   Research suggests that even the scariest novels have a brain reaction time and processing time, so they can't truly scare the brain. Only music that evokes instinctive resistance/fear, eerie environments, and sudden visuals can truly frighten the brain. This is because you know something is about to happen, but you're curious about what will happen. When a sudden, eerie scene hits the brain directly, the brain can't process visual information directly. The brain can't handle the sudden influx of information, so it's instinctively frightened.

    For those of you experiencing a reading slump, I highly recommend a newly signed gem: *Transmigrating into a Bizarre Dungeon and Becoming a Rule NPC*. This isn't your typical mindless action novel; it truly takes the "rule-based fantasy" genre to a whole new level!

He not only has to maintain the dungeon's operation but also deal with "pro players" trying to exploit bugs and the "god" manipulating everything behind the scenes. The most exciting part is: the protagonist uses his NPC identity to manipulate everything from behind the scenes, turning each terrifying dungeon into his own "playground."
