I love how the MC just lets the devil play with his hair and lets him approach as if it’s only natural. How the devil despite wanting to be an enemy always got the MCs back.

I absolutely adore the judgment instance‘ little devil being do attached to zhong jiu. That was such a sweet hint to the love of the devil to our MC. I love how at that time they portrayed his feelings in a rather subconscious way. Like it’s just instinctive. It was so sweet that throughout the rest of the novel he still kept the rabbit plush.

When he stayed for a year in the last battle and gave up his life for his love to decide. He didn’t even know if the magician loved him that much. The way he called MC after they slept together. I just love how sweet he became especially as someone who is so cruel to others.

I think the devil is a bit too strong. The MC never reached his level and I like a balanced fight more in this context.

All bed scenes were kinda weirdly written like it has gone through censorship but kinda didn’t? It just disrupted the flow a bit.

I don’t quite understand why the MC with his personality is so incredibly invested in magic. He clearly wants something more thrilling. The novel depicts still depicted him as emotionless towards the end is kinda wrong. He did begin to care about his people. And his transmigration never got explained so it could’ve been left out.

It is noted that he has antisocial behaviour tendencies, very cold/indifferent to people, and even he is sadistic in his own actions. However the key underlying factor that makes him and the instructor (ml) different is the fact he is still a responsible man. He will not break a promise he makes just as he does with class 9 in the school arc

I legit screamed a little inside when ML kissed MC for the first time lol

I like how he turned caring to others after the school instance when he was greatly moved by the actions of his Class 9 classmates

'Thriller Trainee' is the novel in MC's world which he didn't finish as he stopped reading at the moment when character with the similar name as him died so what he knew was just the very start of the novel. Then he transmigrates into said character (ogMC) with the same name and some appearance resemblance. Infinite Loop world already had his contenders and they lived in the loop for many years and then system decided to hold "Thriller Trainee" special event (I call it 'event' so it would be more understandable). Contenders signed up for 'event' for rewards and grand prize, but our MC comes with a batch of newbies fresh from the (novel's) real world straight into this 'event' for numbers. People who watch live streams are contenders who didn't sign up for 'Thriller Trainee event', they still live in Infinite Loop. Audience just don't share space with trainees and obviously can't communicate with them.

he casually just predicts everything and who ML is controlling at the moment. Additionally, he gets power-ups often, like an OP weapon or prop.

First kiss being around ch170,

The MC is Zong Jiu and the ML is No. 1 otherwise known as the Devil or maybe Mephistopheles (if you read until the end with MTL you would understand the Mephistopheles reference)

Before he 'wore the book' he was in a car accident and couldn't be a magician anymore since he used his hands to do magic. He's also pretty apathetic and he had this nun who raised him. The nun knew he was apathetic and told him something like to use other people's expectations because he couldn't tell right from wrong (sorry if this is wrong). So the MC and ML are mostly the same except MC put restrictions on himself to not go crazy and unrestrained like ML. Oh, and since MC was pretty apathetic, he liked doing things that excited him, like how the ML likes things that excites him. Oh, and MC did get his hands fixed and after that it was the Las Vegas Arc so he was really good at cheating at the card games.

Omg I love Xu Sen and Xu Su. I'm glad they got their happy ending. I'm still wondering about the clown and mad hatter because the Mad Hatter called the Clown cute in one of the extras, but they're just good friends I suppose.

I'm not too sure because I did MTL. But did you know that the system actually places you where it thinks you belong so the top S-ranks were actually a bit confused on how the Magician leveled up so fast because the system would usually put the best people in the higher spots before but the system already placed the Magician in E-rank before Zong Jiu (our MC) woke up as Zong Jiu (og book character)

even though some were controlled. poor Messiah and them. Especially the black robed one (?) because he was controlled to stand behind the magician when No.1 was flirting with him.

