   Everyone who's read it raves about it!!! First-person narration. The author's first book features a protagonist who grows through development. His personality is... Well, a bit... In the middle... But he's alright later on. Many foreshadowing elements and the exciting parts, including the character's suspicions, were missed because I read the second book first. Still, it's a great read. It has an open ending and a bonus chapter, "Haunted House," which is fantastic. I was hooked by the animation (edited from other apps) and couldn't stop reading. The protagonist in this book also seems to grow; he's the number one haunted house author, and his personality is better than in the first book, in my opinion. The author is constantly improving. The whole book truly achieves a sense of immersion—super good! The third book should be called "Haunted Room," but I didn't get into it at the time. Maybe I'll find time to read it sometime. I'm currently reading the fourth book, and it's delicious! No spoilers, just a thumbs up! I don't know if it's because I've forgotten most of the plot from the previous books, but this one has a strangely comedic element, adding a lot of laughter to the tense atmosphere. It's very interesting! Boss Zhuang is awesome!

    Brothers, this is a must-read for Tomato! A must-read for anyone experiencing a reading slump! Here comes a super-good novel recommendation that you'll stay up all night to finish! First up is *The Gods' Fool's Play*! The gods have descended upon Earth, believe me! This book is ridiculously imaginative! The protagonist starts as a priest, the "God of Deception," named Joker 🤡! He ends up causing chaos in a bunch of mystical faith games—while others revere the gods, he's out there tricking, deceiving, and subverting them, pulling off one crazy stunt after another that will leave you wanting more! The Cthulhu-esque world is incredibly captivating, with all sorts of bizarre dungeons that feel like they're cheating, and the supporting characters are all ruthless, each with their own hidden agendas. The plot twists are so numerous you'll never guess what's going on! Over a million brothers are currently reading it; it's definitely a dark horse in the Tomato fantasy genre, you won't regret it! Second is *Until Death Do Us Part!*, A completed post-apocalyptic novel—help! This post-apocalyptic novel is simply the pinnacle of "self-torture-style satisfying reading"! The protagonist, Fang Xiu, comes with an "infinite resurrection cheat," allowing him to rewind and start over every time he dies. However, each dungeon is like a life-or-death struggle, with rules and supernatural tales that are increasingly bizarre. Not only are monsters chasing you, but you also have to rely on your intelligence to fight them off, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat! His character is incredibly compelling; outwardly calm and collected, but inwardly he's a whirlwind of complaints. His "breakdown" style is both tragic and exhilarating, the kind where you're getting tortured while simultaneously screaming "A million more times!" Although still ongoing, it's already boasting a 9.4 Rating, a runaway success. Fans of post-apocalyptic suspense should definitely check it out, even if it means staying up all night to catch the next chapter! The third book, "Before Falling into Eternal Night," is a post-apocalyptic novel without a system [Everyone's a villain + a human drama]. On the surface, they're classmates fighting side-by-side, but behind the scenes, each harbors their own secrets! Some betray their teammates to survive, while others gamble everything for the truth. The most ingenious element is the "Chosen One" setting—those chosen by the gods can awaken supernatural abilities, but at the cost of being forever under surveillance. While others use cheat codes to slay ghosts, the protagonist, Su Yuan, relies solely on his brains! During evening self-study, the words "When the supernatural descends, death is the end" suddenly appear in blood on the blackboard. Then, campus ghost stories come true—a wardrobe that eats people, a senior in red wandering at midnight, the disappearing corpse of a classmate... Everyone is intelligent, there are no overly virtuous characters, and no idiotic actions. Every escape will keep your heart pounding, making it a must-watch even if it means staying up all night!
