Yes, he's absolutely unhinged, but he's so smart that it becomes super hard not to want to just bask in his presence. His intelligence helps to facilitate his money hungriness and, at this point, I say just hand over the dollars (yuan?). Every time he enters an instance there's no tension of 'will he or won't he make it out'. He will and he'll take every good thing/reward the system gives without a backward glance (as he should, absolute king).
Still, even though he's probably a sociopath, he's pretty good to the people around him even if he's just using them. It sends me the way they're willing to be used because he's so sure and steady all the time. It's a mood though. Even as a reader who KNOWS that he makes gambles on low chances, I get excited and fully believe in what he's saying every time he opens his mouth just to be slapped in the face with the fact that he's kinda just winging it based on like a 60% chance of success. It's fantastic!
The ML hasn't come up too much so far but the glimpses we've gotten of him gives me good vibes so I'm excited to meet him fully. I'm sure his interactions with Bai Liu will be fun.
Oh BTW, Xiao Bai Liu is at once the cutest and most annoying character I've had the pleasure of reading recently so have fun with that.