It's a happy ending. You could stop reading at the end before the extras and it would still be a happy ending, but not absolute. So I suggest reading the extras for more of their relationship

A lot happened in this arc, like a vampire dying without anyone knowing and then the bathroom. The instance took place in an insane asylum. The nurses gave pills to all of the trainees. Some experienced people didn't swallow the pills. The magician didn't swallow the pill either, as he is a magician, he used magic to make it seem like he swallowed it but he didn't even put it in his mouth. It was also in this instance Zong Jiu (MC) met a person (he isn't important because he was being controlled by No.1 and then later died in this first instance; he was also one of the mole roles). The trainee instructor (No.1) was playing as an NPC In this instance and he was the doctor I believe. Later, Zong Jiu (MC), was invited in to get inspected. Before the inspection, the players were invited to go watch the scene personally where the doctor cured (?) some person where they found some clue to an S-rank prop. Then No.1 told MC about some S-ranked prop that used to belong in some box. The trainees were outside when the doctor (No.1 but no one knew it at the time) told the clue to Zong Jiu so the other trainees wanted to share the clue. MC said no (obv) and so the trainees wanted to kick him out, but not Messiah (fake self). The MC still left the group with that unimportant mole following him. He then went to the basement where there were more extra steps than before (weird...). Anyways a lot happened in this arc. I remember at the end of it and the funniest part is where our MC goes back to get his revenge from when the doctor "examined" him and hit him in the head with the hammer. That is also why he was given an F rating from the instructor (he's so petty).

LAS VEGAS!!! Perfect for magician. This man traded his soul to get some coins to play with!!! The rules basically said you can cheat as long as you don't get caught. I remember this dude, MC, went and cheated when playing with the S ranks and No.1 also cheated, but he withdrew first before they revealed the rest of everyone's cards because MC's cards were revealed before anyone else. Before that, I remembered MC literally opened someone's throat with his cards!! Good times, good times. The system only deducted some of the points because he only injured him, not killed him.

Third arc, Famine Mountain Village. The villagers were cannibals. There was a woman who ascended into immortality whom the villagers killed. There was another old lady (Grandma Yin) who basically instigated it all. The woman (who ascended into immortality) was told by her bodhisattva she didn't need to eat food as long as she ate the bodhisattva soil filled with yin to counteract the yang attribute of the Sacred Herb (an herb the woman ate which was given to her by her bodhisattva). After her eating the herb, she started giving a ton of her food to the villagers which they were thankful for, but they got greedy. They wanted to know where she was getting all this food from, only to realize that she had been eating dirt. The villagers were still hungry and greedy so they started following her, they started eating HER dirt, the dirt SHE grew. They were so rude and ungrateful!!! They soon started falling sick and dying, getting bloated and filled with dirt. The villagers thought she was playing tricks and wanted to know the actual secret so they locked her in a wooden house. Leaving her to rot for several days. She was still alive (I think) when they got to her. She had dug a ton of scratches in the walls to eat the wood because she was being starved in there. When the villagers finally opened the locked door, they grabbed her and opened her skull, pouring mercury in to kill her. Then they skinned her and ate her. As I said, this was all led by Grandma Yin. Anyways back to MC, MC was exploring a building and some dude from Las Vegas who had a grudge against him was following him. The dude with the grudge had some talisman that attracted ghosts and wanted to use it on MC because the trainees weren't allowed to kill each other (he basically wanted to kill MC with a borrowed knife). Luckily and sadly, it did not work. Reason? The MC knew he was coming and then the talisman fell out his hand. By time the dude realized it fell out his hand, the ghost was already in the hallway going for them. The dude died, but luckily, MC actually had the mole role this time so he had 3 immunes for the ghost. Pretty sure this is where the barrage (audience watching) learned that MC was the only mole in this instance. There was also a moment where No.1's puppet put a string on Anthony (right hand man of Van Zhou; aka vampire lord). Too bad MC is from another world and I think he pulled the string that was slightly controlling Anthony. Did you know that Zhuge literally knew Zong Jiu (MC) was the mole? Like right after killing this dude, Zhuge was like "are you ready to go?" and MC was shook. Anywho, as the mole this dude was literally blamed for one of the hanging corpses which I laughed at. Also they failed the mission, both sides, so they had one more chance. The task for the non-mole role was to keep the villagers alive. The task for the mole (our MC) was to find the perfect corpse. Then some stuff happened blah blah between them getting in the village and not. So afterwards, this dude (MC) accidentally with the Grandma Yin (bad lady) into the ghost realm to find the soul of the immortal lady to ask questions (because no one knew the lady actually ascended into immortality because the villagers were lying about how she hung herself). Then Grandma Yin sold MC to the ghost realm!! literally laughing at that, and MC didn't know. So MC literally bribed this guard with ghost banknotes (hard to get because the living have to burn them to send it to you and the workers supposedly don't earn that much). MC had stacks of banknotes ad even got the guard to hire guards for MC to travel and get revenge on granny. Granny was actually slightly being controlled by the instructor (No.1) and was just roaming around. She wasn't getting attacked because she had some lantern that didn't allow the ghosts to attack her or get too close. MC had something like that but it was a bell that was spiritual and it mimicked the dead? Not too sure, but it kept the ghosts from attacking him when he rung it. Anywho, with the guards that one guard hired for MC, they went to the granny and stopped her. The granny stopped and put the lantern down because she knew she couldn't start anything with the ghost officials, and that's when MC took her lantern and she was shook. She was mad too, but then MC kicked her off the bridge into the river of souls, Hilarious!! Yeah... so he got an F ranking rate from the system because of the dead NPC, but hey cmon! He got an S ranking rate from the instructor. OH! And there was only one villager actually alive, the rest were all demons because they ate the pure natural yang contaminated soil which birthed demons in them. The only living villager was the little kid of one of the men. I felt caring parent vibes when MC helped save the kid. Anyways, the perfect corpse for MC was Grandma Yin's corpse, but everyone put her corpse in the coffin already!! Because when they were in the ghost realm, everyone thought the magician and grandma died (only the grandma died). Anyways, the coffin lid was way too heavy. Oh! And the immortal ascended lady also appeared because of how much soil those villagers ate and had came to take away the properties of the soil (the Yang). Since the coffin lid was heavy, MC was struggling and then the next second he was pulled in. SO now it's him in the dark coffin with No.1 (No.1 pulled him into his darkness and I don't know where grandma went). MC was like, you wanna play this game? and then proceeded to burn the coffin with both of them in it because one way or another they were going to die together or never. No.1 let him go when the flames almost consumed them. Then out rose our MC from the burnt coffin with also completing his task and No.1 was already gone out of sight.

