It describes various aspects of human life so realistically that it felt very real to me, like I was actually in real life; you get scammed and all sorts of things happen. Then there's the second book, which I would call the first truly terrifying novel I've ever read, *Borrowing Yin Lifespan*. It's quite scary. At first, I thought this novel was quite exciting and scary, with a lot of horror, but later I found it to be a very good novel as well. I highly recommend both of these.

    Just like the title suggests, the goddess he likes helps the male protagonist, but she's tricked and killed in northern Myanmar by a rich second-generation heir, her soul imprisoned. The protagonist also encounters a ghost but is fortunately rescued by his master, beginning his apprenticeship. It's a Chinese-style horror/supernatural ensemble piece, and it's unclear whether readers will ship characters; it's a male-male pairing written by a straight male author, featuring a younger brother and the protagonist. Initially, the younger brother is the savior, and the protagonist keeps seeking him out, eventually becoming friends. The younger brother even misunderstands the protagonist as a male protagonist and decisively rejects him.
