   Reader note

   *Backrooms*: A dream-centric horror novel with rigorous logic and writing style, suitable for readers outside the fantasy genre. *The Mysterious Dream City*: The author enjoys foreshadowing and subtle plot lines; the protagonist's perspective is intelligent, and the first arc features a well-placed plot twist. The "twin blossoms" (referring to the characters Ye Niaoniao and Ye Yiyi) setting is novel. *Slaying Ghosts*: I haven't had much time to read it, but I recommend the stories about pseudo-humans. *Before Falling into Eternal Night*: The author excels at delivering heartbreak; the supporting characters are vividly portrayed, such as Song Xiaoxia, whose early character is incredibly moving. She has a warm family, and although she's not academically gifted, she's an excellent singer (having participated in competitions). Her most captivating quality is her fearlessness in the face of challenges. "Song Xiaoxia bit her red lips tightly, tears welling in her eyes, her chest heaving. 'No... No need, Mom, I just missed you... Don't come, it's too late, I... I'm fine, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Lights out soon, I'm going to sleep... Goodnight, Mom.' — But he clearly realized that the person standing in front of him wasn't his sister, but a terrifying demon. He could only watch helplessly as he walked towards his death. How cruel... You're so timid, how scared you must have been!" "Waking Up: I'm Burdened with 40 Murder Cases": Suspenseful and supernatural, high-energy from the very beginning! Deduction + crime solving. "After reading this diary entry, Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. This entry was written ten years ago, and there were more chapters to come. He hurriedly flipped to the next chapter, the contents of which were similar to the previous one, all about how to commit murder. 'No way? Don't mess with me, did I transmigrate into this guy's body?'" *Death Chamber*: The protagonist is a special crime scene cleaner who goes on a mission to a rented house in the east of the city during the Ghost Festival, only to discover that the deceased is his ex-girlfriend... "In the bathroom, someone tapped my shoulder three times from behind. I subconsciously turned around and looked at Xia Meng standing behind me. 'What are you doing?' I looked at her blankly. She also looked at me with some confusion: 'What's wrong?' I panicked and hurriedly asked: 'Why did you tap me just now?'" *Did You Successfully Check into the Survival Hotel Today?*: Infinite flow + strong female lead + tight and complete dungeon plot + suspenseful mystery. "... Cheng Miao seemed to feel a chilling aura enveloping her... This isn't a story of a contemporary college student mistakenly turned into a serial killer by feudal superstition. This is clearly the story of a demon who achieves immortality by eating children, living for centuries without changing its appearance." *The Real Escape Club*: Suspenseful, mind-bending, system-based, infinite flow. The protagonist joins an escape club to survive. The once-prosperous Sunshine Noble School, now in a moderately polluted area, is desolate outside, but brand new inside. The children's faces in the student photos were indistinct, replaced by flower buds. Even the head teacher seemed to have become strange... "Her eyes had turned into compound eyes like an insect's! Her body was covered in eerie downy hair! A straw hat and jeans made her look like a gardener trimming flowers! Her gaze was fixed on the children around her, full of greed and longing, and even saliva dripped from her insect-like mouthparts!" *Thriller: I Only Sell Haunted Houses*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist is a real estate agent who accidentally sells a haunted house. Afterwards, he encounters terrifying things: a little girl searching for Li Xiumei, strange high-heeled shoe prints... And finally, discovering a corpse hidden behind the back of the wardrobe! "Behind the wardrobe, the wall, originally painted white with latex paint, was now swollen, as if soaked in water. And the swollen areas perfectly outlined a human figure! There really was a corpse hidden inside this wall!" *The Ghost Patrolman*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family makes a living off the dead, and he's dealt with corpses since childhood, witnessing all sorts of bizarre deaths. The story begins with the discovery that a little girl's corpse was pieced together from two bodies! "A bizarre thought suddenly popped into my head: 'This corpse... Could it really be the Lin family girl?' But I was certain that the face before me was definitely not Lin's. Although both were very beautiful, their appearances were quite different. Lin had a round face, which made her look very gentle. This girl, on the other hand, had a classic oval face, with small, delicate eyes and nose. It was more like... A composite of two people. It was as if... The torso was Lin's, while the head and limbs belonged to someone else!" *The Ghostly Grave (Heavenly Marriage)*: A suspenseful supernatural story. The protagonist's family is destined to be poor for generations because a ghost of poverty is buried in their ancestral grave. The eldest and second eldest brothers both died tragically, and the father died suddenly beside the ancestral grave while digging up the ghost's tomb. The protagonist was born on the 14th of the lunar calendar at 4 AM, and is known as the child of calamity! The protagonist finally reached eighteen, and his sister picked him up to go home. But on the way back, he received a phone call from her… "I tried to get up to see better, and my elbow hit the tricycle! My elbow sank in, and when I looked closely, I almost fell off. This tricycle was made of paper! It looked like a paper cart burned for the dead." *I Work as a Haunted House Sleep Tester*: A supernatural suspense story. The protagonist works at a real estate company. After assaulting a colleague, he was transferred from sales to working as a haunted house sleep tester. On his first day, the department manager told him that a senior employee would contact him that evening and give him a trial day. The protagonist never expected that this senior employee was actually the sister of the person who had put him in jail! However, what I didn't expect was that the manager suddenly messaged him asking if he was in the villa on Moonlight Road... "Just as I was starting to suspect her, suddenly, Lao Wang messaged me. I glanced at the message and was immediately shocked. 