Something like "Chief Medical Officer".

To be honest, I thought the author would mainly focus on the corpse-carrying trope, as the title suggests. However, it only introduced the protagonist's background and some unrelated supernatural events. The mention of inanimate and living creatures is somewhat fantastical but not supernatural, though still quite engaging.
Well written! The main characters are cool! The logic is strong, and it's not without humor! The only flaw is the excessive use of explicit profanity. Good reading material should improve people's manners; children shouldn't be taught that being cool requires swearing. Moderation is key; it can elevate the work's overall scope.
This book is also excellent. Mainly, I felt the author's writing style was particularly unique. Also, the friendships of Fang Youde's companions truly moved me. Rong Yan was especially touching; her bond with Fang Youde was incredibly deep. In the end, Rong Yan didn't survive. The fact that the male protagonist was a living being was kept a secret from him the whole time.
I genuinely think it's excellent!!! The writing is delicate, demonstrating profound skill, and the imagery is vivid. The entire book unfolds step by step, captivating the reader and giving them the urge to read it all in one go. I love it!
It's so captivating, I didn't even realize I'd been watching it all afternoon, and I'd even stopped playing games.
I was drawn in by the corpse-carrying scene; the plot unfolded step by step, a series of intrigues within intrigues. The middle part felt a bit slow, but I especially loved the ending. It had a touch of regret, which is just like life—there aren't many happy endings. The slight regret and lingering emotions felt very real.
It's a very good book. The plot is tight, revolving around a central theme with a clear beginning and end, and there are no major plot holes. Although many characters die in the book, it's all part of the story, leaving a touch of melancholy for the otherwise perfect ending. I didn't skip a single page while reading it; it's truly excellent. I hope to see more great books like this in the future.
Actually, I think the content of this book is quite good, it's just the title that's bad. The title is "The Corpse Carrier," and the content matches the title quite well at the beginning, but it doesn't fit in the end and becomes a suspense story. Everything else is fine, five stars! 💕
It's well-written, not dwelling too much on any one issue, and the protagonist has their own thoughts. It's worth considering for me to read in the first person.
The author's writing style is exceptionally refined and unique; this is the first book I read from beginning to end without skimming. I read every chapter and every line carefully. The detailed descriptions are also excellent. Reading it when I'm tired is very relaxing. Thumbs up to the author!
