   All four books are great, especially the second and third, which I absolutely loved. The protagonist in the second book is a believer in deception, and later he's intertwined with fate. "Panic as yesterday, laughter for today." The third book is a classic infinite flow game novel with real-world confrontations. The protagonist's profession is a con artist; if someone believes his lies, his abilities can become reality.

   It's very well written. The protagonist starts with a divine body and a prestigious family. However, when he displays his extraordinary talent, he's already in someone else's game. Heaven and Earth are indifferent, viewing all things as mere creations; the great are indifferent, viewing the five realms as a chessboard, and all things as chess pieces.
