There is no 作品相关 shelf. The story volume is 正文卷 and opens on 第一章 斗虫少年. The next row is 第二章 超自然. That copy ends on 第六十四章 公共BOSS. 无限城篇 continues at 第六十五章 他是路人甲！. 番外篇 opens on 番外（1）：新的旅程. The newest slot is 番外（14）：时雨. 510 rows. 218.06万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 完本, updated 2024-06-20, category 都市·异术超能. A cricket-fight boy is chapter 1. The extra named 时雨 is a curtain call, not a prologue.
