Suffering from atypical personality disorder, Mo Tan said she is under a lot of pressure. For him, a game called "Innocent Realm" is a good place to relieve stress. His frivolous and impulsive nature, coupled with his chaotic neutrality, makes him the root cause and instigator of countless uncontrollable events. He is a lawful and good man, resilient and righteous, and is seen by others as the most just knight and judge. He is absolutely neutral, humble and lacks motivation, and is the reflection and companion of every ordinary soul. Chaotic and evil, he is insane, cruel, and ruthless; he is a demon king and a deceiver who is only kind to himself. "Tanmo is the most outstanding bard I have ever met, although he is somewhat...
