Looking for Realistic Folk Supernatural Stories
It’s less a novel than an autobiography.
Feng Shui and Physiognomy with Theoretical Foundations, No Womanizing, and Supernatural Elements
Please recommend stories about feng shui, face reading, the supernatural, and ghost hunting, with a solid theoretical basis and no messy romances. I want a protagonist who can show off, paranormal mysteries, a fixed team, an overarching plot, and standalone cases. Add some humor, too, and touching cases that’ll make you laugh and cry. Something like "Chief Medical Officer".

This is the best novel I've ever read. The plot is immersive and logical, and the rhetoric is superb, without any abrupt transitions. It doesn't feel like reading a novel; it's more like listening to the author tell a story—a vivid and captivating folk tale! Words cannot express my delight! A definite thumbs up! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's really good. The story is told logically, the narrative is clear, it's captivating and gripping, and the language is excellent, with a strong Tianjin accent and local customs. I finished it in one night. Tomato was the biggest surprise for me, and I love it so much.
This is a very good novel. The story and characters are well-defined, and the intricate plot is seamlessly connected. It's no easy feat to maintain such a clear and smooth narrative. However, there's one point: at the end of the story, the author mentions that he never drafted a manuscript for this book.
I absolutely love it! I haven't been able to think of any good novels to read lately, and this one is just right for me! I listen to this novel every night before bed, and I'm already looking forward to reading the author's next book.
I stumbled upon this book by chance, and it's unexpectedly wonderful! It's the most captivating novel I've read in recent years. The story is intricately woven and immersive, and Erfei's narration is exceptionally brilliant. Several times, I couldn't help but shed tears while listening. The author is superb, and the narrator is equally excellent!
Very good! The logic is clear, the content is concise and well-organized, and it doesn't require much brainpower. The relationships between the characters are clearly explained, and mysteries are presented and solved one after another. The plot doesn't drag, and the author's literary skills are impressive. It's not like mindless writing that's bland and tasteless. Very good, keep up the good work!
This book is just as good as "Master Ma Catches Demons". The Tianjin accent sounds so familiar, just like listening to storytelling and crosstalk!
It's not bad, but there are some minor shortcomings. For example, "" (Jinmen Moumou) wasn't used in the past; it should be "" (Tianjinwei Moumou). "" (Baixiangren) is Shanghainese, not Tianjin dialect. And so on. But overall, it's acceptable.
The storytelling style is fast-paced and the plot is intricately linked, with a strong Tianjin flavor. I personally think it's a truly witty work.
It looks quite interesting, similar to Guo Degang's storytelling. It's really good, is there a sequel?
