Really liking it so far. So the story is set in a future China where a reality TV show is sponsored by the government to basically show off the police and showcase just how hard it is for a criminal to escape in order to discourage crime. The MC is one of 50 "fugitive" volunteer participants seeking to escape the police for as long as possible, with a cash prize growing each day they stay free. But our MC has an advantage, which is a system. He gets points for shocking or surprising people, and can use those points to buy skills. He really quickly becomes super OP, but that doesn't detract from the story because the focus is never on how OP the protagonist is but on how he uses those skills to evade the police with flair. He's also not a god. He's still very much grounded by physics and human limitations, and he's also only one person compared to the nation-spanning police network. Some of his antics stretch reality a bit, but the setting is already "not real" so it isn't jarring for him to pull off action movie level stunts.
