I'm generally not a huge fan of Infinite Flow novels. There are only a handful I've managed to stick with until the latest chapters, and this ended up being one of them.
I really like the world-building here. From the concept of Anomalous Infection to the different professions, factions, and the instances themselves, everything feels well thought out instead of existing just to move the plot from one dungeon to the next.
I also appreciate that the NPCs aren't just disposable plot devices. Quite a few of them genuinely contribute to the story, and some even end up being far more memorable than expected instead of falling into cliché roles. And I had way more fun reading the in-game forum posts than I expected. 😂
