   "If only I could learn martial arts from a young age in this manor," the little beggar said, "I'd surely become a renowned hero in the martial world!" He twirled his wooden sword in a clumsy flourish, then proudly raised an eyebrow at the middle-aged man in blue beside him. "Impressive," the blue-robed swordsman smiled and gave a thumbs-up. The little beggar proudly raised his head: "As expected of a young hero meeting a great master! I have such a grand presence!" That day, a lone swordsman danced in a humble alley, his aura shaking the heavens. Years passed in the blink of an eye. A white-haired swordsman sat with his sword across his knees, arms hanging naturally. Within a ten-mile radius, the remains of demons lay scattered. The swordsman tried desperately to wipe away the blood before his eyes, but both his arms were severed, and his vision blurred. He smiled tremblingly: "Tell me, haven't I become a great hero?" In a daze, a blue-robed swordsman slowly approached the swordsman. When they met again, countless years had passed. The young man of yesteryear had turned white-haired, and the great swordsman, though old and frail, still had a head of black hair. "How is it, still the young man meeting the great swordsman?" The old man asked with a smile. The white-haired swordsman smiled faintly: "It should be the young man meeting the great swordsman." He closed his eyes peacefully and laughed heartily: "Famous throughout the martial world, yet fallen on the plains of the demon realm, I have not been unworthy of the sword, nor unworthy of the swordsman."

    These two are both supernatural tales based on rules, and I've read quite a few horror livestream novels. Unfortunately, they either have a ton of female supporting characters or the protagonist's intelligence fluctuates wildly. The next three are subjective; they're not particularly good, but still readable. Don't apply Resident Evil to the real world. I wasn't originally planning to recommend Round Table Game because of its poor ending, but I'm including it anyway. As for simulation games, I stopped reading after the Republican era arc. Infinite Deduction has too many foreshadowing elements for my brain to handle, and the dorm room livestream novel is incredibly angsty—it's angsty for the sake of angst, and the protagonist is truly pitiful. I hope these suit your taste. Since you invited me to recommend some, how could I not include a couple?
