I especially hate authors using their stories to push personal agendas, which makes books in the same genre feel painfully alike. A lot of things other readers find satisfying are deal-breakers for me, so I like exciting, clean, and brisk stories. These days it's really hard to find anything I can keep reading. It's always the same few authors writing the same stuff. I hope someone can help me out. Here are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling, though they're old favorites and everyone may have read them already.

It all started when the protagonist downloaded a game called "The Fool (Internal Beta Version)". From then on, his life changed.

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 became 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."
