    *Backrooms*: A dream-centric horror novel with rigorous logic and writing style, suitable for readers outside the fantasy genre. *The Mysterious City of Dreams*: The author likes to plant foreshadowing and hidden plots; the characters are intelligent; the first dungeon has a good plot twist; the "twin blossoms" setting of Ye Niaoniao and Ye Yiyi is quite novel. *Slaying Ghosts*: I haven't read it for long, but I recommend the chapters about the pseudo-humans. *Before Falling into Eternal Night*: The author is good at delivering heartbreak; the various supporting characters are vividly portrayed, such as Song Xiaoxia, whose character in the early stages is incredibly moving. She has a warm family, and although she's not academically gifted, she's a great singer (she participated in competitions), and her most charming quality is her fearlessness in the face of challenges. "Song Xiaoxia bit her red lips tightly, tears welling in her eyes, her chest heaving. 'No... No need, Mom, I just missed you... Don't come, it's too late, I... I'm fine, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Lights out soon, I'm going to sleep... Goodnight, Mom.' — But he clearly realized that the person standing in front of him wasn't his sister, but a terrifying demon. He could only watch helplessly as he walked towards his death. How cruel... You're so timid, how scared you must have been!" "Waking Up: I'm Burdened with 40 Murder Cases": Suspenseful and supernatural, high-energy from the very beginning! Deduction + crime solving. "After reading this diary entry, Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. This entry was written ten years ago, and there were more chapters to come. He hurriedly flipped to the next chapter, the contents of which were similar to the previous one—both describing how to commit murder. 'No way? Don't mess with me, did I transmigrate into this guy's body?'" *Death Chamber*: The protagonist is a special crime scene cleaner who goes on a mission to a rented house in the east of the city during the Ghost Festival, only to discover that the deceased is his ex-girlfriend... "In the bathroom, someone tapped my shoulder three times from behind. I instinctively turned around and looked at Xia Meng standing behind me. 'What are you doing?' I looked at her blankly. She also looked at me with some confusion: 'What's wrong?' My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly asked: 'Why did you tap me just now?'" *Have You Successfully Checked into the Survival Hotel Today?* "The Real Escape Club": A story of infinite flow, strong female lead, tightly packed and complete dungeon plots, and suspenseful mystery. "... Cheng Miao seemed to feel a chilling aura enveloping her... This isn't a story of a contemporary college student mistakenly turned into a serial killer by feudal superstition. This is clearly the story of a demon who achieves immortality by eating children, living for centuries without changing its appearance." Suspenseful and imaginative, with a system and infinite flow. The protagonist joins an escape club to survive. The once-prosperous Sunshine Noble School, now in a moderately polluted area, is desolate outside but brand new inside. The children's faces in the student photos were indistinct, replaced by flower buds. Even the head teacher seemed to have become strange... "Her eyes had turned into compound eyes like an insect's! Her body was covered in eerie downy hair! A straw hat and jeans made her look like a gardener trimming flowers! Her gaze was fixed on the children around her, full of greed and longing, and even saliva dripped from her insect-like mouthparts!" *Thriller: I Only Sell Haunted Houses*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist is a real estate agent who accidentally sells a haunted house. Afterwards, he encounters terrifying things: a little girl searching for Li Xiumei, strange high-heeled shoe prints... And finally, discovering a corpse hidden behind the back of the wardrobe! "Behind the wardrobe, the wall, originally painted white with latex paint, was now swollen, as if soaked in water. And the swollen areas perfectly outlined a human figure! There really was a corpse hidden inside this wall!" (From "Who Says I'm On the Side of the Police? I'm On the Side of Profit": Suspenseful mystery + time travel + crime-solving. The protagonist travels to the time of 2006 on Earth. To survive, he writes suspense novels to earn money, but ends up being arrested as a suspect and getting embroiled in a series of cases... (The protagonist has Conan-like physique)) "A novel idea flashed through his mind, but he immediately rejected it. Too dangerous. 