    🔥 Phenomenal crazy masterpiece! "I'm Not a Drama God" - Tomato's "Urban High Martial Arts" ceiling, the audience's expectations are high, and the entire network is crazy for updates! 🔥 🎯 Core Highlights 1️⃣ "The audience is God" setting explodes. The original "audience expectation" system directly converts readers' emotions into the driving force of the plot - the crazier the protagonist's performance, the more generous the audience's reward; once the plot is mediocre, disaster will immediately annihilate the city! It can be called the "Internet version of "The Truman Show"". The author laughed at himself in Sanjiu's voice: "This is driving me crazy every day!" 2️⃣ Epic innovation of the Shinto system. The 14 roads to the gods (such as the God of Play, the God of War, and the God of Thieves) each contain 9-level skills, and the path branches are as complicated as a spider web. The protagonist Chen Ling uses the body of "Mocking Disaster" to distort the way of play. Her skills [Scarlet Trick], [Fate Weaving] and [Disaster Transformation] are both eerie and poetic, and the battle scenes are like a stage play with violent aesthetics. 3️⃣ The group portraits depict the gods, and all the members are crazy about it. From the crazy artist "Red King" to the sinister strategist Chu Muyun, the supporting actors have high IQs and are anti-routine. The villain "Gray King" uses prostitution to control human nature, and the Twilight Club member codenames are hidden with metaphors of playing cards. Even NPC viewers will angrily comment on the plot: "The screenwriter is here to die!" 🌈 Suitable for the crowd ✅ Fans of rules and weird stories who are addicted to "Thriller Park" and "Lord of Mysteries" ✅ Those who pursue the dual satisfaction of "exploding brain + rigorous logic" ✅ Suspense control over the "fourth wall" and "meta elements" ✅ A school of thought keen on deconstructing divinity and analyzing the depth of human nature. "I'm Not a Drama God" is by no means a traditional cool novel, but a conspiracy between the author and the readers - when you scream for the plot in front of the screen, you may have already become a member of the "audience" in the play. Sanjiu Yinyu uses his crazy writing power to tear apart the boundaries of genre novels, and uses drama to reconstruct the doomsday epic, proving that "free literature can also ascend to the literary temple." "The show never ends until the audience leaves."

    "If you like the brotherly blood of "Dragon", the myth reconstruction of "Lord of Mysteries", or simply want to experience the epic feeling of mortals killing gods, "I Learn to Kill Gods in a Mental Hospital" is definitely worth a try! The belief of the 'Night Watcher' in the book to protect the mountains and rivers with his mortal body, coupled with the imagination of the global gods fighting, is both irritating and sad to read. It is a masterpiece with a score of 9.8 On Tomato, and 2.4 Million people have followed it. It is not a loss if you invest in it!"
