The ratings of supernatural novels are not low and they are very good-looking, especially the first, third and fourth books. In the first book, the protagonist worships a good master, has a good junior brother and uncle, and fights supernatural things together, which is very warm. The third book is purely a supernatural novel, but the protagonist has a fiercer character in his body. He worships many masters, but except for Master Chang Baisi Snake Immortal, the others are male or older! The protagonist is very cheating. He steals half of his master's food and prepares to send him to the end. The protagonist uses the name of Master Snake Fairy to do things. Everyone is afraid of the trick. The final book is very close to reality. Although the score is very low, it is very interesting... The protagonist's father died because of the country's use of taboos, and he fought for ten years to retire. He was a hero during his lifetime. He was seriously injured in order to deal with those "people", but he died for the country after being seriously injured. The same goes for the protagonist, who died using taboos to save the country and for the hope of the nation.
