    🔥A must-read for a bookworm of over a decade! It was previously ranked number one on the Western fantasy bestseller list with over 400,000 readers. It was incredibly enjoyable, I stayed up all night reading it! In a post-apocalyptic world, the protagonist can travel through time, immediately reporting it to the nation, and then receiving nationwide support! A steel torrent versus magic, giving them a touch of technological awe. The reactions of the magical world's inhabitants to modern technology are hilarious. As the world unfolds, the thrills escalate wave after wave, it's simply unbeatable! In short, it's super good! 🔥🔥
