[Draft in progress]
As full-dive technology advances by leaps and bounds, the gaming company Explore Realm has spent years in painstaking research and now unveils its flagship full-dive role-playing mystery game, The Killer Is You.
Lifelike sets, exquisite costumes and makeup, and a vast library of scripts created by more than a thousand screenwriters: everything is designed to give players a more immersive experience.
The first closed beta is limited to ten thousand participants. Explore Realm will partner with one of the country's leading video platforms to livestream the event and hold the first Bounty Tournament, with the winner taking home ten million!
As soon as the news breaks, spots become impossible to get. Qin Miao, a mystery enthusiast, is one of the lucky few.
A missing murder weapon, an impenetrable locked room, a perfect alibi...
The cases are baffling, and the killer lurks in the shadows. The players clash fiercely even as they work together to identify the culprit.
Gradually, viewers notice that one young girl has an astonishingly high accuracy rate, leaving everyone else far behind in the rankings.
Qin Miao: Thanks for asking, I'm just an ordinary college student.

Reader's Guide:
1. The game segments take inspiration from Who's the Murderer, in-person murder mystery games, and the like.
2. All stories, events, and characters are fictional. The protagonist is only playing a full-dive game, and the killer role does not involve actual murder.
3. The real-world plot and game plot make up roughly twenty and eighty percent, respectively.
4. See the supporting characters section for the male lead. He has a romance arc and is not just a background character. His conduct is exemplary.

The next novel is The Safehouse of an Anxiety Sufferer [Infinite Flow]
Shen Xingyun, a vlogger in a major city, has a house, a car, and plenty of money. She should be living comfortably, but she suffers from anxiety.
Every night, she randomly dreams of a different disaster, experiencing firsthand the helplessness of human beings and the threat of death.
Expensive therapy not only fails to cure her, but makes things even worse.
For the sake of her health, Shen Xingyun grits her teeth, quits her job, and heads to the far northwest, where she spends a fortune building a safehouse of her own.
An air-raid shelter, a basement, sturdy walls, a watchtower; daily necessities, medicine, food, modified weapons... A doomsday fortress gradually takes shape, and Shen Xingyun's anxiety slowly subsides without treatment.
But just as she thinks she can return to a normal life, an electronic voice binds itself to her:
[Ding----Eligible Host detected. Welcome to the Doomsday Survival Game. Please choose your starting skill.]
Shen Xingyun: "!!!"
Looking at her well-stocked safehouse, she grits her teeth. "I choose my house!"
[Setup complete. Enjoy the game!]
With her nightmares becoming reality, Shen Xingyun is instead relieved. Luckily, she prepared well in advance. Now all she can do is try to stay alive in all kinds of apocalyptic worlds...
