The first one is really scary, Chinese horror, be careful when reading it at night! The second one is the kind of book that makes you think deeply, and the relationship between the characters is very complicated, which is a bit brain-burning.

My two top books are especially Guishe! It's really beautiful. The Lady in Black, the Man Looking Up, the Rain Praying Village and the Dengying Temple are particularly recommended. However, this book is a bit long, so you can refer to these copies.

That's a woman. Wearing a plain white dress with fluttering skirts, as if wrapped in a light smoke-like mist, she was walking slowly on the stone path of Qingya. She didn't look back, just a silhouette, and she was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human being in this world. Her black hair is hanging down, her figure is light, and she steps leisurely among the rocks covered with petals. Su Yan's heart skipped a beat. Where could such a stunning woman come from in the wilderness of the mountains? He has been reading strange books since he was a child, and his heart

The four dungeons are very similar to Shelter. The main character is highly intelligent, calm, decisive in killing, and has no CP. The background of the dungeon in the first one has connecting clues. It is an original dungeon, suspenseful and brain-burning. It is worth a look. Among them, the dungeon of "The Wedding Banquet" is my favorite, and it is also the most terrifying dungeon in my opinion. The plot reverses the truth many times and is unexpected. The horror of the background story does not lie in the ghosts, but in the depiction of the distortion of human nature in the disaster of eating human flesh. The protagonist of the second book has a golden finger that can tell good and evil with his eyes. Each script is very difficult between life and death. The clues are delicate and will test your IQ and burst your CPU! If you feel that you have a good IQ, you can give it a try. The protagonist of the third book is sleeping on the road and entering a dungeon. The idea of opening the dungeon is also ingenious. The purpose is to stop the spread of dream protons and awaken superpowers. The plot of the dungeon is slightly inferior to the first two books, but it is still very good. The fourth book is a heroine, she is still very intelligent, not a holy mother, don't be deceived by the name, this book is wonderful in both the dungeon plot and the real-life plot, the background concept is quite good, the players in the dungeon are very obvious in killing each other, and I feel that the heroine's strength rises a bit too fast... The fifth book is basically well known to those who like Infinite Streaming (there are not many emotional lines with the heroine)
