The Protagonist Grew Up in a Strange World, Then Entered the Human World as an Adult, Only To...
Are there any books where the protagonist grows up in a world of the supernatural, then enters the human world as an adult? Then a rules-based horror scenario or a horror game descends, and the protagonist gets dragged in but isn't scared at all, pulling off all kinds of unbelievable moves? I really want something like that!
Characters as Smart as Xi Chen and Zhao Yi
Are there any stories with a highly intelligent protagonist like Xi Chen or Zhao Yi, who is mentally unstable, not annoying, decisive and ruthless, treats men and women equally, and has no interest in women?

He makes up a set of rules for killing, but really just does whatever he feels like. Preferably, he has some emotional connection to the surrounding urban legends, without completely revealing where he stands.
Rule-Based Horror, Not Wish Fulfillment, with a Focus on Creative Ideas and Plot. Gu Yi Is a Masterpiece
For Rule Horror that's not a power fantasy, Gu Yi's is the only one worthy of god-tier status. Disagree? Come argue! No new books, and nothing below a 9.
Looking for Unusual Rule-Based Horror Stories
I'm looking for rule-based horror stories, not ones about national destiny, and not the kind where there's one person from each country. I want a group of people working together, like in a multiplayer instance. Any good recommendations? I'd rather the protagonist not steamroll everyone and every instance with a cheat they get from the start, like a talent, skill, or System. Mind games are much more exciting.
Looking for Novels Where the Male Lead Becomes a Ghost in a Horror Game (Not Cold-Blooded, Not a Saint)
Any Dark, Terrifying Books with a System from the Start?
The male lead ends up in an extremely dark world from the start! (Dark, starts right away, System, suspense, supernatural)

I'm tired of reading power-fantasy stories about superpowers.

This novel is very good, but please, readers, especially those like us, use your brains at least. Don't just read mindlessly; it's better to use your intelligence when reading.
I'm writing this review after reading fourteen chapters. Logically, the character development, the freshness of the plot, and the overall reading experience are all excellent; it's definitely worth the time to savor! The author has truly demonstrated profound knowledge and skill, writing with ease and confidence.
Wow, this novel is absolutely fantastic! I couldn't put it down! Every page captivated me, making me feel like I was right there in the story. The author's descriptions are so vivid; I could almost feel each character's emotions and actions. The plot is tight and gripping, every twist keeping me on the edge of my seat, eager to know what would happen next.
The overall plot is good, but many plot holes remain unexplained, making the later part, like the resort section, feel empty. Hopefully, these will be addressed gradually later. The main character's portrayal is well done, but the supporting characters, despite being portrayed as scheming, don't really demonstrate this except for Sheng Xuan.
It's pretty good, but the later chapters feature a lot of frequent encounters with ghost stories, which makes it feel like you've been trapped inside for 27 years and finally come out to see the country, only to be back inside in the next chapter. There's also a lot of intrigue and backstabbing, not in terms of the rules of the ghost stories, but rather too much scheming and manipulation. But overall, it's still quite good.
The protagonist has a wildly imaginative mind, the plot is unpredictable, and the protagonist always manages to do the unexpected, making it a very enjoyable infinite flow story.
Super good-looking, no system, not mindless, relies entirely on intelligence, the main character is adorable 😘, no romance, even better than what I usually see.
A good book; the author's writing is very skillful, and the world-building is also very well done.
I thought the book was pretty good, so why is the rating so low?
So far, apart from one female supporting character's mishap, everything else is pretty good, enough for a 5 out of 5 on Tomato.
