   I'm a female reader, and this is a female-oriented novel, the only ghost story I've ever read. No romance, no system, no cheat codes! The emotions are rich and nuanced; after the horror, you feel endless sympathy for the NPCs in the ghost stories. So far, each arc has a sad ending, but everyone is ultimately redeemed!! It truly is a series of redemptions! Please prepare tissues! The female lead is clear-headed, strong, and has incredibly positive values!! The only downside is some typos, but they don't affect the reading experience. The parts involving background and rules are very meticulous. The most common typos are confusing "" (jìng jìng) and "" (jìrán) [laughing emoji]. There are many plot holes, but none are missed; they are all filled in!! I think 9.2 Is too low.

   1. **Intelligent!** The rules are straightforward and concise, with no obvious false rules. It's purely based on intelligence and logical reasoning. The characters aren't villains. They possess genuine intelligence. There are no special talents or superpowers. The national destiny is presented in a natural way, without excessive filler or annoying comments. The high-ranking officials are normal people, and there's no attempt to elevate the protagonist while simultaneously undermining the nation. The previous chosen ones were also excellent. The background settings within each rule-based mystery are relatively simple (the first one has an independent storyline), compared to the second book. 2. **Excellent storytelling.** The plot integrates rules with the story's setting, and each storyline is complete. There's no national destiny involved. The plot development is novel, making childhood memories feel terrifying 😱. Because it's closely integrated with the original setting, those unfamiliar with the original work (like SpongeBob SquarePants) might not remember the characters.

    I've read many infinite flow, rule-based supernatural tales on Tomato, and these few are the ones that truly require critical thinking. They don't rely on clichéd tropes; quality over quantity. In short, I highly recommend these three. I hope this is helpful to everyone. You can check my reading time; the storylines in these novels are all incredibly impressive, like reading on a certain online platform (no offense to Tomato).

    The "Rule-Based Ghost Stories" is a cyclical tale; the boss is inseparable from the apartment, and so is the protagonist. The core theme is quite good. A small self-recommendation: a short "Rule-Based Ghost Stories" story you can read in one go! [Kissing emojis]

    National destiny, strange rules, infinite flow protagonist Zhou Mo, a calm and madman who uses strategy to fight the bizarre, not relying on brute force, but on cunning to break the rules and manipulate the bizarre. Stable daily updates of two chapters. Warning: Horror, plot-driven puzzle-solving, level-based, not pure mindless action.

    You absolutely must read the first one! It's incredibly good. The main characters don't have a romantic partner, everyone is intelligent, and it's the kind of book that makes you want to scream with satisfaction. The plot is coherent, and the writing is superb. The second book is also very good, but it's not finished yet. The plot in the first few chapters is very dramatic, and the main character has a secret, but it's not revealed yet, so we can only speculate. Overall, it's also very good. I've read the beginning of the third book; the writing is good, and the plot is also excellent. You should check it out (you definitely have to read the first one!).