'Li Mu, you fucking answer the phone! Where are you right now? Are you in that villa on Moonlight Road?' 'If you are, run right now!'" *Welcome to the Global Weird Paradise*: Suspenseful and Supernatural + Story Collection + Multiple Protagonists + Short Stories. The first story is a short story about personality settings. At first glance, you might think it's about imprisonment and survival, but it turns out to be about one person's multiple personalities, with unexpected twists, novel settings, and a tight plot. "Why not just stuff it in directly? And what's the point?" A thought suddenly popped into his mind, unexpected and startling. Could it be... They weren't in the next room, but in their own? *Demon Colony*: Suspenseful, imaginative, bizarre, grand worldview, system. The protagonist transmigrates to a world filled with "gods." When the protagonist refuses to worship the "gods," his originally gentle and loving parents carefully hold his grandfather's sacrificial entrails, excitedly declaring him a heretic. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the burning flesh candle and incense. He couldn't discern anything from the incense. But when he saw the flesh candle, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened instantly. That, that, that's... Inside that flesh candle, it's... It's a small fingernail! *Soul-Crossing Lamp*: Suspenseful, supernatural, female-oriented, first-person perspective. The female protagonist is born with fire in her destiny, naturally prone to misfortune. To survive, she crawls into a graveyard and sleeps with corpses for three years. The author's writing is fluent, combining horror with wit and humor. The episodic format and fast-paced ghost-hunting make the plot tightly paced. "I tried to pull at that clump of stuff, but I couldn't get it off. Seeing my brother's head almost submerged in the water, I panicked and jumped in too, trying to pull him out with both hands. But when I saw what was wrapped around my brother's feet in the moonlight, I was horrified. It wasn't seaweed at all; it was a tangled mess of long hair!" *The Misty Mountain* is a suspenseful supernatural thriller with a well-developed mystery and crime-solving atmosphere. The plot is fast-paced, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the reader is left wanting more. The protagonist is a police officer in Liangshui Village, and the story begins with a bizarre "pig eating a person" case. "'Grunt... Snort...' The large, fat pig, huddled against the wall, grunted restlessly, and the pigs in the other cubicle also became agitated. Yellow urine flowed from the pigpen, followed by bright red blood." *The Comic Book Predicts the Murder*: This suspenseful mystery novel shares some similarities with the film *Murder Toy*, featuring a comic book predicting a murder. The pacing is slow, but the plot is intricately woven. The Pearl Mountain case, the alleyway arson case... It all started with Qiu Yue's disappearance... "Xi Xi, enduring the nausea from the pills, patted her little chest to comfort herself: 'Xi Xi, be a good girl and take your medicine, you'll see your mother when you get better.' Xu ​​San's face darkened. 'Your mother doesn't want you anymore, and you still want to see her?' Tears welled up in Xi Xi's eyes, but she held back her voice. Xu San looked at her bald head. 'Your hair is growing a bit, Daddy will shave it for you.' Xi Xi frantically covered her head: 'Xi Xi wants her hair to grow long, she wants to braid it.'" *Starting as an Apprentice to Uncle Nine*: A suspenseful and imaginative story + Uncle Nine universe + a protagonist who levels up and is decisive in killing. The style retains the flavor of Uncle Nine's movies, the original characters are not out of character, and it's both terrifying and humorous. "Her eyes, her eyes, shone like stars. I saw them, I saw them, I saw them, I saw them, and my heart pounded with fear. In the dark woods, four paper figures carried a red sedan chair at breakneck speed. Looking closely, their feet didn't even touch the chair; instead, a beautiful female ghost dressed in red sat on it." *Code Name: Bone Butterfly*: A suspenseful, mind-bending crime-solving novel with a short runtime—the kind you could finish in the bathroom—but the plot is tightly woven and complete. I especially love Ye Shuyun; calm and rational, she throws herself into the investigation to uncover the truth behind her younger sister's death. "Then, she began to examine the abdominal organs, liver, spleen, kidneys... When she examined the right kidney area, her movements suddenly stopped! Something was wrong! She carefully and repeatedly touched and observed, and then she suddenly looked up at Lao Zhou, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror: 'Lao Zhou! Her right kidney... Is gone!'" "Let You Talk About Classics Live, You Say Dream of the Red Chamber is a Ghost Book": Suspenseful and supernatural + live streaming. It's clear the author has read a lot; the classic setting is unique, and reading it later will really give you the creeps. The protagonist is a failed bookseller who, after taking a nap while organizing his inventory, finds his mind flooded with strange knowledge… "'An empty hall, deserted and still, is a mourning hall. Withered grass and barren ground, is a graveyard.' 'Spiderwebs covering the carved beams, are long-abandoned haunted houses.' 'Therefore, besides using the monk and Taoist priest performing a ritual to allude to the story of *Dream of the Red Chamber* being a ghost story,' 'this ghost poem also tells all readers in just a few lines…' 'All the scenes in this book are desolate graveyards, abandoned mourning halls—deadly landscapes!'"

    Brothers, I'm recommending a mind-blowing, super-powerful novel! The protagonist, Ji Ye, has awakened an "Abyss Filter," seeing everything as ordinary objects. 👉 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!
