These few books are all okay, but the first one was too perverted. I don't know what mental state the author was in when he wrote it. Someone maliciously suppressed the rating. The second one is like Weird World, which is okay. The third suspenseful and imaginative book does not have a heroine, so it is not brainless. The fourth murder case material is extremely meticulous in its modus operandi.

Not brainless! No Holy Mother! The first two books are for men without cp, and the last three are for women!! The protagonist is very strong, his IQ is online, and his logic is also strong. Some worlds are scary and make people think deeply (such as the human ranch in the second book...) The last three books also have emotional lines but are more plot-oriented, but they are so good to watch!!! (Screaming) (distorting) (crawling)
