It is one of the darkest novels I have ever read.
This novel always surprises you.
The MC is a merciless anti-hero without an iota of sympathy and is smart and cunning.
The author's art in explaining events and beautiful scenes is one of the best strengths of this novel.
Excellent translation into English has made anti-hero one of the best novels in the genre.
It is so dark and anti-system (government) that the Chinese government stopped the publication of this novel in chapter 2334. Of course, the story is not half finished and all the adventures have been discussed.
An attractive story for those who like the Isekai and dark genre, this novel will not disappoint you. It has a lot of story tension, I tried not to spoil as much as possible. So that you can experience this novel.
In general, to conclude this novel:
