Looking for a Single Male Protagonist: No Heroine, No CP, No Romance, and No Flirting
The protagonist must be male. Any genre is fine, but most importantly, there must be no female lead, no pairings, no flirting, and no romance. Ideally, no younger sisters, aunts, or other female relatives either. And don't recommend any gay romance!!!! (And please check out Xiaohongshu at the end.)

This kind of book, with its decisive and ruthless approach, is a real pleasure to read. Unlike some books that are timid and hesitant, where someone could clearly kill but hesitates to spare the others.
Judging solely by quality, it's better than many books in the top 500 of the monthly charts.
So satisfying! This was so enjoyable to watch! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍 I felt really good when I saw the 50-card dungeon where I could kill the Chen family, but then I was frustrated to see that the dungeon would suppress my strength. It was very frustrating and made me feel uncomfortable. There were also some other minor issues.
It's quite good. It doesn't have any of that messy stuff like national fortune broadcasts, and the protagonist is decisive and ruthless. Not bad.
It's quite well-written, at least so far. The logic is clear, and there aren't many flaws. It started getting a bit bizarre in the middle. The protagonist inexplicably sacrificed his strength to protect humanity, making it seem like he had a personality change.
It's a very good read. It's a story without a female lead. The protagonist isn't completely inhuman, but he's ruthless nonetheless. The early parts were well-written, but the ending was too fast-paced. I thought it would unfold step by step like before, but Dean Chen revealed everything all at once, though at least it was complete.
I've read up to volume three and think it's quite well-written. The male protagonist is a ruthless person; although cold, he's not emotionally disturbed. At least he still has human emotions in ordinary times. Thinking about his experiences, it's understandable. When I read the first game instance, it was nighttime, and it scared me to death! Later, it was okay.
Nice! This is arguably the best-developed and most terrifying protagonist I've ever read in any supernatural or horror novel. I'm so curious about the protagonist's original world and how they became so absolutely rational. To be honest, from what I've seen so far, every choice the protagonist makes is logical and well-founded; they're clearly smarter than me, which is quite satisfying.
I've finished the first volume, so here's my review: The male lead is truly decisive and ruthless, never dragging things out, and he settles his scores on the spot. There's no glamorous mother, no alluring sister, no fragile younger sister, no female lead, and family members are all just background characters. It's a good read.
Well, the book is quite well-written, although some parts are a bit stiff. The protagonist's character is very well portrayed; throughout the ghost story world, he maintains a dark, cold, and selfish personality—anyone who gets in his way is dead. But in the end, when almost no one threatens him anymore, a last shred of humanity remains. I still recommend reading it.
