A Huge Collection of Fourth Calamity Stories! Looking for Good Ones About Players Invading!
I read all kinds of novels, and lately I've really been into fourth natural disaster stories, especially ones centered on players. But the only one I thought was any good was My Players Have Gone on a Killing Spree, by I'm the Chosen One. The others have been pretty average. Please recommend something new! Don't hold back your favorites. Bring out the books you've been saving for a rainy day!

Come on in! Here's a fantastic book rated 9.9!
Protagonists Who Create Dungeons
The protagonist creates dungeons for people to challenge and earns rewards when they clear them. It'd also be fine if the protagonist created them in anime worlds and had anime characters take on the challenges.
A True Mastermind Protagonist Who Never Takes the Field, With an Ensemble Cast and a Revival Theme
A highly intelligent, true mastermind protagonist who never appears or shows off. Nobody can find or guess who the protagonist is. Ensemble cast, the source of the resurgence, the source of the supernatural, and control from behind the scenes. No snarky jokes or memes.
Looking for Stories with No Female Lead: No Flirting, No Romance, No Sex, and No Double Standards. Thanks!
No CP = no romantic partner. No ambiguous relationships = no endless flirting and tangled feelings. No double standards = damn, the female side characters are almost always there, while the male side characters are responsible for all the bad things and get wiped out (an exaggeration). No XO = focus on your career, or else.

Low-level secret realms should have rules and requirements, preventing high-level martial artists or cultivators from entering.
To sum it up, the pacing is too fast. The protagonist is a secret realm, leveling up by opening up one level after another, breaking through twelve levels to reach the second realm. This process takes 69 chapters, averaging about five chapters per level.
Two toxic spots. 1: The protagonist's subordinates can help the enemy fight the protagonist. 2: The enemy gradually strengthens itself, attacking the protagonist step by step. It takes the protagonist from an ordinary person to Qi Refining Level 1-2, then to Level 3-4, then to the mid-stage, then to the late stage, then to the perfect stage, and finally to the perfect Qi Refining Level 12. The enemy attacks the protagonist wave after wave.
This type of villainous management novel is particularly interesting. The author's writing is good, and the battle scenes are decent. There aren't many novels of this type, so I'm giving the author five stars! 👍👍👍
The story is finished. The initial concept was excellent, but the writing of the main characters was lacking. Huai You had the most scenes, but I was most looking forward to seeing the strongest, Lan Yue, and Di Tian. However, Lan Yue's attack resulted in Di Tian's immediate defeat. Later, forced by circumstances, Di Tian attained the Heavenly Venerable realm, reaching only the 9th level.
It's alright, I read 90 chapters in one go, but now I don't know who many of the characters are anymore. There are just too many characters, it's all so confusing and I can't remember them all. There's no super poison; if I had to name a minor poison, it would be the Tiger Demon, which is beyond the protagonist's control. Actually, starting from Kaifu Land, we can see that these are not the same book.
It's too fast and too rushed. Can you slow it down and be more steady? The leveling up and monster-fighting storyline feels too rushed.
It's quite interesting, not bad.
It looks strange; although it's a behind-the-scenes story, I can't figure out the protagonist's specific combat strength.
I think it's alright, I'll give it my support.
