Hit Me with Quality Secret-Identity Roleplay Stories! The Kind with a Super-Mysterious Organization
The protagonist can be male or female, but there must absolutely be no CP. The more secret identities they have, with completely different personalities, the better. The main point is that they must be insanely powerful!!! If it is good enough, it does not have to involve an organization either~

Are There Any Books With a Protagonist Who Is a Deity? A God From the Start, Nothing Else!!
Are there stories where the protagonist is a god? They should be a god from the start, not someone who gradually becomes one. I want a god with an air of detachment, before whom all beings are equal. For example, in their eyes, people and ants, or anything else, are all the same, with no distinction of status or worth.

It's well-written, with humor and behind-the-scenes details. The only slight drawback is that the main character's henchmen don't have enough large-scale battle scenes! Also, there aren't many chapters yet, and updates are a bit slow. I hope the author can update more frequently and quickly.

I've finished reading the latest chapters and found them very good. They're worth looking forward to, and the logic feels quite smooth. It fits the description of a behind-the-scenes story; the protagonist only showed a few sides at the beginning when he was weak, and afterwards he always operated under a different identity.
This book is indeed good and enjoyable. The author mentioned in their epilogue that the beginning wasn't great, but actually, that's where I liked the plot the most. In the first two chapters, the author brought out the unique charm of each character. By the third chapter, perhaps due to reader feedback, the author seemed to change their style.
I stayed up all night to finish the Japan arc and here's my rating. I initially just started reading out of boredom, and the first few chapters almost made me give up. But the more I read, the more I was impressed. The ambiguous atmosphere between the good and evil among the protagonists and antagonists was depicted with remarkable subtlety.
So far, this book is quite good. The author has handled it well. The protagonist is neither an absolute good guy nor an absolute villain. He has a bottom line in his actions, and his thinking is very clear. Not bad at all.
Let's start with the drawbacks: The first issue is game theory; many game theory scenarios are written too superficially, making the protagonist and his subordinates seem rather unintelligent. The second naming issue is that many names, including those of the core members and those of the behind-the-scenes local names, are inconsistent.
There are still 40 chapters left to read; you can stop here. To sum it up, there's a chance to get into the divine book, but unfortunately the second half felt rushed. The story begins with the protagonist gaining divine power and then creating various characters and storylines on a map of Japan. It's incredibly addictive! I basically watched it all in one go – it was so satisfying!
It's a pretty good ensemble piece. So far, I think it's more like an ensemble piece than a behind-the-scenes story. Even the villains in it have their own stories and are flesh and blood. The righteous faction is indeed depicted much like a traditional righteous faction, growing stronger through repeated dangers.
