    My first book recommendation. After a car accident, Lin Xiao encounters his ancestral lineage in the underworld. Through this connection, Lin Xiao's parents start a business in the underworld, with Lin Xiao assisting them in the human world. This isn't a story about a protagonist who starts with overwhelming advantages, but rather grows gradually. So, he starts by defeating minor ghosts and monsters—a non-systematic, monster-slaying, level-up story. Lin Xiao transforms from a somewhat fearful boy into someone even ghosts tremble before. In the end, he becomes ruthless and decisive, killing ghosts and gods alike.
