   I've read them all, but my personal favorites are the second and third books. The male protagonist is bound to a criminal system and uses a loophole to bravely enter the entertainment industry. His first acting role scares the crew so much they call the police. In the first book, the protagonist has a role-playing system, granting him the skills of different criminal characters each time, making each transformation feel real. In the second book, the protagonist wields a criminal system to enter the entertainment industry, his cheat codes all focused on killing people. His first acting role scares the crew so much they call the police, thinking he's actually committed murder. The third book combines a criminal system with the entertainment industry. The fourth book features a single female lead, and I especially love the scenes with the male protagonist, Zhao Gao.

    The first book features a protagonist who gains a "criminal system" at the start, but its bug prevents him from distinguishing between genuine crimes and charades. The author primarily focuses on the protagonist's criminal abilities and even creates a "bad guy list." It leans towards a "feel-good" novel style. The second book is a variety show actor-type novel about playing a villain. Compared to the first book, this one leans more towards urban comedy and slice-of-life themes. The so-called "criminal system" is more about enhancing the protagonist's acting skills. It belongs to the urban slice-of-life genre.