The King's Game, when those two best friends were chosen to touch the ground first and they would live. So they literally devised this entire plan so they can touch the ground at the same time so they both can live. That was literally the highlight. There was also a part with Xu Sen literally took his rib out instead of taking Xu Su's when Xu Su offered. Happily, Messiah healed Xu Sen. The other dude facing off against Xu Sen was too slow and died. Also a part where MC had to get what was given away by him which was only one thing (The rose No.1 gave him at Las Vegas). MC snuck into No.1's room and ruined all of his suits.

First Highschool arc was so nice and uhm. Luckily in the end and the extras, Class 9 came back (very briefly). MC was in class 9. Index 15 and Index 99 was probably the saddest. Index 15 triggered Index 99's sacrifice. And MC literally promised to take them all out of that instance, and he never breaks his promises but he didn't mean to. Index 15 became faceless; faceless people are super smart but emotionless and basically not human anymore. Index 99 was su*cide. Index 99 had jumped off the building before the grades were calculated. So the teachers had to recalculate the grades without Index 99. Index 99 and Index 98 were literal friends : (. The lower index you are in a class, the less grade you make (they were less smarter than others ig). With Index 99's death, the class had enough points to make it through the exam. There was also another class who was killed because they were bullying some people to become faceless to boost the entire class. So the bullied turned in empty papers so they could all die together and they did die. Class 9 and maybe Class 1 I think were the only classes not to bully people into becoming faceless. Anywho, I LOVED THE DESTRUCTION OF THE INSTANCE!! THEY SET FIRE TO IT, BURN BABY BURNNNNN!!!!!! Then Index 15, still faceless, sacrificed himself, ignoring the calls of class 9 to come back, killed the rest of the faceless in the fire. Oh, And No.1 was a foreign teacher in this instance. Pretty sure this instance was where they fought in the hallway and then MC was forced in a small space with No.1 to hide.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! TODAY WE INTRODUCE THE CLOWN! THE MAD HATTER! THE MAGICIAN! AND BEST OF ALL, SNOW WHITE!!!! The magician was literally chased by No.1 who was controlling the ghost king. But can I mention the team the Magician had? bro had his team equipped with roller skates and skateboards!!! Those would be so fun!! I want to join them when they are skating away from the ghosts!!!! All the ghosts had a fixed hunting radius whereas the ghost king had free reign. MC was chased into a mirror maze by No.1 and then No.1 caught him in his black wispy robe and then I think No.1 "attacked" his neck? I know there was a point somewhere after MC had to wear a scarf...I loved The Mad Hatter's and the Clown's help given to the magician.

