Fourteen rows sit in 作品相关 and 主要人物评述. Twenty-two later rows also begin with 第一章. The door stays in 第一卷. The door is 第一章 血拼, in 第一卷.

The newest button is not the door

Who should start here
Try it if a search for Starting from Zero or 从零开始 sent you and the newest packing chapter is not the novel. Nearby doors: The Pillar of Ita and The King’s Avatar.
Leave it if you want a newcomer’s first chance at training, checked scene by scene. That door is the RMJI opening guide. The shelf is the Starting from Zero reading series. The index is where to start.
