Non-stop action, with the MC doing crazier and crazier things in each arc. It's great for what it is, and if you are a fan of this kind of stuff you will enjoy it. It unironically would make a great movie/manga series or even a videogame setting.The only problem is that this novel suffers from the 2021 syndrome of the ccp's new (old) cenorship regulations that forced everyone to write in a very specific and safe style. That is to say..... the most unrealistic aspect of a person using a magic system powered by 'people being impressed (ie fake internet points) ' to escape the police in a live streamed tv show by magically acquiring godly winggliding skills after snatching a diamond with godly ventriliquism after sneaking themselves into a party by hiding in a box that he paid to have delievered is........ how the government is not corrupt, how the public 100% love the police, and how all the bad guys are either forigners or degenerate drug addicts who wontongly engage in r*pe, kidnapping, and mu*der. Theres no real moral ambiguity, just pure black and white characters. All chinese are good people who look after one another and the world is at peace thanks to the ccp. The author lays it on.... really thick. But at the same time, you can tell it's not what he wants because he Spoiler
forces the police to be constantly humilitated and have mental breakdowns. He sets up elaborate traps and "kills" lots of people". The MC plays this weird role of being both a villian and a hero
[collapse] It's also eye rolling the extreme lengths the government/tv show will go to keep things 'fair' and put up with the mc's crazyness. At some point, you just know someone somewhere should put an end to the whole show if this was 'reality'.I had to stop reading and take a break when the MC Spoilerdecided he would continue to evade the police by acquiring a gang and become a crime lord king pin by going after a real person, having them arrested for the real crimes they did, then make the tv production staff substitute in-actors to play the roles of the people arrested so he could role play while using the arrested person's assets.
[collapse] That's just bonkers.
