   The last two books, along with the first two, are ones I've read recently, all featuring romantic pairings. I've mostly forgotten the others I read before, haha. The first book has a female lead who's a celestial master; the second has a female lead who's a very strong magician; the third has a male protagonist with a sickly beauty; the fourth has a female NPC curator; the fifth… well, check them out if you're interested. The last two are different: one features a female lead who's the daughter of a terrifying boss and is completely subdued; the other features two men, a pure vampire and a half-vampire, who can contend with the horror world.

Watch how he thrives in a world of supernatural tales centered around rules. The second book is a supernatural tale with two male leads.

Watch how he sweeps through supernatural tales with unstoppable momentum. The third book is an infinite flow story with two male leads.

The story blends post-apocalyptic and infinite flow elements, with the entire world entering a survival challenge. The central theme is that everyone dreams, and these dreams lead to dungeons where death corresponds to real-world scenarios. Each dungeon is an independent world, focusing more on human nature.
