    The first book features a supernatural protagonist and unfolds from their perspective, showing how to become one, completing dungeons, observing players' struggles within them, taking on various roles and challenges, and confronting individuals within the supernatural community.

    Are all three considered? The first one best fits the title and is highly recommended. It's a story told from a purely bizarre perspective, and the setting is very novel. I read the latest installment in one go and found it very interesting. I personally really liked the second one; it has a very strong non-human feel, but it's purely from a human perspective. [However, this one isn't at all saintly. The protagonist sides with humans because he becomes increasingly inhuman after his transformation, and he deliberately creates trouble to maintain his humanity.] The third one's writing style and pacing aren't as good as the previous two, but it also fits the title very well? It's a purely bizarre perspective, depicting the destruction of most of Earth's population and the enslavement of the rest. However, it leans towards an ensemble perspective, and the protagonist's individual agency isn't strong; it feels more like a natural disaster.

    A powerful and lingering Chinese horror experience | *Tianxuan Supernatural Agency* It's not ghosts that harm people; it's human greed, ignorance, and obsession that breed countless evils in the world. The eerie sounds echoing from empty buildings year-round, the deathly silence of mountain villages at night, the chilling aura emanating from old objects—all are signs of an imbalance between Yin and Yang. The Demon-Subduing Sword cannot eradicate the ugliness of the human heart, and the Thunder Seal cannot suppress worldly greed. Each bizarre case reveals the sinister side of humanity. The plot is restrained yet chilling, leaving a lasting impression. A must-read for supernatural enthusiasts.

    You might also like! Warnings: ① A classic male-oriented novel; currently, it's a fast-paced, enjoyable read. ② I personally think the plot is okay, but not recommended for those who prioritize character development. ③ Zhu Yan is an adorable character; initially told from a human perspective, later she becomes an ally of another human, which doesn't quite fit the theme, but it's still good. ④ A series of supernatural tales based on rules; these days, supernatural tales based on rules are really rare. ⑤ Similar to Part 2, only Part 5 is longer. The comparison between Part 2 and Part 5 might not be entirely accurate, as I read them together.

    The first book is a bizarre family story, featuring the main characters' father, mother, and brother. The older and younger brothers are the main characters, and the exploration of dungeons and the players and traps from the perspective of the bizarre is quite interesting. It's the ultimate guardian for those with brotherly affection. The second book's protagonist is now associated with the Flying Slime Cult due to his online name, haha. The world-building is relatively complete and grand, with details being added little by little. It's a pure description of the bizarre world, with the Great Bizarre establishing a transit point, which is the familiar God Space. I feel that players are more like tools to advance the plot and expand the world-building (this has an animated series, which is quite good). The third book introduces a relatively new type of bizarre: the human-bizarre symbiosis, a man-made bizarre. The author also wrote another book about the world's ruler, which you can also check out. The protagonist in that book is very intelligent and capable, and you can see how dungeons are gradually built and perfected, how bizarre beings improve themselves, and how they compete with players. The last book, as the title suggests, has two male protagonists: an amnesiac bizarre being and a chosen one, in Dihua.

    The protagonist of this book isn't a monster, but he is a demon. It wasn't explicitly stated earlier, but the tone is quite strange. It says that humans read a book title about how to become human. However, I really didn't expect the so-called villain to be non-human, directly opposing the main character. Ah, that's quite novel.
