Let me share my own experience. Worldview: Countless fragments of otherworldly realms are stacked on Earth like building blocks. Each fragment is encased in a boundary membrane, forming an independent region called a "Stacked Realm." Rules: Search: Enter a Stacked Realm and plunder everything unique to that world—abilities, equipment, bloodlines, knowledge, even people. Fight: The native inhabitants view players as plunderers, leading to competition and looting among players; a loot-collecting mechanic exists. Escape: Escape points open before the Stacked Realm closes, with the number of slots always less than the number of players. Shrinking Circle Mechanism: Enter a Stacked Realm to search for supplies → Escape point announcement → Limited slots → Competition for escape → Successful escape results in settlement → Enter the Stacked Realm Source Port to rest → Enter the next Stacked Realm. Currently, I have completed the zombie world escape, formed an initial team, and entered the second Stacked Realm—Port City Nightmare (Republic of China Era, Alchemy Elements).

"Gods Forbid the Resurrection of Outer Gods" is available on Tomato (a Chinese web novel platform). It has 127 chapters, 260,000 words, and is a Cthulhu-themed outer god story. The third volume, the climax, is currently being updated. The previous two volumes have laid the groundwork, and all the foreshadowing will begin to unravel in the third volume. The sequence system, divine remains, and god slayers—these aren't gimmicks; they're the solid world-building developed over 100 chapters. I've never posted on the reader forum before; this is my first time. I was hesitant to post before because I felt I hadn't written enough, but now that I have 127 chapters, I feel I've done enough.
