    I recommend this one. It's alternative and niche, not a wish-fulfillment story, no fantasy elements, no romantic pairings, and selective in its readership. It's a science fiction novel with a dream-centric core, using dreams to analyze psychology. The logic is sound and withstands scrutiny, with rich imagination and profound philosophical thought! Besides the deep application of psychology and neuroscience, it also extends to physics and mathematics, such as using infinite fractals and Mandelbrot sets to explain the boundaries of thought, grafting ancient Egyptian mythology onto the artificial reincarnation of a future world, and using the Monge theorem to locate "deep space of consciousness"... I love some of the sentences! "Loneliness is the innate nature of humanity." "Even in the general universe, there are no fellow human beings, only those who seek their kind." "'Sweet dreams' is the most common blessing, and also the most sincere farewell." "May you always maintain absolute sovereignty over your spiritual territory on the boundary between wakefulness and sleep. When setting sail, may you be as calm as if at an ancient ferry crossing, landing with a single thought and setting sail again with a single thought extinguished."

    The first book presents the protagonist as a cold, aloof, and powerful figure with white hair, but he's actually a socially awkward, expressionless, and clueless newbie. There's no romantic pairing or any ambiguous elements (though there are descriptions of a system and subtitles). The second book features a protagonist who quickly completes the game by rewinding time after death, leading to him being mistaken for a powerful figure. He's also cold and has no romantic partner. The third book features a powerful, cold, and aloof protagonist with white hair, who is naturally ruthless. The fourth book also has no romantic pairing or ambiguity. The protagonist is very handsome and appears weak, but is actually the strongest on Earth (initially weak, but quickly becomes stronger). He has multiple identities and is the financial backer of both the Red and White factions, making him very wealthy. The only regret is the lack of information about how the protagonist's true identity is perceived in later generations (there is a system).