'So, did you find anything?' Before leaving, Ji Tingxiao specifically stopped by the technical investigation team, seeing them still reviewing the surveillance footage, and asked. 'No, no strangers have entered since we left, not even today, just the captain and the two of you.'..." *The Ghost Patrolman*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family makes a living off the dead, and he has dealt with corpses since childhood, witnessing all sorts of bizarre and strange deaths. The story begins with the discovery that a young girl's corpse is actually composed of two people! "I suddenly had an extremely absurd thought: 'This corpse... Could it really be the Lin family girl?' But I was certain that the face in front of me was definitely not the Lin girl's. Although both of them were very beautiful, their appearances were quite different. The Lin girl had a round face, which made her look very gentle. This girl, on the other hand, had a standard oval face, with small, delicate eyes and nose. It was more like... A composite of two people. It was as if... The torso was the Lin family girl's, while the head and limbs were someone else's!" *The Ghostly Grave (Heavenly Marriage)*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family is destined to be poor for generations because a poor ghost is buried in their ancestral grave. The eldest and second eldest brothers both died unnatural deaths, and the father died suddenly beside the ancestral grave while digging up the poor ghost's ghostly dwelling. The protagonist was born on the 14th day of the lunar calendar, at 4 AM, and was dubbed the "Child of Calamity"! He barely survived to be 18 when his sister picked him up to go home, but on the way back, he received a phone call from her... "I tried to get up to see better, and my elbow hit the tricycle! My elbow sank in, and when I looked closely, I almost fell off. This tricycle was made of paper! It looked like a paper cart burned for the dead." *I Work as a Haunted House Sleep Tester*: A supernatural suspense story. The protagonist works at a real estate company. After assaulting a colleague, he was transferred from sales to working as a haunted house sleep tester. On his first day, the department manager told him that a senior employee would contact him that evening and give him a trial day. The protagonist never expected that this senior employee was actually the sister of the person who had put him in jail! However, what I didn't expect was that the manager suddenly messaged him asking if he was in the villa on Moonlight Road... "Just as I was starting to suspect her, suddenly, Lao Wang messaged me. I glanced at the message and was immediately shocked. 'Li Mu, you fucking answer the phone! Where are you right now? Are you in that villa on Moonlight Road?' 'If you are, run right now!'" *Welcome to the Global Weird Paradise*: Suspenseful and Supernatural + Story Collection + Multiple Protagonists + Short Stories. The first story is a short story about personality settings. At first glance, you might think it's about imprisonment and survival, but it turns out to be about one person's multiple personalities, with unexpected twists, novel settings, and a tight plot. "Why not just stuff it in directly? And what's the point?" A thought suddenly popped into his mind, unexpected and startling. Could it be... They weren't in the next room, but in their own? *Demon Colony*: Suspenseful, imaginative, bizarre, grand worldview, system. The protagonist transmigrates to a world filled with "gods." When the protagonist refuses to worship the "gods," his originally gentle and loving parents carefully hold his grandfather's sacrificial entrails, excitedly declaring him a heretic. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the burning flesh candle and incense. He couldn't discern anything from the incense. But when he saw the flesh candle, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened instantly. That, that, that's... Inside that flesh candle, it's... It's a small fingernail! *Soul-Crossing Lamp*: Suspenseful, supernatural, female-oriented, first-person perspective. The female protagonist is born with fire in her destiny, naturally prone to misfortune. To survive, she crawls into a graveyard and sleeps with corpses for three years. The author's writing is fluent, combining horror with wit and humor. The episodic format and fast-paced ghost-hunting make the plot tightly paced. "I tried to pull at that clump of stuff, but I couldn't get it off. Seeing my brother's head almost submerged in the water, I panicked and jumped in too, trying to pull him out with both hands. But when I saw what was wrapped around my brother's feet in