Initially, the novel starts of like a romance, horror game except MC knows the entire plot so he easily carries ML's team in completing the scenario. But at some point the horror aspect is completely forgotten and the novel focuses on MC pursuing ML. Which is fine until the introduction of demon kings, other worlds, system etc that was done very poorly. For the longest time, I believed the demon kings to be kings of different demon races (we know of the vampire demon king, and the demonic twins) but it's later revealed MC and another demon king are humans who had some cultivation system and can live to over 1000 years (not sure how human that is). And the system supposedly has the mission to train the players into super soldiers but this was briefly mentioned and forgotten. And eventually there's some huge stand-off between the demon kings and later the system which is really confusing but MC, ML and their team will naturally win in the end.

Now we'll get to some more details I liked about this novel! The 4 demon lords!! Basically the system got them to "participate" in the game world and they can't really fight back against it despite being that powerful. Some of them don't care (Hewlett, the sloth-like demon lord that I LOVE, I just think he’s neat!) and others like the twin demons (Hest and Moduna, lovely brats but they don’t appear much to my despair) and Clemens (kinda the antagonist) are sadistic/kinda cruel bastards so they take advantage of this shitty situation.

Basically each of them and Li Xi have their "worlds" that are separated into "smaller worlds" or "instances” for players to go through. Li Xi and Hewlett for example don't really care about their worlds, Hewlett literally sleeps away and Li Xi warns him to not waste away otherwise the system could devour him. Li Xi only gets interested in his worlds when he first notices Duan Zhen! He keeps on observing him and after some time, he decides to disguise himself as a little powerless human to get close to him! I think it's pretty cute since he even follows some "love guides" but it mostly doesn't work on Duan Zhen lol at most he thinks that he's like his younger brother but that's it. Li Xi lied about his age but that def backfires on him because later on Duan Zhen refuses to get with him because he thinks he's barely legal while Duan Zhen is well, older compared to him.

The first world was pretty tame, it just showed some basis (Duan Zhen and his team members Sun Le and Xia Qirong are so great! Xia Qirong is freaking funny and Sun Le is the silent type but has fun thoughts and he's probably the one with most logical braincells in the team, especially when it comes to love) and Li Xi joins them as a pyschic even though they actually have one (he's gonna play his role later on so he doesn't appear at first!!). The second world was a bit creepy cuz it was in a weird hospital, and then we meet "pain in the ass" Clemens. I LOVE HIM!! He's just so crazy and obsessed with Li Xi's blood AND eyes (i wouldn't say it's love or anything like that, he's just messed up, especially when you learn about Li Xi's eyes later on) and he thinks Duan Zhen is a waste of time for Li Xi; Of course our MC isn't happy with that at all and gets quite protective!!

Later on, they get into Hewlett's first world where only Duan Zhen and Li Xi find themselves in! Li Xi becomes a sexy merman and he tries to seduce Duan Zhen, it starts to work and we get to see our cool ML get quite flustered, which was cute imo!!! Li Xi acted a bit too crazy in this world and he literally used his demon lord powers, which is usually a no-no in other worlds reigned by another demon lord, but since Hewlett is lazy, he doesn't care. After this world, Li Xi gets attacked by Clemens but he leaves as Duan Zhen also comes.

We then meet the original psychic/hacker of the team, and Li Xi gets VERY interested in him as he's studying the system and is trying to find a solution to counter it. Duan Zhen gets a bit uncomfortable cuz Li Xi isn't looking for him as much as before and looks for Dan Zuo instead lol

In the next world, things start to change!! Li Xi gets his powers and memories sealed and he literally forgets about everything. Duan Zhen is pretty desperate to try to make him remember, and he even "sacrificies" himself to become his servant/butler. He learns later on that that world is based on Li Xi's memories as Senafel (his identity as a demon lord). He doesn't know if Li Xi is a demon Lord or not. And even like this, Li Xi still has a part of him that likes Duan Zhen, even if he doesn't know why. So basically they relive Li Xi's sad past (the backlore of his eyes/Senafel gets revealed and it's pretty sad considering his whole country got destroyed because of it). They still find a way to get out of the world without completing the original mission, and we learn that Hewlett is the one to have attacked Li Xi at the start of the world because he got a bit mad that Li Xi acted like he wanted in the previous mermaid world, but they’re still kinda buddies and there isn’t a real animosity between the two of them (compared to Li Xi’s dislike for Clemens lol).

