A breath of fresh air to the whole genre of "evil MC". Reading up to the latest chapter I'm pleased to announce that there was no romantic interest and can only hope there never will be. The world background is a bit lackluster, no deeper explanation towards the so called "Special Department" or even the country the story is set in, The quality of the translation is quite good and I haven't encountered any errors that stopped my immersion. The character development isn't consistent, there are characters that exhibit a wide array of emotions and are actually believable and pleasant to read while others are just one-dimensional characters that hold no importance and will probably disappear within the next few chapters. This is not necessarily a flaw since the whole plot of the novel is centered around "kill, get fear, get stronger" so it would be quite troublesome to not only write but also read incredibly detailed descriptions of characters that only appear for half a chapter. I should also mention the absence of Webnovel's oh so loved Chinese nationalism. The Mc is not a genius but is definitely not dumb and thankfully hasn't made me lose any brain cells while reading, he is decisive about killing and actually takes joy in torturing his victims. While the system trope is present, it's at least not the usual Sign-In to become God but offers a somewhat balanced way of getting stronger without becoming too OP. Overall a really good novel and I have high hopes for it. Hope it gets picked.
