    The first three are considered the "Big Three" of ghost stories by many. The fourth is a new book by the same author as the first, but it's currently on hiatus, so I wouldn't recommend following it now. The author implies a return, but it's unclear when. The fifth is a ghost story that fits the bill, and I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of cooperation and friendship between the nations depicted.

    "Rules of the Strange" is a must-read for those who don't mind reading it, or those who think the beginning of some books, like the third one, is just a template or a reference to national destiny and therefore think this book is mediocre. They'd be sorely mistaken. The stories in this book are all very engaging, highly recommended. It has a strong "rules of the strange" feel. The first and second books are somewhat similar to "rules of the strange" stories, but the premise is fresh and captivating from the start. It's very good, especially the second book, which is truly despairing. The ghosts [petrified] are unkillable. The fifth book is related to a wishing machine; whatever you wish for comes with a price. It's bizarre, immortal, and uses rules to fight rules. Recommended, but unfortunately, the author wrote too short a story, leaving me wanting more.

    Brothers, this is a must-read for Tomato! A must-read for those experiencing a reading slump! Here come four highly-rated novels that you'll want to binge-read even if it means staying up all night! First up is *The Gods' Fool's Play*! The gods have descended upon Earth, believe me! This book has an outrageously wildly imaginative plot! The protagonist starts as a priest, the "God of Deception," named Clown 🤡! He ends up causing chaos in a bunch of mystical faith games—while others revere the gods, he tricks, deceives, and outwits them, pulling off one crazy stunt after another that will leave you wanting more! The Cthulhu-esque world is incredibly captivating, with bizarre dungeons that feel like they're cheating, and the supporting characters are all ruthless, each with their own hidden agendas. The plot twists are so numerous you'll never guess what's going on! Over a million brothers are currently reading it; it's definitely a dark horse in the fantasy genre, a sure bet! The second book is *Until Death Do Us Part!*, A completed post-apocalyptic novel! Help! This post-apocalyptic novel is simply the pinnacle of "self-torture-style satisfying novels"! The protagonist, Fang Xiu, comes with an "infinite resurrection cheat," able to rewind time and again after each death. However, every dungeon is like a life-or-death struggle, with rules and supernatural tales that are more bizarre than the last. Not only are monsters chasing you, but you also have to rely on your intelligence to fight them off, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat! His character design is also incredibly compelling; he appears as calm as a rock on the surface, but is actually inwardly raging with complaints. His "breakdown flow" is both tragic and satisfying, the kind of story where you're being tortured while simultaneously screaming "Do it a million more times!" Although it's still being serialized, it's already received a 9.4 Rating, which is absolutely insane. Brothers who like post-apocalyptic + suspense, just go for it! You'll have to stay up all night to keep up with the updates! The third book, "Before Falling into Eternal Night," is a post-apocalyptic novel without a system! [All villains + a human drama] On the surface, they are classmates fighting side by side, but behind the scenes, they each have their own ulterior motives! Some betray their teammates to survive, while others risk everything for the truth. The most brilliant part is the "Chosen One" setting—those chosen by the gods can awaken supernatural abilities, but the price is eternal surveillance. While others use cheat codes to slay ghosts, the protagonist, Su Yuan, relies solely on his brains! During evening self-study, the blackboard suddenly displays the words in blood: "When the supernatural descends, death is the end." Then, campus ghost stories come true—a wardrobe that eats people, a senior in red wandering at midnight, the disappearing corpse of a classmate... Everyone's intelligence is on point; there are no overly virtuous characters or idiotic plots. Every escape will keep your heart pounding, making you want to stay up all night to finish it! "Deceiving the Gods!" Is a highly-rated rule-based novel—just go for it! It's insane! The protagonist, Shen Wang, is a pure rule-follower, going crazy in the God's Chosen Theater, treating the gods like tools. The dungeon rules are mind-bending and unconventional, with so many outrageous antics that they'll leave you speechless! The rules of the dungeons are even more mind-bending than murder mystery games: from "a castle where you can only tell lies" to "you can only pass the level by killing your past self", each dungeon is like playing "The Squid Game" + "Who's the Murderer". Shen Wang's methods of breaking the game are always counterintuitive, such as using "paradox" to drive the rule AI crazy, using "puns" to crack ancient spells, and so many crazy operations that you will wonder if the author's brain is in the atmosphere!
