Invincible Protagonist, Invincible from the Start, Like Saitama
When I make even the slightest effort, I'm already at the limit of this rank. Remember? I'll say it again: back then, I strolled around with my hands in my pockets, not knowing what it meant to have a rival.

Looking for books similar to I Created the Monster Sequence! Behind-the-scenes stories where the protagonist explores supernatural powers, creates monsters and ability users, and seeks the path to godhood. Or other behind-the-scenes stories where the protagonist’s power comes from something like the Game of Divine Gifts...
Cthulhu Stories That Drive You Mad
The protagonist never shows mercy. Pretty girls and all, one slash each. They're barely human, in appearance or in spirit, and look so repulsive they could make you puke.
Looking for a Protagonist With the Power of “I Reckon” and Other Idealistic Powers
Looking for books similar to "A Motherland Hero, but With an Official Job". I thought it through and made it happen: something like a Motherland Hero, but with an official job.

Five stars. Actually, this kind of subject matter and writing style is more suitable for published works; it definitely wouldn't work for online novels—they wouldn't be long enough. The story of Earl Rat seems to be a combination of several different stories.
Each of the seven deadly sins corresponds to one of the following: a hundred dollars corresponds to greed, a girl to gluttony, lovers to envy, parasitism to sloth, lewdness to lust, hypocrisy to pride, and a foreign land to wrath (?). "Foreign land" is a bit of a stretch, but that's all that's left.
I don't know if it's because of Tomato or the author, but this book is actually unfinished.
I am the supreme god who rules over all things, I am the creator who nourishes all flesh and blood; I give you life as sustenance, time as affection, and the world as your dwelling place. You who step into my forbidden land, are you human? No, I am the lord of nothingness!
Overall, this book is mildly scary, making it friendly to newcomers to horror. It also contains satire of reality. I recommend it.
The story is very interesting and doesn't fall into the clichés of typical Chinese online novels. The story style is varied, and each aspect has its merits. Personally, I think it's more fitting to portray the Necronomicon as a projection of Yggdrasil than Azathoth.
This book is simply amazing! I honestly can't bring myself to comment on every single word. The descriptions of humans and animals, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, are truly excellent, especially the chapter on the Earl of Shu. I just wish it could reveal a bit more about the dark magic within the Necronomicon. What I love most is the inclusion of some Cthulhu elements. Congratulations on the book's return to the world!
To be continued... The last two stories are rather ordinary, and relatively long. The last chapter is just a beginning, and then it ends.
A novel suitable for after-dinner reading; quite enjoyable to read.
A short horror story, not bad.
