"Infinite Terror: I Went Home After Being Attacked by a Ghost" is an amazing book. The author was punished for making the protagonist so monstrous. I can't recommend it now because I'm in a reading slump, but you can find it by searching the title. It has over 800,000 words, definitely enough to keep you reading. The protagonist kills his father, mother, sister, and cousin at the beginning, and then gets a cheat code that allows him to go home (revealed later). The protagonist's personality is selfish from the start. His personality is extremely extreme when participating in dungeons. The most monstrous thing about him later is that he deceives himself. The protagonist has no sense of the big picture; whoever offends him, he kills them without considering the consequences. His only redeeming quality is his filial piety towards his family. As for how he is filial, that's none of your business. The protagonist also has the characteristic of harming everyone equally; wherever he goes, disaster strikes. The protagonist's character is very controversial. The Great Heavenly Venerable Shan Gu has countless connections with the protagonist. The protagonist is self-centered and alone. At 800,000 words, the protagonist is still a lone wolf, without any fixed teammates. 80% Of those who team up with him die. Those who survive only live for a few days. This book is definitely the most unique horror novel I've ever read. You won't find a dark and terrifying novel this unique anywhere else on the internet.

The protagonist, driven by self-interest, is ruthless, cunning, and decisive in his killings. He's not a saint and delivers a satisfying, unadulterated experience. Transmigrating to the cultivation world, he awakens a loan system, which he then turns into a slave system. The protagonist sets up a series of unequal treaties that make repayment impossible. A simple fingerprint is all it takes to secure a loan, but repayment requires trillions of top-grade spirit stones in a second. He essentially transforms the loan system into a forced contract, a slave system where slaves cannot resist, betray, or violate the treaties. Upon the slave's death, everything belongs to the protagonist.
