    The book is good, but that's not what I want to talk about. I recommend "The First Player" from Qidian.com. It's really good. The protagonist is the number one player, the center of attention, but also burdened with a lot of misunderstanding and doubt. To prevent the higher-dimensional beings from discovering his purpose (he wants to save his planet), he has to constantly impersonate others. Many people say he's a lackey of the organizers, and he can't refute it. He just walks his own path, frustrated and alone. It's not just in the real world; the stories in different instances are also very disheartening. Because the system matches players with corresponding roles based on their real identities. As the number one player, the protagonist is matched with roles that carry significant responsibilities. Standing at the highest point, he has to repeatedly weigh his options, fall into fate, and make the smallest sacrifice possible.

    Just put any book on it and you can ignore it. When it comes to ease and despair, youth literature reigns supreme. There's this guy who had a senior sister run off with someone else—yes, it's Yang Zhi. Comrade, welcome to *Dragon Raja*. Of course, don't have too high hopes for the protagonist; it's okay, you'll understand anyway [thumbs up]. Everyone's a loser. How to put it? [Thinking] If you want to just read it directly, you don't need to, but I think most people have probably already read it. I remember when I read *Dragon Raja*, I felt suffocated, like drowning. The protagonist is too weak, like they say, "Only a dog with its spine removed would decide to become a lion." Dragon One: "After joining Kassel College, the first dragon king I killed was my only brother." Dragon Three: The cowardly Lu Mingfei lost the girl who loved him dearly in the tavern. Dragon Four: The world restarts, the world forgets its best senior brother. When you discover Odin is your senior brother, what are you thinking? (Is it Long Si or Long Wu... Yang Zhi! Why isn't it updating yet?) Long Wu, your biological father killed your mother. What are you thinking? Helpless, in pain! It hurts so much, Yang Zhi.

    She looked up abruptly. A hidden compartment in the ceiling slowly opened, revealing a human figure, floating gently downwards. There was no struggle, no weight; limbs hung limply, feet completely off the ground, like a puppet with its strings cut, swaying slowly in the cold air. Long hair obscured her face; her body was devoid of warmth and breath; only her familiar dress stood out eerily in the deathly darkness. Directly below, another line of small, blood-red characters appeared on the stone wall, each word deliberate and slow, as if softly proclaiming: "This is the end." The ventilation shaft of the secret chamber abruptly closed, plunging the surroundings into utter silence, leaving only that human figure, swaying gently, gently, ceaselessly in mid-air… "Misaki-nee!!!" "No…no!!!" "What…what did I do!" Shijiu's pupils constricted, her legs buckled, and she collapsed heavily to her knees, her fingertips digging desperately into the cold cracks in the stone, a broken cry escaping her throat. She trembled uncontrollably, unable even to raise her hand to touch the swaying figure; only desperate sobs echoed in the deathly silence of the chamber. The fear and pain before her suddenly blurred…
