    A fantasy, suspense, cultivation novel with no romantic pairing. It features a strong, developing female protagonist with humanity and chivalry. The premise is fresh and the plot is original, making it highly recommended. The story begins with the female protagonist waking up in a dilapidated house after a village has been massacred; she is the sole witness. Later, she leaves, becomes the young master, and loses all her memories. She discovers her internal energy cultivation method is different and encounters strange faces around her. She descends the mountain to seek the truth in the martial world, but accidentally enters another world. This is not a wish-fulfillment novel; there's no female protagonist who indiscriminately kills. It's not suitable for those with a violent or impulsive personality; older readers can also enjoy it. It's the only book I'm currently reading.

    This is a time-travel novel with no romantic pairing. The initial worlds are filled with ghosts and monsters. Later, a spacetime rift appears in that world, connecting it to a bizarre main world, leading to the emergence of bizarre creatures. To seal the rift, the female protagonist travels to another small world controlled by these bizarre creatures and finds a rift leading to the main world. She easily defeats both the ghosts and bizarre creatures. These bizarre creatures eat people, but later, an insectoid race appears. The original purpose of the bizarre creatures was to eliminate the insectoids, but due to an accident, the main world of bizarre creatures and the world with the insectoids cannot connect. Therefore, to become stronger, the bizarre creatures begin to eat people. The female protagonist owns a time-traveling shop that can connect people from any era. She seems to have been chosen by the Heavenly Dao to connect the bizarre main world and the world inhabited by insectoids. The only difference is that the bizarre creatures in the main world cannot indiscriminately devour humans, because if a world's humanity is wiped out, the Heavenly Dao will choose to perish together with the bizarre creatures. Therefore, the human population must be maintained at a certain level. The bizarre creatures in the main world cannot indiscriminately harm people; they can only devour those who can see them (Awakened Ones). This was originally a story about a true and false heiress, but the female protagonist severed ties with the Shi family in the first chapter. Xiao Wudao and Shi Yiyi were the original male and female leads. Shi Yiyi was ultimately killed because she had spoiled her children for generations. However, Xiao Wudao severed ties with the Xiao family and offended the Jun family (a powerful family of metaphysical scholars). Later, Shi Yiyi abandoned Xiao Wudao and became someone's mistress, only to be beaten to death by the original wife's men. In the end, the Shi family members all suffered tragic fates.

    This book is truly, truly excellent. It's a completely original work; you won't find another book of this type on Tomato Bookstore. The story is bizarre, but unlike other stories, it's incredibly novel and exceptionally good. You could call it "unbeatable," or you could say it's not. It's enjoyable no matter how you read it. Someone can defeat the protagonist, but the protagonist survives and can pay with their life. There are illusory gods, but they are no match for the bishop. This isn't the kind of story about exploring secrets or following a mission-based plot; it's purely based on the protagonist's will. I highly recommend it!

    These are all non-romantic and incredibly scary! The main characters are all intelligent, and the plots are captivating. The first book was especially terrifying; every time I finish reading it, it leaves me with a chilling aftertaste, even in the middle of the day. It truly has no romantic pairings or any ambiguous relationships. Every character is incredibly capable, and the ghosts are cunning and treacherous. Everyone is intelligent, and there are no inexplicable descriptions of female figures or stereotypes about women and men. Each character has their own strengths, making it truly excellent. The only downside is that it's impossible to finish it all at once; it's simply not enough! The second book is a female-centric, no-romance novel with an ensemble cast. The main characters and most of the other characters are female, and it's incredibly good! Each character is very distinctive and avoids stereotypes. Everyone is intelligent and capable, and the plot is tightly woven, with humor interspersed throughout the horror, making it very engaging and highly recommended. The third book is also a female-centric, no-romance novel. The female lead is incredibly resilient, intelligent, and capable, with a strong will to live and rapid growth. The plot is very tight (although most of the important characters are male), but the female lead is truly charming and intelligent, and the plot is excellent. These minor flaws don't detract from the overall quality, making it highly recommended. The fourth book is also a no-romance, no-female-lead novel, and it's also very good! There are almost no romantic subplots. The protagonist is intelligent and perceptive, and the other characters are all very strong. The horror atmosphere is excellent, and there are no stereotypes. It's definitely worth reading.

    🦌I don't know what a book drought is, but all I can do is pray for a better one.🦌 Suspenseful, mind-bending, and supernatural👻👻 🍀① For readers who enjoy intellectual games and are struggling to find something to read in the infinite flow genre, this book is worth a try. It features diverse dungeon designs, smooth logic, a reasonable pace, a protagonist who doesn't lose his intelligence, and natural foreshadowing. It tells the story of a protagonist who accidentally enters the Land of the End and is forced into a death game.📖 It's a type of infinite flow novel. Not a traditional infinite flow novel, but rather similar to single-player dungeons like Alice in the Land of the Dying, Fierce Players, and Thriller Paradise, where you overcome obstacles through intellectual games to achieve your goals. 📖On an ordinary day, the protagonist is unexpectedly captured and taken to the Land of the End, where he must continuously participate in death games to escape. However, everyone begins to awaken supernatural powers… A serialized horror novel, without clichés or invincible plot twists.
