    The game starts by relentlessly tormenting the protagonist, only to reveal he's a god everyone must worship—the contrast is exhilarating! The protagonist, Mo Chen, is a tall, thin man, 1.93 Meters tall, with vacant eyes, a "melancholy little prince." He enters the game with a bottle of sobering pills (which are a recipe for disaster). While others fight with their fists, his fighting style involves inducing others to impatient and then commit suicide. Even more absurdly, upon arriving at the temple, he discovers the statue looks exactly like him! Villagers kneel before him, shopkeepers kneel before him, and even monsters from other dungeons kneel before him! What do you call this? This is called everyone kneeling before him! The fearsome and terrifying Pavilion God Xu Xiaoge is reduced to a palm-sized doll hanging on Mo Chen's bag. Wouldn't it be better to just be a doll? Instead, he launches into a (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary) mode, constantly criticizing everything Mo Chen does, and most importantly, he gets jealous. A true double standard. Later on, there's a mass-produced series of divine messengers named Mo Chen, who enjoys smashing statues—it's fun, and the more he smashes, the more fun he gets! Everyone thought he was going to be a sacrifice, but it turns out he's the sacrifice himself!

    The title of this book, "How Did This Orphan Get More Popular the More He's Exposed?", Sounds intriguing, full of suspense and plot twists! Judging from the title, it might be a novel with satirical, humorous, or socially realistic themes, telling the story of an "orphan" character who unexpectedly becomes famous. This premise easily evokes popular internet phenomena such as "grassroots success stories" or "unexpected fame." If you enjoy exploring social phenomena, the complexities of human nature, or works with a dark humor style, this book might be right up your alley. However, the specific content and style will depend on the author's writing skill and plot development. If you've already read it, could you share your thoughts?
