   The first book's protagonist eats people; Chapter 4 was constantly being censored while I was reading it. The second book, by Yi Zi Ge, is a bit perverted and slightly lewd before chapter 200, but once you see "carrying a knife but no umbrella in the rain," you're fine; the later parts are truly amazing. The third book, by Lin Yi, I don't know how to evaluate him; he's not completely insane, and there's a bit of humor, but it's really good!! The fourth book's protagonist is very perverted—I'm not referring to a murderous pervert, but a literal pervert; there's even a live stream. The fifth book! I absolutely love it! No one can resist Xiao Fu Shen's charm in his suits! I love when he wears a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses! It's a pity it got dirty; Xiao Fu Shen is a germaphobe, no romantic pairing, and there's also a live stream—come read it! You'll definitely be captivated by Xiao Fu Shen's linguistic charm!! The sixth book, by the Illusionist, is amazing! The ultimate in elegance and madness, the edge of rationality, the protagonist playing many villains and being broadcast live—yet I can say it's anything but bland; the elusive allure of the con artist; the wild charm of the martyr; the dream master's contest within the dream world; Gu Zheng's ultimate intellect… Life is worth living.

At first, I didn't find it strange, but towards the end, I even wanted to try eating human flesh myself (I might have become a psychopath). The second book features an extremely insane protagonist, and the entire group is mad. The protagonist's most prominent characteristic is his madness; his laughter is terrifying, frightening both ghosts and humans. When he's not laughing, he's incredibly handsome and elegant, but his laughter is absolutely terrifying. This one is streamed live. I highly recommend reading both of these.

"And now I have the power to battle all of you in entertaining fire!"

    These are the few books on the shelf that fit the criteria: elegant + mad, or livestreaming, or crossdressing. There were a few others before, like *Overturning the World*, *Tomb Raider, I'm in the Sky, Come Find Me*, and another one where the protagonist transmigrates into the body of a young master from another world, performs piano in a village but is killed by the entire village. After waking up, he can control thorns and appears on Earth in a virtual game format. All the protagonists are incredibly elegant yet insane. Lastly, the Illusionist is so cool, yyds!
