It's well-written, but the title is wrong; it's really inappropriate. This isn't the content the author wanted to read.
Personal opinion: It's well-written, but the plot progresses rather slowly, and there's not much of a behind-the-scenes maneuvering or interference with the Ascension Sect. Also, the protagonist doesn't seem to have much of a gaming experience; he's often passive and doesn't seem to have a strong sense of control. Perhaps the plot is indeed progressing too quickly for us to see.
I've read over 20 chapters, and while the protagonist seems very busy, I can't understand what he's busy with, and his strength hasn't improved at all. It's like...
Adding women was a mistake; it was a mistake to discourage people from joining the project.
This isn't a behind-the-scenes manipulator; this is someone playing a leading role.
This is ridiculous! If the protagonist doesn't follow the Ghost Immortal path, he'll be a complete blank slate. The Ghost Immortal path is too slow; leveling up is slow, and he's constantly getting beaten up – it's so frustrating!
It's good. Unlike a behind-the-scenes story, it's more like a typical brute force story. The protagonist does almost everything himself and is often in danger, but the plot is still very engaging. (The protagonist has one annoying quirk: he loves to tell riddles, like about his father's corpse, poisonous fish, and moving mountains. When people ask him what happened, he just tells them to believe him and that's it, without any explanation.)
Importance of follow-up reading
Hey everyone~ If possible, don't let a book "grow" (or "nurturing") before publishing. New books tend to lose popularity quickly, attract fewer readers, and fail to get featured, making them very difficult to promote. (This is the current situation.) Of course, it's all voluntary; it depends on your individual circumstances. After all, if a book isn't appealing, shouting about it won't help. I'd appreciate some more attention~ Thanks~
The book is quite good, but the current content doesn't quite match the title "The Mastermind." Many readers drawn in by the title are those who enjoy stories of protagonists lurking behind the scenes and causing trouble, but so far, the protagonist is rather unconventional, taking numerous risks to increase his strength.
Isn't it a bit too much to ask for a girl with such a tragic life to be so picky? To be honest, after reading more than twenty chapters, I can't see any plans for the future from the protagonist at all (personal opinion). There are few main plots and many side plots.
