   The protagonist feels very real; despite facing hardship, he retains his kindness (not a saint!). The plot is also very tight, neither rushed nor drawn out, and importantly, the story flows smoothly with excellent foreshadowing. Reading it is immersive; you can guess what's coming next (but not in a formulaic way—our guesses are mostly wrong, but very engaging), unlike some stories where readers are forced to follow the author's logic without any clues about the plot. I give it a thumbs up!

    The order of the first three books is my personal ranking. First, Nightmare. It avoids the typical idiotic plot holes, making it a particularly enjoyable read. Some books, in an attempt to cater to readers' intelligence, resort to overly clever writing, which I personally find unbearable. Second, The Haunted House. There's no limit to the number of instances the author can design. Most importantly, the entire book has a clear structure, with the beginning and ending echoing each other. Unlike many books that lack a main storyline and simply include numerous instances to avoid writing a main plot and maximize readership, these books never truly end, and even when they do, they're often poorly written. Third, I added this book to my bookshelf after reading the beginning, and it only got more exciting as I read. Although it's a supernatural fantasy novel with a rule-based premise, it evokes a sense of fear. Fourth, you can ignore this one. After reading the previous three, I couldn't find any other high-quality books, so I wrote a copy. As you know, some highly rated, popular books are, well, just... Well, let's just say they're completely different.

    I'm quite picky about books, but these few really suited my taste. The protagonists in all of them are intelligent and not overly idealistic, and the supporting characters are also vividly portrayed. The first book, *Midnight Nightmare*, has no female lead, no cheat codes, and the protagonist isn't invincible later on. It tells the story of Wang Yan returning home to find a murder in his own house, the victim being himself. He then has to continuously enter elevators to complete tasks in nightmare worlds, experiencing constant high pressure. Back in reality, he also has to face ghosts at his doorstep. The plot is quite terrifying; it sent chills down my spine. You need to be mentally sharp to read it; otherwise, you'll be completely confused. The second book is an ensemble piece. The female lead is strong, and the supporting characters are also vividly written. It can be enjoyed as a lighthearted read. There aren't any jarring cheat codes, and the protagonist's strength isn't sacrificed for the sake of highlighting others. Everyone is strong, and it's a story of mutual growth and progress. Those who like ensemble pieces should check it out. The third book is one of the few I've read on Tomato Literature that's so nuanced. Every character has a flesh-and-blood soul, and the plot is mostly cheerful and realistic, making it easy to immerse yourself in the story. It's not like other rambling, superficial novels. Many characters who only appear in one or two chapters leave a deep impression on me. There are many heart-wrenching moments, and it leans towards an ensemble cast. Those interested can check it out. The fourth story has a romantic subplot between the male and female leads; the Divine Deer couple is very sweet, but both are intelligent and strong, belonging to the evenly matched type. Each dungeon is innovative, not the same old-fashioned horror endless flow. The twin dungeon is my favorite!! It's really innovative (I won't spoil it here). You need to use your brain to read it. The fifth story has a deeper meaning; it's not just a one-sided escape game but actually reflects the weaknesses of human nature, while also praising the greatness of the good side of humanity. The author handles the romance well, subtly and gradually. The female lead doesn't blindly rely on the male lead; she has her own way of solving problems. It's a strong couple. Those interested can check it out!

    1️⃣The first book is also an infinite flow + weird fantasy, not a saintly one, decisive in killing. Don't ship everyone, it will only hurt you. However, I see the author likes angst, so I'm planning to send some angst over. The quality is solid, the male lead's IQ is online, I haven't seen the shrimp head part yet, and he hasn't lost his intelligence. As for me, I'll say it again, if you don't like it, come and hit me. 2️⃣The second book is a bit more interesting, also an infinite flow + weird fantasy. In this one, the male lead is in the beginning, in three worlds: the real world, the book world, and the mission world. The male lead is basically inhuman, with a big family who all dote on him and are all crazy. The female lead is the strongest. You can ship anyone in this one. The new author's writing is a bit rough in the beginning, it looks a bit strange, but don't worry, keep reading, it gets really good later on. Four or five updates a day, please support me! It may not be scary, but it's guaranteed to be exciting, and it's also guaranteed to be angsty [thumbs up]. But it will come back.

He was then "possessed" and entered the "haunted house," where they ate "love dumplings" and talked about the "June Festival"!

    Brothers, I'm recommending a mind-blowing, super-powerful novel! The protagonist, Ji Ye, has awakened an "Abyss Filter," seeing everything as ordinary objects. 👉 While others are terrified of the Headless Horseman, he thinks he's a dedicated deliveryman and even gives him a tip! 👉 While others are scared out of their wits by the sight of a deep-sea monster, he thinks she's a drowning girl, rescues her, and then forces her to sing a square dance! 👉 The most outrageous thing is that when the King in Yellow comes looking for trouble, he treats him like a performance artist, forcibly drags him into his house to play a murder mystery game, and then criticizes the script for its illogicality! Now, in his yard, a demigod is guarding the gate, a ghost king is mopping the floor, and an S-class monster is unclogging the drains… Everyone's a villain (scratch that), everyone's a working stiff! Want to see how the protagonist physically exorcises the entire universe with a mop? "I Handed Over the Unspeakable Things," you won't regret it, you'll laugh your head off!!!
