The main character is a slightly bolder version of the character from Top Tier Providence. He doesn't go around picking fights, frequently hides his identity, emotional but also detached, and doesn't typically risk his life seeking riches. His "cheat" ability starts off as being able to succeed in creating products with a 1 in 10 rate. The ability has the ability to upgrade as time goes on. He starts off with talismans and pills, but later in the story, he even uses it for creating food and drink.The plot structure reminds me of Martial Peak. The MC upgrades his cultivation a few tiers, goes up to the next world, adds a few romantic partners, gets lost, and then has to do it all over again. Unlike Martial Peak, there's a stronger sense of helplessness when confronting stronger enemies and natural disasters. Throughout the story, there's a strong sense of the MC's destiny being guided by various parties for unknown reasons and he's constantly getting tangled in things beyond his vision.I like that there are a lot of recurring characters. Everyone is living their own life and they will pop in and out of MC's life as he adventures or holes up in a spot. Sometimes it's an enemy, sometimes it's a friend.
