I read all kinds of genres, but I'm not interested in formulaic power-leveling stories for beginners. I want smart characters and sound logic. The protagonist can be unhinged or perfectly normal, but I won't read about one whose characterization is all over the place, whose words and actions contradict their setup, or whose values don't sit right with me. Usually that means a selfish, cold-blooded protagonist whose behavior has no reasonable explanation.

Just as Xu Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Two Jins": "Three generations have plotted to establish the throne of the emperor, pitying the widows and orphans. The crime is blamed on the emperor's hatred, and the attack on the wise king is eternal sorrow." The Western Jin Dynasty won the country unfairly, made too many mistakes, and inherited all the shortcomings from the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. By the end of the Jin Dynasty, it was hard to recover, and it was urgent to rebuild the empire's values and governance system. But "who knew that the tall nose could know the numbers and compete to fly the battle flag in the Central Plains?" History did not give them this opportunity. If you do your own evil, you will not live. The time traveler arrives at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, which is gradually collapsing. All he can do is survive first.

Weird stories are strange things that use cognition as food, information as weapons, and information as currency. They are neither living nor dead, existing in the rumors of humans and living in the shadows of the world. "Does this mean I will become a monster?" In ancient times, they were worshiped as gods and were powerful based on belief. "Then I am a god!" In recent times, they were feared as monsters and fed on fear. "I will become the master of ghost stories!" But under the erosion of the times, they gradually disappeared, leaving only paragraphs of words that were regarded as nonsense. "It is our duty to rebuild the glory of Guitaan." But you are not a ghost story, well, you are not a human either. "Well, becoming a weirdo is considered a success."
