Summary

In the suffocating atmosphere of high school, senior student Li Mingfan endures humiliation from his homeroom teacher and bullying from delinquents, while his crush on a girl named Tao Xiangning fails to give him the courage to act. Once in college, he loses himself in online novels and drifts through each day in a stupor. Then a mysterious girl with a captivating fragrance suddenly appears by his side, rejecting his advances with icy indifference. Soon after, Li Mingfan is drawn into an extraordinary world and gains the Memory Palace—an ability that transforms the memories of the dead into his own experience. Amid an otherworldly realm woven together by Mingfei, Takigawa, Gu Liyin, and others, he embarks on adventures involving battles, casino cheating, and capture-the-flag tournaments, growing step by step along the way.

Editor's review

The book opens with an oppressive campus diary and shifts into urban-transmigration otherworld adventure; the Memory Palace premise is fairly original, and its twists and smart protagonists are the main selling points. The style is light and comedic, with vivid dialogue, but the realistic, suffocating opening clashes somewhat abruptly with the later power-fantasy tone, and early chapters show signs of padding for votes. Suited to readers who enjoy transmigration leveling stories.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who enjoy urban transmigration and otherworld leveling stories
Readers who like light comedy and character banter
Readers interested in Memory Palace-type cheat abilities

Not a good fit for

Readers who dislike an oppressive, realistic campus opening
Readers who prefer rigorous worldbuilding and hardcore settings

Reading tips

Read the prologue first to get the realistic tone, then move into the transmigration section in Chapter 1
Pay attention to the rules of the Memory Palace ability to understand the protagonist's growth logic
Skim vote-padding chapters and focus on the main battles and twists
