   Story Summary: The first book is the one about the Illusionist. I absolutely love the Illusionist! Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Story Summary: The second book is also about acting, but he doesn't play many roles, and the ending is really abrupt. The beginning was just okay, but the ending was really bad. Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Story Summary: The third book is also about acting, and it also includes live streaming. Although it has two male leads, it's incredibly good. I absolutely love General Qin Kong, and my beloved Gao Heyi, my darling! *Sobs*

   The first two books feature an artist who plays a role similar to a magician! In the first book, the protagonist portrays a character resembling a magician, sets up a stage, and welcomes guests… a remarkably elegant yet eccentric individual. In the second book, the protagonist travels to another world, destroys the system, and assumes the role of an artist similar to a magician, humming in a hoarse voice… inspiring fear and dread… summoning players to serve him, eliminating them, prioritizing profit above all else.

    The first book's protagonist is incredibly handsome, elegant, a bit eccentric, and slightly insane at crucial moments; he's a lolicon, and possesses exceptionally high emotional intelligence while being shameless. The second book's story is fantastic, with one of the protagonist's role-playing templates almost a carbon copy of a magician. The third book features numerous role-playing templates and well-developed characters—five stars!!! The magician is awesome!!!

    The first book is a suspenseful, mind-bending survival story. It's already finished and incredibly good. The protagonist is so elegant, so incredibly elegant, yet without a hint of perversion or madness (*≧m≦*) I love it so much!!! The second book is similar to the one in "Vision," a role-playing story. It's also finished. It's relatively easy to finish in a few weeks, but you can stay up all night reading it. It's really good, really good \(//∇//)\ The third book is the one with the illusionist in it. It's super good, my white moonlight, a white moonlight accompanied by tears!!! The last book is also super good, also role-playing, and it's the kind that judges bad guys. It's super good, super good, and it's the second best one ^ω^
