   The first book isn't entirely Cthulhu-themed, haha, more like semi-invincible. Overall, it's okay. The second book is also semi-invincible, but the ratings for the first two are quite low, probably due to some flaws. The third book is highly recommended; I've finished it. It initially leans towards Cthulhu, but later focuses on philosophy and self-reflection. The fourth book is about summoning the male protagonist as a summonable creature. The protagonist is Cthulhu-oriented and indeed quite invincible, but it doesn't align with what readers want. I don't know about the fifth book. It's indeed quite invincible, but not Cthulhu-themed. However, the Cthulhu-oriented protagonist isn't invisible or inaudible, but he's genuinely strong. Regarding the sixth book, I want to criticize the protagonist's power level. It's inconsistent in the early stages, and then the protagonist is restricted in the middle. However, the early stages are particularly enjoyable. If you want a fast-paced, action-packed story, you can read this one, but be moderate in the middle and later stages.

    Brothers, I'm recommending a mind-blowing, super-powerful novel! The protagonist, Ji Ye, has awakened an "Abyss Filter," seeing everything as an everyday object. 👉 While others are terrified of the Headless Horseman, he thinks he's a dedicated deliveryman and even gives him a tip! 👉 While others are scared out of their wits by the sight of a deep-sea monster, he thinks she's a drowning girl, rescues her, and then forces her to sing a square dance! 👉 The most outrageous thing is that when the King in Yellow comes looking for trouble, he treats him like a performance artist, forcibly drags him into his house to play a murder mystery game, and then criticizes the script for its illogicality! Now, in his yard, a demigod is guarding the gate, a ghost king is mopping the floor, and an S-class monster is unclogging the sewers… Everyone's a villain (scratch that), everyone's a working stiff! Want to see how the protagonist uses a mop to physically exorcise the entire universe? "I Handed Over the Unspeakable Things," you won't regret it, you'll laugh your head off!

    I highly recommend *Abandoned City Announcement: Kisame Has Emerged, Gods Beware!* As a Cthulhu enthusiast, I recently discovered an amazing novel, *Abandoned City Announcement: Kisame Has Emerged, Gods Beware!*, And I absolutely must recommend it to everyone! The novel perfectly blends Cthulhu elements with cyberpunk and urban martial arts, creating a world full of the unknown and terror. The story is set in a wasteland city, where technology and decay intertwine, and beneath the neon-lit surface lie the maddening beings of the Cthulhu Mythos. The protagonist's character is also captivating; in this perilous world, he constantly seeks the truth and confronts various terrifying entities. The novel's Cthulhu horror atmosphere is exceptionally well-crafted; the unknown and incomprehensible fear will send chills down your spine while reading. If you also enjoy Cthulhu-style novels, then *Abandoned City Announcement: Kisame Has Emerged, Gods Beware!* Is an absolute must-read! Join me in immersing yourself in this world of extreme terror.
