   The protagonist's name always seemed a bit off. After finishing the first story, seeing the surname change in the second story made it even more unsettling. Anyway, I'll just use it up with my reading credits for now.

   The author internally recommended the master, the main story has a no-romance ending, and the side stories, besides the master's normal continuation, seem to involve two other characters who are like shady mistresses, and they're even going to be written in separate new worlds. There was no explanation during the serialization that the main story has no romance and multiple male leads; this is simply deceiving the readers.

    The premise is interesting, tagged as a scam (not really related to Cthulhu), the serialization was halted at the VIP level, and the ending is an open ending, but the early plot was still very interesting, which I enjoyed. However, the author's writing skills are insufficient to support the world-building, and many plot holes were left unresolved before the series ended. This book is actually worth reading repeatedly...
