   I think this book is really good. The author is very serious and dedicated in writing it. Although some of the games are obviously adapted from real-life games, I think the author put a lot of thought into it. He didn't just copy the games directly; he made his own adaptations. Also, the author's pacing is very fast, with no filler scenes. 🍉 Actually, I think it's really thoughtful of the author to add a game every day. Imagine how many games the author would have to write about! Unlike other books where a game might be delayed for two or three days, this book adds one every day, keeping the pace very fast. I hope the protagonist continues like this, without the Mary Sue vibe. This is exactly my style! 💕 (This book is somewhat like King's Game, but different. It's not a puzzle game; it's just real mini-games, although people die sometimes 😆)

   A female-oriented infinite dungeon-crawler genre, featuring deserted villages, sweet dreams, happy apartments… there's bound to be a world you'll love. Post-apocalyptic and infinite-flow elements coexist, with the world entering a survival challenge. The main theme is that everyone dreams, and dreaming leads to dungeons, with death methods corresponding to reality. Each dungeon is an independent world, focusing more on human nature. Some dungeon plots correspond to real-world stories. The female protagonist has high combat power, but her brain can't keep up—she acts first.