And then Li Xi doesn't want to unseal his memories, so while he's a bit mean, he's getting interested again in Duan Zhen who's still desperately trying to get "his" Li Xi back (HE GETS SAD THAT LI XI ISN'T CLINGY ANYMORE!!) it's just so freaking cute lol

Anyways the romance wasn't really rushed from Duan Zhen's part. He's pretty pure lol at least until Li Xi started teasing him in the mermaid arc, he was gentle and not love-struck from the start, which I think is nice because it wouldn't be realistic with his temperament if he fell in love earlier!

The MC's entire past, history, family, social status, possible friendly connections and possible enemies are completley revealed after chapter 41 (start of 4th arc) and before chapter 58ish (end of 4th arc). This includes MC's actual full name, nobility status, story of how he became a Demon King, what he did after, what crimes he's committed, why he joined the system to make games, the fact that apparently he was actually blind from having his eyes gouged at and then replaced by Senafel, a gemstone, making him Senafel, the Demon King (which that part definitely could have a been a cooler reveal at least), etc etc. Most of it is just outright stated, since he felt fine with saying it because he was somehow so weak from getting a surprise attack that "wasn't that serious" (MC said it was no big) by Demon King no.2 (Clemens) in the third arc that he easily gets all of his memories of ML and onward locked away by Demon King no.3. As you know, Demon Kings are actually very, very weak and frail obviously. Same spoilers (all boxes) below, just felt too long together.

And also, tiny nitpick, Hewett (3rd Demon King, who is the controller of the world of the 4th arc and responsible for MC amnesia and world setting to be MC's past for explanation convenience) is just agressive towards MC for no reason as it was 100% him who amnesia'd MC? Not 1% Clemens (the actual earlier introduced slightly antagonistic character, a randomly vampiric Demon King who wanted blood and mu*der, especially wanting a bloody MC, and wanted to expose MC's identity to ML) ? Even though Hewett was asleep and had no issue in past world (3rd arc, mermaid world, Hewett controlled that one too) and also was MC's "friend", being that because he was friendly enough not to "stab MC in the back" as MC phrased? But isn't sealing his memories a stab in the back? He also said like it was for MC's own good or something because MC fell in love with a human? I guess it'll later be revealed he was in love with MC because why else would he have a reason for doing that, especially with MC thinking they aren't close at all? Unless, of course, the answer is plot convenience (Hewett just felt like it, he was bored, etc - or it will just never be explained or touched on which seems extremely likely for this author because it's not a huge plot hole, just a definitely existing one).

But then after that 4th arc ends, MC keeps his amnesia? Because he "doesn't care to unlock it", even though he "totally could since he's a super powerful Demon King, you know" (aka, plot convenience + also, I've been paraphrasing obviously). So the story entirely shifts from just not horror around ch 30 to everything outright being "revealed" (explained directly) to ML by chapter 50, and the rest of the story so far (I'm assuming for the end of it, I'm not interested in reading this different story) being MC having "lost" his memories and I guess, falling in love all over again with ML while acting cold, I guess tsundere (which is a character type I enjoy but not in this context!!), and only interacting with him until MC falls in love because of his interest in a side programmer character who's in ML's team because MC wants to kill the system (because the Demon Kings are actually kind of trapped by the system, btw, which was revealed chapter 50ish as well). Like I could see people being into that kind of story, "Oh, falling in love all over again from 0? So romantic~~~", or something, but that's 1. not me and more importantly, 2. not what was fking summarized/advertised!!! You're capable of writing a novel but you can't write a summary/hire someone to? To be real for a second, I know it's 60/89 chapters in and could just be a "plot twist" and maybe by chapter 70 he'll go back to normal but eh. Honestly I was really surprised to find there's only 80 chapters to this with how much random, important things have been shoved in that 4th arc around those 10-15 chapters near the 50th. You'd think we'd be closing up shop since numerically it's near the end but it weirdly seems like the story is only beginning? Have a feeling the ending may be rushed, but that's another reader's problem 👍.

how they adjusted back to Earth (even if it would've been only a brief mention).