the moonlight, I was horrified. It wasn't seaweed at all; it was a tangled mess of long hair!" *The Misty Mountain* is a suspenseful supernatural thriller with a well-developed mystery and crime-solving atmosphere. The plot is fast-paced, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the reader is left wanting more. The protagonist is a police officer in Liangshui Village, and the story begins with a bizarre "pig eating a person" case. "'Grunt... Snort...' The large, fat pig, huddled against the wall, grunted restlessly, and the pigs in the other cubicle also became agitated. Yellow urine flowed from the pigpen, followed by bright red blood." *The Comic Book Predicts the Murder*: This suspenseful mystery novel shares some similarities with the film *Murder Toy*, featuring a comic book predicting a murder. The pacing is slow, but the plot is intricately woven. The Pearl Mountain case, the alleyway arson case... It all started with Qiu Yue's disappearance... "Xi Xi, enduring the nausea from the pills, patted her little chest to comfort herself: 'Xi Xi, be a good girl and take your medicine, you'll see your mother when you get better.' Xu ​​San's face darkened. 'Your mother doesn't want you anymore, and you still want to see her?' Tears welled up in Xi Xi's eyes, but she held back her voice. Xu San looked at her bald head. 'Your hair is growing a bit, Daddy will shave it for you.' Xi Xi frantically covered her head: 'Xi Xi wants her hair to grow long, she wants to braid it.'" *Starting as an Apprentice to Uncle Nine*: A suspenseful and imaginative story + Uncle Nine universe + a protagonist who levels up and is decisive in killing. The style retains the flavor of Uncle Nine's movies, the original characters are not out of character, and it's both terrifying and humorous. "Her eyes, her eyes, seemed to shine like stars. I saw it, I saw it, I saw it, I saw it, and my heart pounded with fear. In the dark woods, four paper figures carried a red sedan chair at breakneck speed. Looking closely, their feet didn't even touch the chair; a beautiful female ghost dressed in red sat on it." *Code Name: Bone Butterfly*: A suspenseful, mind-bending crime-solving novel with a short runtime—you could finish it in the bathroom—but the plot is tightly woven and complete. I especially love Ye Shuyun; calm and rational, she throws herself into the investigation to uncover the truth behind her younger sister's death. "Then, she began examining her abdominal organs—liver, spleen, kidneys… When she examined the right kidney area, her movements suddenly stopped! Something was wrong! She carefully and repeatedly touched and observed, then she suddenly looked up at Lao Zhou, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror: 'Lao Zhou! Her right kidney… is gone!'"

"Song Xiaoxia bit her red lips tightly, tears welling in her eyes, her chest heaving. 'No... No need, Mom, I just missed you... Don't come, it's too late, I... I'm fine, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Lights out soon, I'm going to sleep... Goodnight, Mom.' — But he clearly realized that the person standing in front of him wasn't his sister, but a terrifying demon. He could only watch helplessly as he walked towards his death. How cruel... You're so timid, how scared you must have been!" "Waking Up: I'm Burdened with 40 Murder Cases": Suspenseful and supernatural, high-energy from the very beginning! Deduction + crime solving. "After reading this diary entry, Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. This entry was written ten years ago, and there were more chapters to come. He hurriedly flipped to the next chapter, the contents of which were similar to the previous one—both describing how to commit murder. 'No way? Don't mess with me, did I transmigrate into this guy's body?'" *Death Chamber*: The protagonist is a special crime scene cleaner who goes on a mission to a rented house in the east of the city during the Ghost Festival, only to discover that the deceased is his ex-girlfriend... "In the bathroom, someone tapped my shoulder three times from behind. I instinctively turned around and looked at Xia Meng standing behind me. 'What are you doing?' I looked at her blankly. She also looked at me with some confusion: 'What's wrong?' My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly asked: 'Why did you tap me just now?'" *Have You Successfully Checked into the Survival Hotel Today?