"Attention: English is not my primary language. I haven't completed the story, and I may not finish it. Currently, I'm on the 'Judgment Day' arc and have lost interest. The issue lies with the machine translation, which makes it difficult for me to continue despite the promised romance.
Nonetheless, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. The initial 130 chapters are fantastic. Initially, the horror isn't intense, but it gradually escalates. Although the challenges don't seem lethal, they possess their own terrifying plot. Zong Jiu, the main character, is apathetic - not inherently good or bad, but simply going through the experience. His intelligence allows him to showcase his former prowess as a magician, catching the attention of the love interest.
Spoilers follow:
Initially, I believed Zhuge An to be the main love interest (ML), but upon realizing my mistake, it left me heartbroken. I truly adore him.
The main ML, No. 1, is strong, cunning, cold, and charismatic - essentially, the devil. Despite that, Zhuge An captured my affection.
In my opinion, the 'First High School' arc was the most captivating I've read. Set in a school environment, although there's less physical combat, the psychological pressure, bizarre NPCs, and gory plot make it compelling. Characters become dear to the reader.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this novel, even though I haven't finished it. The parts I've read are thrilling, and I believe the rest would be too."
