Rule-Based Horror Stories Where the Characters Don't Become Idiots
I’ve read lots of rule-based horror stories and noticed that most of them make some side characters ridiculously stupid. Are there any rule-based game stories where the enemies are genuinely formidable and the protagonist is just as capable, or maybe something really brainy? The protagonist must not be made stupid either!
Looking for an Extremely High-IQ Novel That Shows the Characters' Reasoning
It can be workplace scheming or a suspenseful escape, but it must feature exceptionally high intelligence or cunning human nature.
Authors Nowadays Can't Write Unless There's Showing Off and Face-Slapping, or Someone Getting Mocked
Please, no brain-dead protagonists. I just want someone normal with at least a little common sense.
Can't We Get a Proper Rules Horror Story? The Protagonist Needs to Have a Brain!!!!
Rules-based horror stories, but can the protagonist please have a brain?!!! Don't make them rely purely on a golden finger. If you like power fantasies, that's fine, but please don't recommend them here unless they actually fit!

Stories Where Everyone Misinterprets the Protagonist Seem to Be Thriving Lately

Looking for a Strong, Straight Male Protagonist Who's a Heartthrob, Not a Seducer or a Babyish Type
Just a straightforward guy, no romance, but everyone likes him. I want a tough guy who's oblivious to romance. He can be cheerful or cold, either is fine.
Any Novels with a Protagonist Who Has a Cognitive Disorder?
Looking for books like "I'm the Only One in the World Who Can't See the Supernatural (Anomalies Reset to Zero)". It could involve SAN levels: the world looks terrifying and twisted to everyone else, but perfectly normal and beautiful to the protagonist.

Looking for books like "My Strength Comes Entirely from My Enemies' Imaginations." I want a protagonist who's just an ordinary person or a newbie, but whom everyone else imagines to be a big shot.

That's amazing, a masterpiece! I've read quite a few novels of this genre, but this one is the only one I truly enjoyed. The others either feel problematic after just a short while or are too similar to other works. The updates are just too slow; even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like that.
A beautifully written Dihua-style story. While the author's writing style is slightly immature and some plot points feel a bit forced, the book is incredibly creative. The protagonist can see others as animals, and these animals directly reflect the person's true nature. It's somewhat similar to the "genius on the left, madman on the right" trope. Overall, it's worth reading.
It's good. At first, I thought it was an invincible story where people cheat and gain advantages by observing other people's forms, but it actually has a plot and some mind-bending and funny parts. By the way, I suggest skipping the first dungeon if you don't like it. However, the first storyline does involve some of the protagonist's character development.
This is a book whose writing style shouldn't appear in Tomato's works, because it's painful not to spoil it. But trust me and trust your own judgment. If you come across this book, click on it and you'll instantly feel a joy from the bottom of your soul. Isn't that what we bookworms are after? So what are you waiting for? Click on it and take a look.
I recommend reading this if you're looking for something to read, and it's currently unromantic. The male lead's personality feels real, not like a heartless plot device. The comedic parts are also good. The only downside is the word count is too low. Author, how dare you take a break? [Smirk][smirk]
It's very good, but a bit mind-bending; I was confused in many parts. Also, some of the story chapters felt incredibly long, especially the one with the author. I initially came for the Dihua theme, but ended up being drawn in by the plot 🤦🤦 While there are Dihua elements, they're not the main focus of the novel. The author clearly put a lot of thought into the script design.
Thriller: I just wanted a free egg from the start. Chu Kuangyin's Work I added this book to my bookshelf a long time ago and read it for a long time back then, but eventually put it aside. Now I picked it up again, read it for a while, and then gave up again.
The 4-star anti-tomato reviewer thinks I'm faking positive reviews, so I manually clicked the fifth star. Author, why haven't you updated these past two days? It's scared me so much I'm considering letting the book sit unfinished. It's really good, please update! Even a little bit will do, please don't cancel it! ( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू )

I watched it all in one go! The only downside was that the transitions between scenes and characters were a bit disjointed sometimes. If I organize it, I'm sure more people will watch it! 👍🤤
