Overall a far better read than most original novels but still immensely disappointing. -world building is completely ignored, 260 chapters in and we know next to nothing about the real world. -The main character seems to completely change personality from chapter to chapter and it becomes increasingly harder to identify in him: he starts out as being willing to do anything in order to survive (poisoning teammates in advance during the firt nightmare), then he somehow becomes able to throw his life away for two girls a few days after having met them (he basically becomes good natured). He then leaves the female lead because she was planning to sacrifice hundreds of people but then he somehow rejoins her because she asks for help???? He even changed his name from sunless (which I thought was a cool name) to sunny (perfect name for a simp). -every other character seems to completely change personality as well in order to further the plot. The female lead turns from a shy girl to a deceptive murderer, cassie turns from an innocent girl to cold and indifferent. Like what the hell is happening? Every single character is hateful and immensely irritating. -i dont know what to say about the plot but the mc was hiding everything for 200 chapters only to reveal everything to everyone for no apparent reason. Also the pacing is terribly slow, 250 chapters in and he hasn't even gone above sleeper rank (the lowest rank). It feels like the author has no clear direction for the story and is just writing whatever comes to mind daily.

I agree man. I don't know why the author did what he did. the amount of change they have in their ideals makes them appear edgy in a cringy way. like nephis was cautious at first, learned being calculative from him, willing to sacrifice thosuands, then we found out she had the conviction all the time, and then she enslaves him because she is a good person. like what the hell is happening with the character smh. don't even get me started on cassie. not only did he not kill her but when he made her feel bad about her decision he regrets for hurting her feeling all the while she was indifferent to the decision she made. I wanna insult the author but I won't.

Very true. Idk why this novel is so high rated, I guess the novel quality of webnovel have fallen so low that people are now happy with just reading this kind of story. It's dissappointing
