   No romantic pairing. The female lead is a dead person (literal meaning, no offense intended). She's alone throughout the early stages, but later joins a gang. It's an infinite flow story. Personally, I think the female lead has a cool and aloof temperament, with no feelings for men. She's naturally a god when she draws her sword. The overall logic is very good. 👍 The ending feels open-ended, but since it's called "The Game of Becoming a God," the female lead should become a guardian deity.

    This book is a rip-off. I read six chapters and ended up giving it two stars in anger. At the beginning, the male protagonist became famous through the system and received a lot of rewards, constantly being called "God Lin."

    This is set in 2035, where murder mystery games have become "murder games," and an economic downturn has spawned "game hunters" who earn rewards by achieving perfect endings and help others with social ratings—the premise is incredibly imaginative! Players are transported to independent story spaces where NPCs can become killers, and character selection directly impacts survival rates; every step requires careful planning. The combination of an economic winter and a brutal murder mystery game weaves human nature and the struggle for survival into the game. Watching the protagonist navigate between reality and illusion offers both an immersive murder mystery experience and a metaphor for future society. Fans of imaginative sci-fi and survival games will find it addictive!

    Reader note

    The protagonist has no protagonist halo; a random passerby beats up a cheat code; an atheist battles Cthulhu; no stereotypical character settings. The protagonist is an atheist who can only rely on intelligence, high cognition, and a love of learning and research to navigate the gap between gods and a world full of believers. All the characters in the book are intelligent, and even the underlings aren't stupid; they value their lives. Treat them well, and they will support you. Gods also think, fix bugs, and ban cheat codes. The intellectual battles are mind-bending, with a slow start to develop character personalities. It abandons the God-like perspective, adopting a suspenseful mystery writing style. As the reader progresses, the characters acquire the same information as the reader, and their judgments and reasoning may be flawed, including the protagonist's. The story's background is similar to an era of warring states, involving the invasion of faith. The gods are all unique, with wildly imaginative concepts. The setting differs from other novels, incorporating the three laws of thermodynamics and a reversed celestial order. Suitable for readers who enjoy novelty and are tired of formulaic stories.

    After the earthquake, the world was plunged into endless darkness. Just when everyone thought it was just an ordinary earthquake disaster, just when everyone thought it was just a prank, a door appeared, emitting a cold and merciless voice: "Players, welcome to the post-apocalyptic world." Only then did the survivors realize that this was a "post-apocalyptic game" where survival was paramount. (Mind-bending, suspenseful, not overly sentimental, survival-oriented, and slightly thrilling throughout)

    Awakening from a thousand-year-old coffin in an ancient tomb, Chen Shixun finds himself with all his memories shattered. Trapped in fragmented recollections, a mysterious woman flickers in and out of existence, while seven ancient jade pieces stir up a millennium of history. A great emperor's quest for immortality, Xu Fu's eastward voyage concealing hidden secrets, and Bodhidharma's crossing of the Yangtze River held a different purpose—all these mysteries revolve around the ancient jade. As memories resurface, the truth is revealed: so-called immortality is nothing but bloody plunder; the divine power of the ancient jade can both redeem humanity and destroy the world. The person he so desperately seeks already carries a dual mission, teetering on the edge of good and evil. Venture into the ancient tomb, unravel the mysteries of time and space—a treasure hunt and game involving emperors, alchemists, and Buddhist monks begins.

    I recommend these two books. They're both infinite flow novels that incorporate folk elements, leaning towards ensemble casts. The main characters don't have a romantic partner, but they do have a team. The team members aren't just incompetent or background characters; the dungeons are very interesting, and the plot logic is clear and detailed.
