1. 401 北 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Northern School 北派盗墓笔记 Yun Feng云峰Mystery4.5M WordsOngoing [Published in print and available online] [The Beipai Notes horizontal-screen drama is now streaming] [Tomb Raiding + Mystery + Antiques] I'm a poor kid from a mountain village in Northeast China.

2. 402 无 Infinite Nightmares: Where's My Golden Finger in This Paranormal World? 无限噩梦：我在诡异里的金手指呢 Cabbage Pitcher卷心蔡投手Mystery147k WordsOngoing [Infinite Flow + No Romance + Plot-Driven + Mild Horror + Mystery] Lin Jiu is a struggling paranormal livestreamer. That is, until he enters an old apartment building where an elderly woman is laid out for her wake. The person in the coffin counts heads. The mandarin ducks on the red wedding dress have no eyes. In every mirror, another you is standing there. This is a Chinese-style infinite-flow horror scenario. There is only one way to survive: Don't break any taboos. Not even one. 31Reads—Score101Shelves

   Reader note

   The biggest takeaway from reading this bizarre infinite flow novel is that survival is anything but easy. There are no superpowers bestowed upon you, and no system providing standard answers. The dungeons are full of disguises and misleading elements; what you see isn't always the truth. Character deaths aren't just for sensationalism; many are caused by their own choices. The overall tone is oppressive and realistic, suitable for readers who can handle high levels of survival pressure and lack lighthearted moments.

   Reader note

   I recommend a novel by Tomato, a work of infinite flow fiction called *I Was Livestreamed by an Unknown God*. It perfectly fits your criteria of "horror dungeons + hardcore reasoning + high intelligence without cheating." The dungeons are a combination of rule-based supernatural tales, a slightly terrifying livestream, and Cthulhu elements. It doesn't rely on close-up scares, but rather on chillingly detailed rule settings that will send shivers down your spine. For example, the first dungeon has rules like "no fast movement or heavy breathing," and "if you see a woman in red, go up and hug her"—how to break free from the brink of suffocation is all about hardcore maneuvering. The protagonist, Chen Xi, is a "switch-on madman"—normal and rational most of the time, but after activating a certain item, his mindset changes, but he becomes unconscious and injured afterward. Each time he breaks free, it's not through cheating, but through a precise understanding of human nature. A classic battle involves winning against a village of monsters with "rock-paper-scissors," and a four-layered, nested deception driving his opponent to the brink of collapse. If you enjoy psychological warfare and logical deduction, this book will definitely satisfy you. The foreshadowing is meticulously resolved later; details that seem unremarkable in the early chapters will resonate after dozens of chapters. In short, if you enjoy watching the protagonist use their intelligence to break through twisted rules, this book is worth reading.