Judgement day... The old instance where No.1 belonged. The first one he destroyed. I loved the 6-year old No.1, he was so cute. He even called Zong Jiu (MC) gege. Little cutie was tainted by the world. He hated storms, and was scared of the dark. He was also not scared of fire. He was the original savior (maybe) in the prophecy. Until those people tried to forcefully make them the savior (I suppose forcefully). He was the body of the original savior, but in the end became the devil. Those people shouldn't have done that. The kid didn't have the purification ability, he had the transfer ability. So everyone's sins, he would transfer to himself...I loved when MC said No.1 could always come to him and remind him to light the candle because the nuns forgot to light the candle at night for the 6-year old. : ( (poor baby. But he is no longer a baby and he was given help too late. May as well read the arc.

Masquerade... Uhm...I think the devil got a little "devilish" in this arc.. haha.. MC denied him though with his own rose. LMAOOO THE ONMYOJI WAS LITERALLY CROSS DRESSING AND WAS PLAYING IT OFF SO PERFECTLY AND ZHUGE WAS DRESSED AS SOME PANDA MASCOT AND THEN ONMYOJI LOST THE BET TO THE EXORCIST AND THEN SUFFERED SOCIAL DEATH BECAUSE HE TOOK OUT A BLUE TALISMAN WHICH EVERYONE SAW AND THEN KNEW WHO THE CROSS DRESSER WAS. Oh, and the MC dressed up as No.1 in this event and No.1 dressed the same. And then all of No.1's fans got it wrong and thought Zong Jiu was the real devil. FUNNY

Crazy circus... ehhhh.... not my fav... The roles between animals and humans were switched. this was an instance that had cut off contact with the main system. And because of the instructor's request (No.1) the main system gave the sub system to the two who were accidentally summoned to this separate instance (MC and the onmyoji). (Sorry if he's actually not an onmyoji, that's what MTL gave me). So the two only had 3 days to find a way to connect back to the main system. There were cultists who were survivors of 20 years ago and wanted to summon a god to leave so they summoned sacrifices (the MC and onmyoji). Then the cultists summoned the wrong evil god... again. How do you mess up twice? The Onmyoji already escaped through the key that No.1 gave to MC for only MC to use. It literally lead to a big cage with a mattress in it... suspicious. MC had fallen into a manic mess and thought himself to be part of Cthulhu. And then proceeded to convince Cthulhu, he was apart of them. laughing. The cult leader tried sacrificing MC to the evil god, but MC was like reverse card uno and the cult leader died. Then MC was fought over by the evil god and No.1

Why is there a punishment copy? Bro, the system is so mean. Just because this dude (MC) accidentally go the curse mark of the evil god... The curse of the evil god made MC look on a godly beauty level and literally everyone lusted after him (not a good thing). MC was a hired actor supposed to play on this haunted set with these other actors. Then the ghosts took over and wanted them to finish the script. Then the MC went to the bathroom per script and met with No.1 and No.1 and them did a little "devilish" because the evil god was the god of fertility and stuff and so... to get rid of the curse mark, something "devilish" had to happen. Then later in this arc, they did do some more "devilish" and I think No.1 destroyed this instance? Yes? No? I don't know... I just know they never finished the plot

Final Battle? Nah, more like more "devilish". The Faust was when it was a 1v1 instance and the magician lost his memory as per the requirements. The MC had to retrieve his memory if he wanted to win the instance, but the Devil beat him. RAGEEEEEEEEEEE my mind is not comprehending, please just read this short arc. Yes, there is "devilish" in it.

YES AFTER THE END!! they got married //0~0// and MC didn't even know at the time. everyone was shocked. Zhuge was the witness to their marriage. Zhuge will always be the number 1 scammer in this story. Xu Sen and Xu Su end up together. We see Clown and Mad Hatter and friends in this arc. Please just read this short arc, I know I'm writing this but I am writing this very unwillingly because my mind won't stop saying what if I forget and other things. Going crazy bro..

Did you know that Zhuge An was actually Gui Guzi!?? They aren't even alive fully!! They are so close to death and they only lived because they wrote their name on something.. Something for immortals maybe? I forgot... but he says it somewhere before the Faust arc
