   1. The protagonist is intelligent and slightly scary; although he has some advantages, it's not a straightforward victory with some reasoning. 2. Blood Promise: Back in the day, I had all nine eyes open. 3. The story is long, but the writing is good. 4. It's not finished yet, but each story has a plot twist, and I really want the eighth book. I can read it when I'm looking for something to read, but waiting for updates is annoying. 5. God's Game. 6. Just like the title suggests, the protagonist, a golden tricycle, and a ghost baby live in a horror world because they don't want to deal with the authorities. It's funny and the writing is good. 7. You probably all know this. 8. Like in section four, the protagonist becomes a con artist; if someone believes him, it will come true. There are many plot twists, and some parts may have illogical points, but it's still very good.

No female lead, no romantic subplots, the male lead is intelligent, the villains are clever, there are no cheat codes or special abilities, and while the other teammates have top-tier talents, the male lead only gets a C-rank talent. There's no "protagonist halo"—it's all about intelligence. It's truly different from typical rule-based ghost stories. The dungeons are also very interesting; they're interconnected, not just single instances. There's no livestreaming or national events.

    This is absolutely amazing! The author's writing is superb, and it's a thriller-filled infinite flow story. Readers will fall in love with the male lead even before the characters do. The plot is incredibly captivating. There are some alternate identities, but the male lead is extremely handsome and charismatic, like the first snowflakes in the cold night—cold yet with a glimmer of light. He's subtly eccentric, but the tension is incredibly strong (he ultimately becomes the person he created for himself). There's a bit of madness, the plot is incredibly satisfying with its many layers of suspense, all intricately linked. Just look at the ratings; it's definitely worth a try! A ten-year veteran reader strongly recommends it! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Me too][Me too][Sending hearts][Sending hearts]

    The first book, I was drawn in by the synopsis. The protagonist is highly intelligent, neither a saint nor cold-blooded, the main characters work well together, and the suspenseful atmosphere is exceptionally well-crafted. The author is very good at foreshadowing. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] The overall plot is smooth, and the writing is delicate. It's one of Tomato's few high-quality horror novels.
