   The first book didn't have any recurring supporting characters; it felt more like an episodic drama. The protagonist was a good guy who turned evil, and evil got its just desserts—very satisfying to read with no major flaws. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] The second book featured a villainous protagonist in a post-apocalyptic world where data was digitized. The protagonist, Chi You, was decisive and ruthless. In the early stages, he developed his strength ahead of the rest of the world. In the middle stages, he infiltrated the protagonist's group, appearing as a caring older brother on the surface, but secretly he was a ruthless killer known as "Frost Ghost," who had repeatedly massacred entire cities and was hated by everyone. He slowly weakened the protagonist's luck by taking measures against him, and finally succeeded in killing him. To be honest, I felt a little sorry for the protagonist towards the end, but it was incredibly satisfying. The chapters where he revealed his true identity and killed the protagonist were so exhilarating that I read them several times. Among all the villainous protagonists I've read, Chi You is definitely one of the most charismatic. He has clear goals and ruthless methods that are not vulgar. I remember being a little scared by Chi You's outrageous actions, afraid that the book would be investigated. [Facepalm] The third book is quite good; it's about a lone wolf focused on becoming stronger and decisive in killing. I'm currently reading it. The protagonist has family and cares about them, but all his family members die within a few chapters, serving at most as motivation for his growth. He has a former close friend, but the power gap is too large, so he doesn't have much screen time. As for the villainous organization he joins, the protagonist doesn't consider them his own; it's just a matter of mutual benefit, and he even plans to sabotage them. Even the seemingly close-knit Thousand Faces is always on guard. None of them have a romantic pairing (if they did, would he still be a lone wolf? [Thinking]).

    2025, Blue Star, Deep Blue City, 4 PM. Lin Feng sat on a park bench amidst the bustling crowd. Watching the men and women passing by, Lin Feng sighed helplessly. He had been here for three days. Lin Feng was gradually adapting to his new environment. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. In this world, Lin Feng was a 25-year-old unemployed youth. He currently rented an apartment in Phoenix Garden. Because he came from an orphanage, he was withdrawn and unsociable, with few friends. 'Ding, the True-to-False System is loading...' 'System loading complete, host binding complete, welcome to the True-to-False System...' A mechanical voice rang in Lin Feng's mind, bringing him back to reality. "The True-to-False System?"

    I only recommended two books, and they're both excellent! 😈 The first book has a rather detailed description of bloody massacres, so if you're sensitive to that, don't read it; it's not good for your heart. As for the second book, I think it's a bit of a shame. The ending felt rushed, and many plot points weren't resolved. But you won't regret reading it! Trust me, just read it and ignore the comments.
