Looking for Horror Stories Where the Weak Protagonist Is Mistaken for a Big Shot by the Audience and Their Rivals
Please, I'm begging you: no stories with heroines who are completely lovesick.
Stories Where Everyone Misinterprets the Protagonist Seem to Be Thriving Lately
Looking for books like "Infinite Escape: The Cannon Fodder Reinvents Herself as a Gorgeous, Powerful Tragic Heroine". Romance or no romance is fine, and either male-oriented or female-oriented novels are fine.
I Want the Story Told From the Protagonist’s Perspective, but Everyone Else Sees Them as Pitiful
I'd prefer an all-pairings focus, but it's okay if not. Fanfiction or original stories are both fine. Please, everyone!
Male-Oriented Fiction with No Romance! No Romance! Don’t Recommend It Otherwise!
Don't suddenly give me a love interest halfway through and then claim there's no female lead. I hate random romance subplots 🙃
Saving, Loading, and Rewinding
I want books involving unlimited save-and-reload, infinite saves, endless rewinds, rewinding to a set point, timed rewinds, periodic rewinds, rewinding whenever you want; time, space, spacetime, history, all things, ancient times, the Republican era, modern times, the future, the paranormal, every type and genre. Must be a certain length.
Looking for Stories with a Dee Hua-Style Misunderstanding, Where the Protagonist Isn't Just a Tool for Moving the Plot Along
I want to read something like Survival by Reloading: I'm Really Not a Big Shot. Honestly, I'm getting brain rot from all these stories where everyone misinterprets the protagonist. I want a protagonist who shows off, but ends up frustrating themselves to death. I don't want someone who relies entirely on a golden finger and has everything go smoothly. I want...
Weird! Weird!! The Weirder, the Better!!!
Male-Oriented Fiction on Women’s Bookshelves
After reading so many novels, I'm starting to find them boring. On a whim, I went digging around the male-oriented section and actually found a few good ones.
The Protagonist Is Mistaken for a Genius, but It's All Down to Luck
Live-Streaming Stories With Death Rewinds! Who Gets That Thrill of Dying and Reloading?
Looking for stories like "Save-Scumming to Survive: I'm Really Not a Big Shot." A livestream survival novel where the protagonist treats horror dungeons like a single-player game and reloads the save after dying. Please recommend something similar. I'm really out of books to read!
Stories About a Powerful Big Shot Who Gets Mistaken for Being Even More Impressive, Like Mr. 39
I want to read something similar to The Cannon Fodder Starts Off as a Mess and Turns into a Gorgeous, Powerful Badass [Infinite]. Two male leads, both powerful, with a delusional interpretation trope, more romance, dungeon arcs, and a logical plot.
I'm in a Serious Reading Slump. Please, I Need a Story Where Everyone Jumps to Wild Conclusions About the Protagonist! Throw One at Me, Now! 😭
Looking for books similar to "Infinite Flow: I Became a God After Giving Up". I'm seriously out of things to read.

Hit me with those overinterpretation stories, now 😭
The Protagonist Is Terrible, but Everyone Else Thinks He’s a Master
Preferably an escape-room or horror story.

Misunderstandings, Fake Angst, and Delusions of Grandeur
Looking for books like "My Strength Depends Entirely on What My Enemies Imagine". The fun is in everyone mistakenly thinking the protagonist is miserable, powerful, wonderful, and so on. Fake coercion stories are similar, too.

Looking for books like "Infinite Escape: The Cannon Fodder Reinvents Herself as a Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Heroine". Are there any stories like those by 39 Xiansheng? I'm hooked and can't find any. It's driving me crazy. I've already read the similar tomb-raiding one.

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.)

It's great! Although the first dungeon is a bit similar to that book, it's completely different from the second dungeon onwards, and the core is also different. Don't give up after just reading the first dungeon! The core of this book is excellent, and the stories that unfold after each chapter are heartwarming. The protagonist is intelligent and capable. Highly recommended!
It's alright, but the main character and the overall atmosphere felt too oppressive. I felt quite heavy-hearted after reading it, though not to an extreme degree. Every time I finish one, I need to read something else to calm myself down. Overall, it's okay. The dungeon difficulty feels too high. It's like they just teleport people in and it's pure torture.
If you enjoy this type of story, there's another one called (Rollback Survival: I'm Really Not a Pro).
"Survival Through Rewind: I'm Really Not a God": A dark epic that tears fate apart in a cycle of reincarnation! This book uses the concept of "death rewind" as its core, constructing an infinite world filled with philosophical reflections and poignant heroism.
The action scenes described by the author are really realistic, not the kind of timid and imagined scenario. Fan Ge is already very strong! Add a death rollback to make sense of the bizarre logic of the dungeon, and you can clear it perfectly!! (But can't you give our brother some reward? This isn't Earth, and he has no home to return to. He can't enjoy being stuck in the pure white space, and there's no reward for clearing the dungeon. So please stop playing the savior role. 🍉)
The overall structure and profound framework of the story are quite large, but the writing style is well integrated with this framework. The writing style may be similar to vernacular Chinese, but it is more touching. Each instance has a cause and effect, and the protagonist is not completely invincible. Moreover, each instance has a central emotion that extends outward, which I really like.
Survival by Rewind: I'm really not a pro! Sandwich cookies The first story showed heavy borrowing from other works, but the subsequent ones introduced fresh elements. In terms of plot, the fast pace is both tense and simple, the emotions are rich, and it's easy to read. However, it lacks a bit of lingering aftertaste.
It's not a traditional dungeon survival game, but a kind of redemption ghost adventure game where the dungeons are rooted in the evil of reality. The content still lacks originality; it's not complex or intellectually stimulating at all. Hopefully, they'll keep improving.
The ending felt a bit rushed, but it's still a very good book. You can clearly see the protagonist's changing mindset. The journey of growth is different from other typical "Dihua" (a term referring to a certain type of fictional character) stories, which I personally quite liked. I just don't know why it's not more popular.
"Survival by Rewind: I'm Really Not a God" uses "death and rewind" as its core setting, pushing the infinite flow genre to new heights. The protagonist, Chen Fan, wields the "power of rewind," appearing on the surface as an "expert" who easily overcomes challenges, but in reality, he is a tragic hero who exchanges six deaths for a one-minute victory.