* "The Real Escape Club": A story of infinite flow, strong female lead, tightly packed and complete dungeon plots, and suspenseful mystery. "... Cheng Miao seemed to feel a chilling aura enveloping her... This isn't a story of a contemporary college student mistakenly turned into a serial killer by feudal superstition. This is clearly the story of a demon who achieves immortality by eating children, living for centuries without changing its appearance." Suspenseful and imaginative, with a system and infinite flow. The protagonist joins an escape club to survive. The once-prosperous Sunshine Noble School, now in a moderately polluted area, is desolate outside but brand new inside. The children's faces in the student photos were indistinct, replaced by flower buds. Even the head teacher seemed to have become strange... "Her eyes had turned into compound eyes like an insect's! Her body was covered in eerie downy hair! A straw hat and jeans made her look like a gardener trimming flowers! Her gaze was fixed on the children around her, full of greed and longing, and even saliva dripped from her insect-like mouthparts!" *Thriller: I Only Sell Haunted Houses*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist is a real estate agent who accidentally sells a haunted house. Afterwards, he encounters terrifying things: a little girl searching for Li Xiumei, strange high-heeled shoe prints... And finally, discovering a corpse hidden behind the back of the wardrobe! "Behind the wardrobe, the wall, originally painted white with latex paint, was now swollen, as if soaked in water. And the swollen areas perfectly outlined a human figure! There really was a corpse hidden inside this wall!" (From "Who Says I'm On the Side of the Police? I'm On the Side of Profit": Suspenseful mystery + time travel + crime-solving. The protagonist travels to the time of 2006 on Earth. To survive, he writes suspense novels to earn money, but ends up being arrested as a suspect and getting embroiled in a series of cases... (The protagonist has Conan-like physique)) "A novel idea flashed through his mind, but he immediately rejected it. Too dangerous. 'So, did you find anything?' Before leaving, Ji Tingxiao specifically stopped by the technical investigation team, seeing them still reviewing the surveillance footage, and asked. 'No, no strangers have entered since we left, not even today, just the captain and the two of you.'..." *The Ghost Patrolman*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family makes a living off the dead, and he has dealt with corpses since childhood, witnessing all sorts of bizarre and strange deaths. The story begins with the discovery that a young girl's corpse is actually composed of two people! "I suddenly had an extremely absurd thought: 'This corpse... Could it really be the Lin family girl?' But I was certain that the face in front of me was definitely not the Lin girl's. Although both of them were very beautiful, their appearances were quite different. The Lin girl had a round face, which made her look very gentle. This girl, on the other hand, had a standard oval face, with small, delicate eyes and nose. It was more like... A composite of two people. It was as if... The torso was the Lin family girl's, while the head and limbs were someone else's!" *The Ghostly Grave (Heavenly Marriage)*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family is destined to be poor for generations because a poor ghost is buried in their ancestral grave. The eldest and second eldest brothers both died unnatural deaths, and the father died suddenly beside the ancestral grave while digging up the poor ghost's ghostly dwelling. The protagonist was born on the 14th day of the lunar calendar, at 4 AM, and was dubbed the "Child of Calamity"! He barely survived to be 18 when his sister picked him up to go home, but on the way back, he received a phone call from her... "I tried to get up to see better, and my elbow hit the tricycle! My elbow sank in, and when I looked closely, I almost fell off. This tricycle was made of paper! It looked like a paper cart burned for the dead." *I Work as a Haunted House Sleep Tester*: A supernatural suspense story. The protagonist works at a real estate company. After assaulting a colleague, he was transferred from sales to working as a haunted house sleep tester. On his first day, the department manager told him that a senior employee would contact him that evening and give him a trial day. The protagonist never expected that this senior employee was actually the sister of the person who had put him in jail! However, what I didn't expect was that the manager suddenly messaged him asking if he was in the villa on Moonlight Road... "Just as I was starting to suspect her, suddenly, Lao Wang messaged me. I glanced at the message and was immediately shocked. 'Li Mu, you fucking answer the phone! Where are you right now? Are you in that villa on Moonlight Road?' 