    This is incredibly impressive! The main character (MC) stands out from typical cheating story tropes - he exhibits clear psychopathic traits. His narration is detached and cold, which resonates with how psychopaths are often portrayed in literature. He's masterfully manipulative, successfully deceiving everyone around him. The writing is exceptional; it's truly a captivating read. Wow, this ranks among my all-time favorites.

    The atmosphere was quite gloomy, but I have to admit, there were moments of dark humor in an unexpected way. The main character's laid-back attitude and forgetfulness regarding names made for an intriguing and unique reading experience.

    This book is an ideal choice for a swift and enjoyable read. Although a few reviews pointed out potential plot holes and unrealistic elements, I haven't delved into those aspects myself. Rest assured, these issues won't detract from your reading experience, as my personal engagement with this thrilling, gory轻小说 fully merits a five-star rating.

    I appreciate the protagonist's cunning character – he's quite intriguing. Now, regarding the storytelling technique: the narrative omits names until the epilogue, which I find utterly clever. The main story is narrated by the protagonist, Shen YiZhen, who has a condition preventing him from recognizing faces, hence the namelessness. In the epilogue, the voice changes to Ji Qu, also known as Agent B, introducing a flood of character names.

    I highly recommend giving it a try. If you're sensitive to graphic content, feel free to skip those parts or choose another book entirely. But for those who can handle it, I assure you, you won't regret the experience.

    It's an enjoyable, concise, and satisfying revenge story, really... *chuckles* The protagonist's ultimate victory over the husband and his lover was quite fitting! Spoiler alert: I must say, I felt vindicated that the main character took matters into their own hands and ensured the cheaters faced the consequences. Long live to those who don't play fair!

    This is my maiden review, and I want to clarify that this is solely my personal opinion. I understand if others have different views, so please respect mine as well. I devoured this book in one sitting before penning this review; the emotional rollercoaster left me both exhilarated and perplexed. The revenge storyline was captivating, even if it didn't delve deep, and it provided decent entertainment for the past couple of hours. It served as a decent distraction, but I wouldn't advise reading it before bedtime – my adrenaline was sky-high, necessitating this lengthy, somewhat irrelevant review to calm down.

    I appreciated the creative approach to character identification without explicit names, although my limited cognitive capacity made the epilogue quite confusing at first. After pondering, I grasped the core concepts. Would I classify this as a full-fledged story? Perhaps more akin to an appetizer compared to the main course, given its brevity and intriguing uniqueness. I might revisit this in the future.

    It's like a standalone tale, but not entirely. The lack of depth and逻辑 might seem nonsensical, but isn't that part of the fun? If you enjoy a satisfying revenge narrative with no room for failure and can appreciate elements of gore and male relationships, then this might be worth your time. Give it a chance, if you will.

    Wow, this story is incredibly intense! I appreciate it because it offers a refreshing take on the Mary Sue trope often found in cheating tales. The main character is an extraordinary individual, almost like a villain protagonist.

    I can't fault the MC for seeking justice by killing his despicable husband and exacting revenge on those who wronged him. The narrative being from the MC's perspective means that some details are inferred, leaving room for interpretation. Here's a breakdown of my theories based on the available information:

    - **MC**: Although not explicitly stated, the MC seems strikingly attractive, considering the numerous celebrities who pursue them in the entertainment industry. The scum husband's interest, despite competition, and the admiration from others like the film emperor and Editor B, who's willing to go to extreme lengths for the MC, suggest exceptional beauty.

    - **ML (Editor B)**: Editor B is absolutely devoted to the MC, involved in the murder plot and even had intimate moments with the MC. After the husband's death, it appears that the MC took control of the company.

    - **Scum Husband**: While his demise was gruesome, it served justice. He cheated on the MC with multiple people, including resource-seeking stars who disliked the MC due to their status. The mistress seemed to be his favorite.

    - **Mistress (Childhood Sweetheart)**: She's promiscuous and uses relationships for personal gain, possibly with Policeman D as her secret lover. Her hatred for the MC was evident, and she tried to manipulate events to have the husband eliminate the MC.

    - **Policeman D**: He might be the mistress's true love, given his unwavering loyalty and actions to protect her. However, he fell victim to the MC's plans and faced a grim fate.

