(2) The characteristics of fragmented personality disorder are: a different perspective from ordinary people; they only perceive perfection in broken things. Complete things make them feel incongruous and uncomfortable. (3) Therefore, this type of personality disorder is extremely dangerous. If it develops, it will inevitably lead to murder, specifically by breaking people apart. Such people lack ordinary emotions; only fragmentation brings them pleasure.

    You, the Fallen God, are always the Fallen God. Unlike typical rule-based supernatural tales where the plot is easily predictable, the Fallen God truly remains forever in the atmosphere. He's not a saint; every step is calculated, full of traps. Even readers with an omniscient perspective might struggle to keep up. Among so many readers, not a single one has fully followed the protagonist's pace, and they might not understand his intentions until the very last moment. Don't run away if you were shocked by the opening; there's absolutely no explicit content, and the protagonist respects women! The writing style later on is truly excellent, and the scope is incredibly grand! Although I don't quite understand why the beginning and later parts of this book differ so drastically—the plot, writing style, and vocabulary all become increasingly sophisticated—the only drawback is that the first few chapters are truly unappealing. It feels like two completely different authors, and the one who dies at the beginning isn't the protagonist! In the first instance, do you think the woman the protagonist, with his saintly nature, didn't kill was useful? If you can't handle the shocking beginning, don't read on. There's no romance, no ambiguity, no system, and it's not like traditional rule-based supernatural tales where each country acts independently or engages in mindless mockery. The rules have logic; they don't require sacrifices or cheat codes to arrive at the answers (if you've read a few of these types, you'll know how rare it is for all these buffs to stack up).

    The first two are completed works by the same author. The author focuses on logic, the male lead is incredibly intelligent, and the supporting characters aren't unintelligent either. The author's "Legend" was a phenomenal success, and "Ten Days" not only continues the mind-bending style but also reaches new heights: "I am Qi Xia, and I'm about to start lying!" 😁😁😁 The third book is a post-apocalyptic story. The female lead is a citizen of the country, a great perspective, and she's also highly intelligent—not a zombie. Highly recommended! 😍😍😍 The fourth book is by Zi Jinchen; his name is his trademark! 🥰🥰🥰 The last book is a personal addition—a cultivation novel. If you're bothered by the female lead's personality, please ignore this. 😊😊😊

    A new book. The male protagonist pretends to be a big shot and eventually becomes one. It's an urban romance novel with a system. There are many female leads: mature women, married women, policewomen, CEOs, secretaries, flight attendants, mothers and daughters. The descriptions of stockings are very strong. The second book isn't particularly good. I'll keep it running for a while and read it if I don't like it. If you don't like it, you can scold me.
