   The first book seems to be updating a bit slowly, but its strength lies in its realistic details and strong sense of immersion! The protagonist of the second book is practically raised like a son by the supernatural [facepalm]. It seems to have been taken down many times; I hope it won't be taken down again. I haven't read much of the third book yet ^ω^, but judging from the plot foreshadowing in the early stages, the protagonist should also be someone who creates rule-based supernatural tales, but the protagonist just doesn't know it and doesn't remember it.

   ✨ [A Vicious Drama Beneath the Urban Undercurrents: God-Tier Props Weave a Crimson Spiderweb] When Pandora's Box transforms into the Marquardt Mask and Lilith's Blood Needle scatters across the city, the protagonist, with the hand of a "creator," manipulates the dominoes of desire—politicians wearing masks glimpse the corruption of power in the mirror, actresses injected with blood needles sprout mutated tentacles beneath the red carpet, each prop a key to unlocking the abyss of humanity. A tapestry of perspectives intertwines light and shadow; on the surface, the financial district is a scene of suits and ties, while in the shadows, the underground auction house is a hub of organ trafficking. Witness how the mastermind uses forbidden power to cook up civilization, weaving a web in the darkness that devours ambition.
