    The first book is complete, 2.6 Million words, focusing on the infinite universe and downplaying reality. It includes some female celebrities, but I guarantee that if you can patiently read on, the imagination will only grow wilder later on. Once skill synthesis, fusion, and devouring appear, the protagonist will become incredibly powerful—the exhilarating story of a three-headed, six-armed Nezha officially begins! The second book is also complete, 1.5 Million words, downplaying the apocalypse and focusing on the legendary world, plus some infinite universe elements. The early stages focus on legendary skills, and in the mid-to-late game, after skill levels reach ten or more, the skill effects become incredibly powerful. The third book has been updated to nearly 1 million words. It's a new urban entertainment novel; please add it to your collection. It starts by saving Yue Yunpeng and Guo Degang, then builds up the story before making a final cut! Currently, more than ten female celebrities have appeared, and updates are ongoing!

    I'd like to recommend a book I wrote myself. The protagonist's characteristics: In the early stages, he treats everyone around him as NPCs, and is highly self-serving, resorting to any means to achieve his goals. However, after experiencing certain events and the passage of time, his views on the people and the world change, and he begins to be willing to give to others. (The author used voice input, so there are quite a few typos between the lines. Also, there are many problematic elements in the early settings, although these are improved later. Enter at your own risk!!!) Recommendation rating: 3.5 Stars.

    Dear brothers and heroes, take a look at this book. I've written millions of words and gained millions of words of experience. I have three accounts on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), this is the smaller one. I also have a record of failing on Qidian. After a month of settling down, I'm back to writing Water Margin. Thank you, brothers! [Heart emoji] [heart emoji]

The crowds fade, and a hundred ghosts take to the roads. Humans and demons once shared the same world: by day, voices fill the streets and markets bustle; when night falls, ordinary objects and plants all turn into demons wandering the narrow lanes, making for a world with its own peculiar charm. Japan’s Heian period was the heyday of demon culture, when demons transformed from mere legends into objects of genuine belief. 23Reads9.1Score—Shelves
