   Reader note

   "The Taboo of the Living" is a very good supernatural novel. The protagonist is loyal and devoted to the female lead. Their love transcends lifetimes, with cause and effect. The "Fortune Teller" series consists of two books. While some parts are not entirely rigorous, it's still quite good. The protagonists in both books are well-developed, and the later bosses are very powerful. The story has a good beginning and a good ending. "Divine Legend" has a great plot, but unfortunately, it ends abruptly, leaving some details unresolved, such as the woman in the coffin, the protagonist's biological parents, the Corpse King, and what the female lead did to prevent her from ascending to immortality. I hope there will be a second book. This description may not be perfect, and I may have missed some points. I hope everyone can add to it.