    - **Film Emperor**: Initially involved with the mistress, he developed feelings for the MC after discovering her betrayal. He provided resources but didn't necessarily sleep with the MC, as indicated by a brief invitation scene in the extras.

    The extras provide a satisfying conclusion, wrapping up the story neatly within a couple of hours if read quickly.

    This novel is a chilling tale of murder, with the protagonist's vivid descriptions of his brutal acts captivating the reader. The ending feels somewhat disjointed, and there are areas where the author could have left well enough alone to maintain the delicate balance between the dark plot and the potential romance. The narrative and protagonist's character development echo elements of Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl," yet they unfold in a unique and disturbing way.

    The story ultimately concludes with a satisfying, albeit dark, happily-ever-after (HEA) from the protagonist's perspective, as he实现了他的复仇愿望,揭露了丈夫的丑行并毁掉了情妇的名誉。 However, when it comes to the romantic aspect, the main love interest (ML) turns out to be Editor B, defying expectations from the epilogue. It's crucial to read the final chapters carefully, as the author skillfully keeps the identity of the ML a mystery until the very end, creating a surprising twist that can be confusing at times. The intimate scenes between the ML and MC are more like a last-minute attempt to salvage the limited romance within the story and the nature of their relationship dynamic.

    While there are differing opinions about the identity of the ML, I argue that Editor B fits the bill best based on the clues provided. As the investigation progresses, Editor B is one of the few who discerns the master plan hatched by the protagonist, showcasing their deep connection and admiration. The 'amnesia' serves as a test of ML's love and loyalty, as well as a tool to ensnare the mistress's childhood friend, a detective. The fact that the ML has an unassuming job makes it plausible for them to remain incognito for three years.

    In the climax, the amnesia and the fame of the ML create challenges, but they manage to navigate them effectively. The detective recognizes the ML due to their shared history and role as an alibi. Crucially, Lu Hai, the brother of the deceased husband, fails to recognize the ML, indicating that he isn't the famous film emperor. This further solidifies Editor B's position as the devoted ML.

    In summary, Editor B emerges as the most plausible and fitting love interest, given the story's details and character dynamics.

    "F*ck... It turned out to be much darker and intense than I anticipated. Initially, I thought it would be a light-hearted comedy, but this is actually a gripping psychological thriller. I wouldn't recommend it for those who aren't into the more extreme content. Please refer to the tags.

    The main character discovers his husband has sinister intentions towards him. Can you guess how he plans to react? [SPOILER ALERT] Surprisingly, he takes matters into his own hands and even engages in some disturbing acts. The protagonist is a calm, calculated individual with exceptional acting skills, portraying a pitiful and innocent facade, yet hiding a cruel and cunning side. In essence, he's a deeply disturbed individual.

    The entire novel follows his meticulously planned revenge, which unfolds intriguingly. I found the exploration of his corrupt mind quite captivating. However, there won't be any conventional romantic storyline; he ends up with only one person, but the focus is on his strategic thinking and some graphic content. The story is relatively short, so if it's not your cup of tea, you won't be wasting too much time."

    This gripping thriller sent chills down my spine. Although there were a few moments that verged on the implausible, the protagonist's actions and his relentless quest for vengeance left me on edge. The ambiguity surrounding the identity of his love interest, however, added an unsettling darkness to the narrative. Approach it with that level of intrigue in mind.

    Great narrative! It's refreshing to come across a composed and intelligent protagonist who is aware of the warning signs and focuses on survival while seeking justice for the unfaithful couple without resorting to a love triangle. This book stands out as it tackles its themes head-on, rather than relying on a重生 or reincarnation plot device.

    This narrative has an unsettling vibe, not quite horror, but undeniably eerie. The main character (MC) seems peculiar. The antagonist couple was morally questionable, but their behavior was relatively normal – except for the female villager's desire to eliminate the MC. The MC is cunning and fixated on seeking revenge, which provided a creepy rather than satisfying resolution.

    The identity of the male lead (ML) is somewhat confusing, with others, including myself, having misinterpreted earlier. However, the final chapter clarifies matters.

    Here's a summary without revealing too much:

    In the end, the MC exacts revenge, pushing one of the deceitful partners into a nightmarish situation involving cannibalism, followed by a grotesque twist. The MC then forms a bond with his knowledgeable editor, choosing not to pursue a relationship with the Film Emperor, whom he perceives as expendable.

    Overall, this story was a dark and chilling read.
