    Why are some of the recommendations mentioning romance? I'll recommend two books I haven't mentioned before. The first one is an infinite flow novel with no romance, and the main character is well-developed and relatable. The second one isn't exactly an infinite flow novel, but it's still a horror escape story with no romance, which fits the bill quite well. What's amazing is that the author manages to make even the most tragic situations hilarious, making you feel both sorry for the characters and unable to stop laughing.

    The first one I discovered a while ago, and I caught up with it then. I've only managed to collect about a dozen chapters so far. It's quite good, but the author is too lazy; it's either filler or only one update at a time. The second one, "Big Hammer," you all know it, right? It's also quite good. I read the third one a long time ago, when I was just starting to read infinite flow novels and similar genres. I finished it; it was good, but too short. The fourth one was probably the first novel of this genre I ever read, if not the first, then definitely in the top three. Maybe I was more forgiving when I first started reading it; I really enjoyed it then. I've finished it, but I don't know if it suits the tastes of today's readers. The last one—those who like it really like it, those who don't won't even bother clicking on it. I personally think it's quite good, but reading it at night is really scary.

    Both are highly recommended. No female lead, no romantic pairing, original storylines, fast-paced, and with a fresh theme. The first book is decisive and ruthless, with a tightly woven plot and a slightly frightening sense of tension, taking an unconventional approach. The second book features a powerful player with a combat stat of 98 navigating beginner dungeons, subduing one monster per dungeon – a true succubus of the monster world. (The downside of the second book, if not its flaws, is that the system severely restricts luck and charm stats. The good news is that charm suppression only applies to the player, not the monsters. In the face of monsters, Xie Ge is like a succubus! Suppressing luck means opening the door to monsters, making them easier to contain – a delight for the succubus!) Xie Ge desires, Xie Ge obtains; Xie Ge equally loves every powerful monster.

    Despite their low ratings, these two books are actually quite good. There's no romance, and both protagonists have slight overpowered abilities, but this doesn't detract from the suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere. The main suspense relies on intelligence and deduction to overcome obstacles. The first book features a small amount of live-streaming, all of which are the protagonist's off-screen advantages—obtaining extra information through these streams. The dungeon setup is novel, progressing layer by layer, and gets really intense in the mid-to-late stages. The second book's protagonist's advantage is time reversal; the number of reversals per dungeon is limited and doesn't affect the atmosphere, while the dungeon setup remains fresh. Both novels avoid rather clichéd settings like schools, hospitals, ghost marriages, and ancient mansions.

    True god, all of the following are true. I have read them all. None of the following books have any problematic romantic storylines. There are no female leads or romantic pairings, at most some brotherly love. I highly recommend books 1, 6, 16, 17, and 19. Book 17 and 19 have some comedic elements. (This is just my personal opinion. I think all 19 books are particularly good. Maybe it's because my standards are high.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say the first book was incredibly enjoyable! The descriptions, the details, the expressions—it was both elegant and insane!!! Jue Jue Zi was absolutely ruthless and decisive, truly satisfying. The later additions completely filled in the gaps in his background, identity, and the entire world-building, making it especially cool. The second book is by a new author and is still ongoing. If you want to read it, you can put the book aside and let it read some more. It's also a male protagonist without a romantic relationship, on the mysterious side. Also, the content seems to only have at least two distinct scenarios, with no repetition. As for the live stream, it's probably random.

    The first book features a purely evil, slightly insane protagonist who prioritizes self-interest and plays the villain without seeking redemption; it's currently being serialized. The second book, "Rules of the Strange," features a protagonist who craves thrills, lacks emotional talent, and is incredibly powerful—a purely wish-fulfillment story. It's a national destiny-themed novel, but later episodes feature hundreds of participants, and then it starts to smack of BL (Boys' Love) elements. The third book, "Persimmons," is a top-tier "Rules of the Strange" novel featuring a powerful fighting god; it's a very enjoyable read in its early to mid-stages. The fourth book isn't finished yet, but it's currently available.
