   Hello everyone, I'm Funny Ghost, an ordinary reader. Although I'm just an ordinary person, the books I recommend are extraordinary. Please take a look. The first book features a captivating story. While the author's writing isn't exceptional, it's still readable. According to the author, the story will be incredibly exciting with a vast world-building. However, due to his studies and lack of established reputation, updates are very slow. The story revolves around a young man named Kong Muchen who enters a dream world and begins cultivating before the apocalypse arrives in the real world, gradually revealing the truth of the world... Update tracking index: ☆☆ Reading Index ☆☆☆☆ The second book also boasts a grand worldview, and its portrayal of racial equality and the lives of "inferior races" is thought-provoking and evokes sympathy. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the early stage is the Endermen Federation (which can also be understood as China), a walled era overrun by monsters. It contains not only tragedy but also passion and love. Update tracking index: ☆☆☆ Reading Index ☆☆☆☆ In the third book, during the "Body Demon" period, Mo Dao's writing style made a great leap forward, and his worldview unfolded step by step. The conflicts between the characters and the intrigue in the capital were vividly portrayed by Mo Dao, with Bai Yi Ning Ming embarking on a battle journey on a forbidden night. Update tracking index: ☆☆☆ Reading Index ☆☆☆☆ The fourth book is a web game novel and a horror resurgence novel. It starts with the protagonist's rebirth and the world view slowly unfolds. It is a refreshing novel, so I won't describe it in too much detail here. Update tracking index: ☆☆ Reading Index ☆☆☆☆

    This is a fantasy post-apocalyptic story, likely set in a rebooted era. It's similar to cultivation novels in its premise, but differs from mainstream cultivation novels, leaning more towards a unique cultivation approach specific to the Dharma-ending Age. It features two female leads, but isn't a yuri (lesbian) story. The post-apocalyptic setting involves natural disasters, monsters, and other strange creatures. However, it's not a one-hit kill story; the female leads seem to develop gradually. The premise is quite good, novel, and rare. Furthermore, the perspective isn't entirely focused on the female leads; other characters are also developed quite well, and their characters are continuously expanded. Those who dislike single-perspective stories might enjoy this one.

This is the story of an ordinary person becoming a ruler of the dead, reshaping order in a world on the verge of destruction. "My puppets are my laws."

    Check this out, it's soft science fiction. Qiuqiu lands on a beast planet, originally there to complete an experimental mission, but she's noticed and relentlessly pursued by beastmen of different races, each with their own ulterior motives. In the process of striving for their own simple goals, she inadvertently takes on the responsibility of balancing the interests of various races and ensuring the planet's continued development! It's a completely different style of science fiction beastman novel!
