics and Anti-Routine Thrills:** Abandoning the traditional righteous protagonist template, the protagonist is decisive and ruthless, fighting against corrupt divine authority in the name of the "evil god." The plot is straightforward and fast-paced, with every action exhilarating, catering to readers' desire for thrills and rebellion. **Intelligent Battles and Strategic Domination:** Not a system-driven, cheat-proof story, the protagonist uses his intelligence and evil god abilities to navigate the complex web of forces—the righteous gods, the evil gods, and the ideal state—in a strategic and suspenseful environment. Every move is fraught with danger, filled with twists and turns, maximizing strategic depth and providing a tense and exciting reading experience. The ultimate goal of subverting divine authority: While all novels are about "becoming a god," this book focuses on "killing a god." The protagonist, with the power of a mortal, digs up the graves of the gods and challenges supreme power. This rebellious spirit and epic ambition make readers feel strongly involved and their blood boil.

The characters are vibrant: the sensitive and thoughtful Sparrow; the lively, cheerful, and talkative Sheep, who harbors self-loathing; Butterfly, who acts as a mentor, always noticing and offering timely guidance to her friends; someone who feels "out of step with the times" but is actually a kind and innocent girl; a seemingly cool and aloof boy who loves playing with mirrors but is actually a comedic character who enjoys bickering and guessing games with Sparrow, harboring deep secrets; a devoted male mother who worries endlessly about the main characters; and a doctor who plays disassembly and research with the little black cat.
