   Reader note

   This is the only book on the entire 🍅 series. The theme is novel and very engaging. Judging from my reading time, the protagonist is a member of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion with a system. The synopsis explains everything. It's an unconventional "power fantasy" novel; the early parts are side stories, only entering the main plot later. It gets better and better as you read on. (If you don't like it, you can exit in the upper left corner, but please don't leave a negative review.) This book isn't just a "ruthless" power fantasy where everything is just killing. The protagonist is a pleasure-seeker. If there were a Star God in this world, he would definitely belong to the pleasure faction (not the tavern type, but more like an older generation of pleasure-seeking travelers). This is just my personal opinion.

    This book is very well written, but not many people have read it. The more you read it, the more enjoyable it becomes. It's already completed, featuring plot twists, contractual romance, and gradual development of feelings. The setting and plot are well-paced, neither exaggerated nor weak. It's good!
