This is fucking amazing! I've read and heard so many supernatural novels, but this is my absolute favorite. I won't allow such a wonderful novel to go unnoticed.
The author's writing style is skillful, accessible yet fluent. However, the romantic subplots involving multiple female leads are written... A bit cheesy. On the contrary, the male characters are all vividly portrayed, with distinct personalities, offering a refreshing and natural feel compared to the female characters.
The writing is good, the content is relatively objective and realistic, and it has a foundation in metaphysics. Most importantly, the protagonist doesn't drag things out, maintains stable emotions, and doesn't exhibit extreme psychological shifts; he's quite mature. The only drawback is where the ratings went.
It's well-written, mainly because it's not part of their system. It has a new worldview. Unlike current supernatural novels that start off scary and then either turn into cultivation or feng shui battles, this one portrays the underworld poorly.
This book shouldn't have received such a low score. The author's writing style is more mature than some books that score only 9 out of 10, and the plot is tight and concise. It's a very good book; I'm a little suspicious that it might be a hobby piece written by an established author under a pseudonym.
Absolutely amazing, no exaggeration, this novel is guaranteed to be at least nine points high.
The male lead is emotionally rich and decisive, his feelings are genuine, the story is fast-paced, and there are some real-life examples that are a bit scary, but not many. Why aren't many people watching it?
It's a really good read; to be honest, I can't tell if it's a story or reality anymore. I really like the characters in the book; they feel so real. However, the male lead's lack of understanding of gender boundaries still makes me a little uncomfortable.
It's pretty good. I think a major aspect of supernatural novels isn't just about making ghosts incredibly scary to trigger the uncanny valley and get adrenaline pumping. It's about well-placed plots and a good balance of horror and fantasy. Ultimately, it's about what we learn and understand through these elements. The plots I've read so far are tightly connected.
It's quite good; seeing so little information about it is a nice touch. It really feels like the author experienced it firsthand, and the writing is good. The only drawback is that I don't quite understand why Lu was able to inherit so much that the protagonist worked so hard to obtain. Was it due to karma that Li passed it on to her? Or will Lu lose it later?
