   Highly recommend this one! It's a dark school novel! Everyone's a villain, and the characters all have twisted minds. The male lead is the manipulative type, while the female lead is innocent (not kind). There's no romantic pairing, and the content is somewhat bizarre. You might want to check it out!

    I'm not so sure about new themes, but I have a bunch of new books here, six of which have over a million reads each, and others with at least 400,000 reads each. Whether they're new themes or not is hard to say, because they've already written about every imaginable and even unimaginable setting. 😂

    A truly unique work! Forged from over a thousand days of painstaking effort, *Seven Days to the End: Time Hunter* is most ruthless in that it transforms a tale of supernatural rules into a collapse of cognition. The triple conceptual trials aren't just challenges; they peel away the layers of "what you believe to be reality." The suffocating feeling of existence being erased doesn't rely on gore, but on the cold-bloodedness of logic itself. The high-stakes intellectual battles don't dull the characters; instead, they forge strong emotional bonds in the face of adversity. Nearly three million words, every chapter has a twist, but few are merely for the sake of twisting. It's not a feel-good story; it's a time trial that will leave you pondering its meaning long after you finish reading.
