If she sees a health bar, she attacks; if she sees a chest, she loots it. One day, she wins a spot in the beta test for the new single-player game Second Life. She transmigrates shortly after entering the game. And has no idea it happened. Because the game’s System came along too. The player enters the game. The player skips all the background information.

   This is a very authentic Fourth Calamity story. If you've played a lot of games, the reading experience will be greatly enhanced. When you encounter familiar game references, you'll genuinely smile. Character design: The protagonist is a mixed-evil character. There are no childish or playful interactions with NPCs. Thankfully, from beginning to end, the player is always just a player and won't develop too many feelings for NPCs or become too attached to the world. Playing games is all about having fun. Plot: Personally, I felt it was a bit chaotic, lacking a clear main storyline. It was mostly driven by the female protagonist's curiosity, jumping from one thing to another. However, this reading experience also fits the player's perspective; after all, isn't playing a game about doing whatever you want? It's a mixed bag, I guess. Romance: I guess it's a no-romance story? The male lead's lines in the entire story probably don't even add up to 200 words, haha. If I hadn't glanced at it while writing the rating, I would have thought it was a no-romance story, and that the female lead just wanted to play games and get stronger. Finally, I originally wanted to give it 4 stars, but seeing a bunch of girls giving it 1 star in a fit of madness, I have to give it my full support.

A luxurious seaside estate, a shadow lurking in the depths of the sea, and a school concealing a wondrous museum. This script is something only she, the chosen one, can handle.

The literary version: He uses desire as a trap, blood as bait, and his looks as a disguise to hunt the wolves that prey in the dark. He is a serial killer on the FBI's Most Wanted list. He gives as good as he gets, does as he pleases, and answers to no one. He chose a codename for himself: Final Cut 73kFavorites47.3kClicks/ch16.4kGifts

   The male lead is so likable. He's carefree and irresponsible, but incredibly reliable when it matters. He's witty and resourceful, kind but not naive, and while he's not particularly strong, he manages to navigate various factions effectively. He's handsome yet self-aware, and he doesn't treat the readers like fools. The plot isn't complicated; it's almost entirely about brute force overcoming all skill. The highlight is how the second senior brother uses his connections to intimidate others and how he unexpectedly solves the problem. Don't worry about the process; just focus on whether the problem is solved or not. Personally, I feel that although there are many main characters, it doesn't really feel like an ensemble piece. Apart from the second senior brother, whose character is very well-developed, the other characters are quite stereotypical. As for the romantic storyline, perhaps it's a personal matter, but I just can't get into it; they're all too stereotypical. In short, I haven't had such a enjoyable reading experience in a long time. I laughed so hard under the covers that the bed was shaking. Highly recommended!

   A rare, gentle, infinite-flow game where you don't die even if you lose, allowing for more opportunities for cooperation between players. However, precisely because of this, the sense of oppression found in typical infinite flow works is lacking, and the quality of maintaining human decency while defying the instinct for survival cannot be demonstrated. The dungeon design isn't so much about being mind-bending, but rather about the information gap between the author and the reader. It's like playing a riddle; one or two are quite interesting, but if all the dungeons are the same, it gets a bit tiresome. Many later dungeons require "supplementing the setting" from the protagonist's perspective after the game starts. To put it nicely, the "system" is really wicked; to put it bluntly, it's like the author is patching things up. The romance... Emmm, my assessment is that it's worse than no romance at all. There's almost no storyline outside of the main storyline. The mystery surrounding the younger brother's death, which was built up over a long period, turned out to be meaningless. Inside the story, the protagonist is just a "tool" and his involvement is never as strong as his teammates. Plus, without the death threat or other suspenseful elements, it feels like a group of functional NPCs (teammates) playing house with the two main characters. This is only suitable for readers who are tired of the typical infinite flow genre to cleanse their souls; don't expect anything else.
