   Seriously, I highly recommend the first book. After you die, you become a monster, and it turns out your family members are also monsters. There are even players participating in the dungeon, and you have a brother who's obsessed with his younger brother—it's amazing! The second book is about becoming the dungeon's final boss, a being known as "Sir," who is incredibly powerful! The third book is more player-friendly; you travel to a haunted house and grow stronger by constantly devouring others, eventually becoming the greatest horror!

   The first book features a protagonist who dies unjustly and becomes a ghost, with a very powerful and doting older brother. The second book has a protagonist with five brothers who have a very close relationship and a powerful network of connections. The third book has a vast and complex background; the protagonist is also supernatural, and the brothers are incredibly powerful. It includes things like a divine space and live streaming, all created by some of the supernatural characters. The fourth book is similar; I've added it to my bookshelf but haven't read it yet. You can check it out if you're interested. All of them are non-romantic, except the first two are about a protagonist who is doted on by his brothers.

    Fellow Daoist, who are you talking to? In this world, where the author, Tianwai Youshan, lives, never speak casually to "people," for you never know if the person opposite you is a human, a ghost, or some indescribable "evil spirit"! Legend has it that there is a temple for cultivating immortality; as long as you bury yourself as a seed in the soil, you can become an immortal. The protagonist, Li Shiwu, not only cultivated himself but also developed extraordinary and unparalleled abilities. This is a world full of evil immortals; those who spout benevolence and morality are often more terrifying than demons. The protagonist is talkative, eccentric, yet possesses the calmest butcher's heart. What's most chilling yet irresistible is the bizarre "evil spirits" and "techniques" in the book.

The author has constructed a logically consistent yet insanely bizarre world of cultivation.