'If you are, run right now!'" *Welcome to the Global Weird Paradise*: Suspenseful and Supernatural + Story Collection + Multiple Protagonists + Short Stories. The first story is a short story about personality settings. At first glance, you might think it's about imprisonment and survival, but it turns out to be about one person's multiple personalities, with unexpected twists, novel settings, and a tight plot. "Why not just stuff it in directly? And what's the point?" A thought suddenly popped into his mind, unexpected and startling. Could it be... They weren't in the next room, but in their own? *Demon Colony*: Suspenseful, imaginative, bizarre, grand worldview, system. The protagonist transmigrates to a world filled with "gods." When the protagonist refuses to worship the "gods," his originally gentle and loving parents carefully hold his grandfather's sacrificial entrails, excitedly declaring him a heretic. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the burning flesh candle and incense. He couldn't discern anything from the incense. But when he saw the flesh candle, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened instantly. That, that, that's... Inside that flesh candle, it's... It's a small fingernail! *Soul-Crossing Lamp*: Suspenseful, supernatural, female-oriented, first-person perspective. The female protagonist is born with fire in her destiny, naturally prone to misfortune. To survive, she crawls into a graveyard and sleeps with corpses for three years. The author's writing is fluent, combining horror with wit and humor. The episodic format and fast-paced ghost-hunting make the plot tightly paced. "I tried to pull at that clump of stuff, but I couldn't get it off. Seeing my brother's head almost submerged in the water, I panicked and jumped in too, trying to pull him out with both hands. But when I saw what was wrapped around my brother's feet in the moonlight, I was horrified. It wasn't seaweed at all; it was a tangled mess of long hair!" *The Misty Mountain* is a suspenseful supernatural thriller with a well-developed mystery and crime-solving atmosphere. The plot is fast-paced, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the reader is left wanting more. The protagonist is a police officer in Liangshui Village, and the story begins with a bizarre "pig eating a person" case. "'Grunt... Snort...' The large, fat pig, huddled against the wall, grunted restlessly, and the pigs in the other cubicle also became agitated. Yellow urine flowed from the pigpen, followed by bright red blood." *The Comic Book Predicts the Murder*: This suspenseful mystery novel shares some similarities with the film *Murder Toy*, featuring a comic book predicting a murder. The pacing is slow, but the plot is intricately woven. The Pearl Mountain case, the alleyway arson case... It all started with Qiu Yue's disappearance... "Xi Xi, enduring the nausea from the pills, patted her little chest to comfort herself: 'Xi Xi, be a good girl and take your medicine, you'll see your mother when you get better.' Xu San's face darkened. 'Your mother doesn't want you anymore, and you still want to see her?' Tears welled up in Xi Xi's eyes, but she held back her voice. Xu San looked at her bald head. 'Your hair is growing a bit, Daddy will shave it for you.' Xi Xi frantically covered her head: 'Xi Xi wants her hair to grow long, she wants to braid it.'" *Starting as an Apprentice to Uncle Nine*: A suspenseful and imaginative story + Uncle Nine universe + a protagonist who levels up and is decisive in killing. The style retains the flavor of Uncle Nine's movies, the original characters are not out of character, and it's both terrifying and humorous. "Her eyes, her eyes, seemed to shine like stars. I saw it, I saw it, I saw it, I saw it, and my heart pounded with fear. In the dark woods, four paper figures carried a red sedan chair at breakneck speed. Looking closely, their feet didn't even touch the chair; a beautiful female ghost dressed in red sat on it." *Code Name: Bone Butterfly*: A suspenseful, mind-bending crime-solving novel with a short runtime—you could finish it in the bathroom—but the plot is tightly woven and complete. I especially love Ye Shuyun; calm and rational, she throws herself into the investigation to uncover the truth behind her younger sister's death. "Then, she began examining her abdominal organs—liver, spleen, kidneys… When she examined the right kidney area, her movements suddenly stopped! Something was wrong! She carefully and repeatedly touched and observed, then she suddenly looked up at Lao Zhou, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror: 'Lao Zhou! Her right kidney… is gone!'"
