   Do you think this is full of good books, all rated 9 points or higher? If you don't like them, come and hit me! I'm recommending my best books to you, isn't that impressive? 1️⃣ A supernatural tale with rules, so good it's explosive! The protagonist is intelligent. The beginning is a transitional chapter, but in the later chapters, you won't understand what the protagonist is doing. Readers will say they need to use their brains. It's my favorite. 2️⃣ If you're looking for an invincible novel, check this one out. The protagonist is truly miserable [facepalm]. Broken arms and legs are commonplace. In the first dungeon, he was almost sacrificed. In the second dungeon, his heart was grabbed by a ghost, and he almost died. In another dungeon, he was turned into a human. 3️⃣ The title suggests an elegant protagonist, but once you read it, you'll find that he seems a little bit crazy and abnormal (doge). It's also very good. I sincerely give it a big thumbs up [thumbs up][thumbs up]. 4️⃣ Also good. The protagonist has another personality, an evil god, who is also very crazy. Evil god: I represent absolute rationality, you represent absolute madness. Honestly, if the protagonist hadn't been so reckless, he wouldn't have been able to complete one of those dungeons. Not bad [thumbs up] 5⃣️ This must be an older book, right? Most people start reading horror books from this one; if you haven't read it, you're probably missing out (no offense intended). Anyway, Blood Bro is awesome! 6⃣️ A rule-based ghost story. This one isn't too scary, suitable for beginners. It's like a typical brain-depressing novel, but not too bad, not exceptionally good, but not terrible either. Just passable. 7⃣️ This is also a rule-based ghost story. Not bad. It doesn't follow other people's ideas; it's about a very patriotic citizen, and not too evil. 8⃣️ Not bad, just too few chapters. It's completed, so it's worth reading. The original title was something like "The Fraudster's Madness" (I think, I can't quite remember). The emotional portrayal was very well done; it made me cry for a long time. Highly recommended for those who haven't read it. Humanity! The immortal humanity! —Excerpt from "Human Ranch". Ah Niang Village, Ah Niang is wonderful, Ah Dad goes to bed early every day... — Excerpt from "Ah Niang Village" 9⃣️ There's not much to say about this one, just ordinary real-life ghost hunting for everyone to see, the kind that might lead to death, but some of the questions in it are still quite interesting. 🔟 This book is very good, but I haven't read it for a while, so I've forgotten some of the content. But believe me, I will definitely reread it when I have time, because it's so interesting!!! Trust my judgment, after reading so many books over the years, it's definitely a 6 out of 10. Everyone must check it out!!!

    These are all incredibly good books! I'm quite picky about books, but these ones really suit my taste. The main characters in all of them are intelligent and not overly sentimental, and the supporting characters are also very vividly written. The first one, "Midnight Nightmare," has no female lead, no cheat codes, and the protagonist isn't invincible later on. It tells the story of Wang Yan returning home to find a murder in his own house, and the victim is himself. He then has to constantly enter elevators to complete tasks in nightmare worlds, experiencing constant high pressure. Back in reality, he also has to face ghosts at his doorstep. The plot is quite terrifying; it gave me chills. You need to use your brain while reading, otherwise, you'll be completely confused. The second one is an ensemble piece. The female lead is very strong, and the supporting characters are also very vividly written. You can read it as a fast-paced, enjoyable read. There aren't any jarring cheat codes, and the protagonist's strength isn't used to weaken others. Everyone is strong, and it's the kind of story where everyone grows and progresses together. If you like ensemble pieces, you should check it out. The third story is one of the few I've read on Tomato that's so nuanced. Every character is a fully fleshed-out soul, the plot is mostly cheerful and realistic, making it easy to immerse yourself in the story, unlike other stories that are just a stream of consciousness. Many characters who only appear in one or two chapters leave a lasting impression. There are a lot of heart-wrenching moments, and it leans towards an ensemble cast. Those interested can check it out. The fourth story has a romantic subplot between the male and female leads, and the "God and Deer" couple is very sweet. Both characters are intelligent and strong, making them evenly matched. Each level is innovative, not the typical old-fashioned horror/endless flow story. The twin level is my favorite!! It's really innovative (I won't spoil it here). You need to use your brain to read it. The fifth story has a deeper meaning. It's not just a one-sided escape game; it actually reflects the weaknesses of human nature while also praising the good side of humanity. The author handles the romance well, subtly and gradually. The female lead doesn't blindly rely on the male lead; she has her own way of solving problems. It's a story of two strong characters. Those interested can check it out.

The second book is also hilarious, getting increasingly touching towards the end—a strong recommendation! The third book is truly excellent, especially the part with Wanwan; it really brought tears to my eyes! The protagonist in the fourth book, Su Li, is absolutely adorable; I'd call him the king of the ultimate weirdo! Especially the fifth book, my first "Rules of the Strange," where no one can resist the cunning Gu Yi—he's my wife!!! Don't try to take him from me!
