Except for the second book, all are non-romantic, featuring ensemble casts but primarily focusing on the male protagonist – a normal, ordinary male lead with no wish-fulfillment elements, suitable for both male and female readers! 1️⃣: The protagonist enters a world set in an online game era, with a grand, epic storyline. In this game world, which has been developing for millennia, class stratification is rigid, new players are worthless, and ordinary people struggle for survival. The protagonist has a powerful cheat ability, allowing him to carve out a bloody path from among countless ordinary people and reshape the class system. (Extensive world view + combination of Eastern and Western online games + ensemble cast) 2️⃣ (A slightly ambiguous romantic subplot, less than 0.05% Of the entire book, with mutual attraction that doesn't affect the reading experience) The only true god who has returned from the past, a micro-Kernel system in the new world view + similar sequence abilities. (The ensemble cast features well-developed, non-stereotypical characters) 3️⃣ The world view is comparable to Warhammer 40k, with the male protagonist being the only source of salvation. All other faiths are considered sinful and corrupt, but the male protagonist brings new light. (Savior + Strong Abilities + Ensemble Cast + New Worldview) 4️⃣ A world teeming with strange phenomena. The protagonist uses his abilities to help ordinary people survive. His magic is inherently eerie, but the people believe in him. Therefore, this is a world where the evil god isn't so evil after all. 5️⃣ Warhammer universe. If you haven't read it, just think of it as a Despair universe. The author's portrayal of the characters' humanity is excellent, leaving the reader feeling like they're bathed in afternoon sunlight. The protagonist is optimistic and positive, a model young man with impeccable character. Every character strives to fight against evil forces. (Gacha system + grand narrative + friendly reading atmosphere; both the author and readers are very friendly.)

Or, for him, killing is sometimes a very difficult choice.
