   The world is collapsing. The protagonist claims to be an ordinary person, but he's suspected of having a mental illness. There aren't many chapters yet; it won't be confirmed until the final few chapters. The protagonist is indeed insane, though he seems normal at the beginning. If you don't have a high tolerance for stress, I don't recommend reading this.
