   If you like suspenseful and brain-burning novels like "The End of Ten Days", here are some recommended books that are equally intellectually challenging and engaging. 1. **"I'm Not a Drama God"**: This work is set in the apocalypse and tells the story of the protagonist rising from the ruins after the red meteor changes the world.

Each passenger explores the secrets of the villa in fear and unknown. 3. "Game Ten": This is a new book and is still being updated.
