"Useless", non existent, insignificant ML. I don't even care about his existence throughout the 50 chapters. That's how good the plot and the MC alone are.The side characters are also more important for me than the worthless non-existent ML since they've truly been the only people by the MC's side for a longer time, I feel more attached to them and I appreciate their presence than the ML who only appeared after 50 chaps and basically doesn't protect the MC.He's annoying for me (at least his arrogant attitude is). I believe this novel would have been perfect without an op and powerful ML. Just a normal ghost is even better than the ML. The two ghost kids adopted by the MC is even better than the ML. Even the strong "elder sister"/second rank player that doted on the MC is better than the ML (first rank).No, the ML didn't do anything particularly bad to the MC. But that's exactly it, he's basically like an accessory that just showed interest on the MC but will not really proactively protect the MC unlike the second rank strongest player Shi Tianzu, who doted on the MC.Yes, I specifically made a review to vent my frustration on the non existent ML, that's not really significant for the betterment of this novel.REAL REVIEWThis novel is a masterpiece. Im serious. Aside from the flaw, that is the ML (gong). The plot in each instance is mind blowing, heart- wrenching and unique. The name of the novel doesn't give this justice. Salted fish? MC is basically the main person doing the puzzle solving and mystery unlocking throughout each instance, with the first instance being him in his most lazy state since he just wants to hug a thigh, but that obviously didn't work in the following chapters. So, yeah, MC is not a salted fish that he claimed to be, he even exhausted himself to the point of collapse when protecting his friends on the second instance. He's kind and emotionless at the same time. Strong but "lowkey". I love the MC THE MOST and his two children just added to the cuteness of this novel.I just ignore the ML and everything seems perfect
