   The first book seems somewhat related to the title, but I found it lacking in elegance. The rest are quite perverse, and they all have high ratings. I suggest reading the later books; afterwards, you'll find that no one around you is normal, and eventually, you'll realize that you're not normal either. \( ͯω ͯ)/

   Reader note

   I highly recommend the first book, and only the first one. The other two are just filler, and I haven't read the third one myself. This book was heavily penalized with low ratings; most of the reviews are negative. The protagonist isn't elegant, but the writing is delicate and quite twisted. Synopsis: I was abandoned by the system, so I started taking revenge. No matter what kind of monsters or demons you are, they'll all die! The system is powerful? Nothing in my eyes. With my hammer in hand, I fear no one. Character traits: Mentally ill. The first-person perspective vividly portrays the protagonist's mental illness. Protagonist relationship: The protagonist and the hammer. Genre: This is a bit difficult to categorize. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ (This is one of the few books by Tomato that truly stands out, and its subject matter is absolutely unprecedented. The author is very daring in his ideas and writing. The book is full of detailed descriptions, and the plot is consistent throughout. The protagonist's character is very memorable. Highly recommended.)
