After he dies, however, he is bound by System 888 and sent to various small worlds to take over the lives of the scumbags who lived there. Lin Fan doesn’t feel particularly strongly about it. If he can stay alive, he will; if not, he’ll die. He’s already been bound, so there’s not much he can do about it. The only thing that interests him is System 888. It turns out to be a second-generation System, with a genius System brother, 999, who shares neither parent. A 35.9kReads8.1Score3.5kShelves

   Reader note

   1. There aren't many updates yet. The male lead is selfish and self-serving; those who are good to him will receive small favors. 2. The male lead is a straightforward and honest villain. He's very open about everything and has no taboos. Except in the real world where he needs a safe haven, in the dungeon world he's ruthless and decisive. There are no instances where a woman offends him and he forgives her; he simply kills her. Even in urban dungeons where killing isn't allowed, he'll endure it first and then send his men to kill her. 3. The male lead is remarkably calm, rational, courageous, and resourceful. He's not controlled by his lower instincts and doesn't become easily swayed by women. His cheat abilities are well-balanced—not too overpowered, allowing him to easily dominate, nor too insignificant, but still effective. 4. The male lead is born to be a master; he's particularly good at acting, ensuring all the benefits fall on him. 5. It's a very calm and heartwarming story. The male lead is a self-serving individual who always prioritizes his own interests. He's a collector of cheat codes, and even when the mission involves compensating the original owner's wife, he doesn't act without principle, agreeing to anything. He keeps his spatial abilities for himself, rarely using them during missions. I've read stories where the male lead in a quick transmigration story changes himself to compensate the original owner's wife, spoiling her rotten the moment he arrives. A powerful transmigrator acting like a sycophant is too jarring. This one is much better; the male lead seamlessly transitions into the role of the original owner upon entering the new world, and his transformation doesn't raise suspicion. 6. The protagonist is a complete egoist and self-centered individual. He never engages in internal strife, doesn't hide his true feelings, and doesn't try to whitewash himself or make excuses. Every action he takes is for personal gain, maintaining absolute rationality and composure. The analysis of human nature in each world and the different characters is astonishing! The plot doesn't feel like typical quick transmigration stories where each world's development is largely the same. The cheat codes are used sparingly, not one-sidedly and without any interesting moments. The current rating isn't particularly high, probably because the first few worlds weren't handled well, but you can skip to chapter 140 and onwards! 7. The male protagonist is cautious and prudent; he's negotiable as long as his interests aren't threatened. Most importantly, the diverse story types keep things fresh and exciting, and every world features women.
