    It's incredibly good, judging by my reading time. The protagonist is a member of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and has a system. The synopsis explains everything. It's an unconventional "power fantasy" novel; the early parts are side quests, only entering the main storyline later. It gets 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 about killing and ruthless action. 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.
