    Trust me, these three books are absolutely amazing!!! I have very high standards, and these three books are truly treasured possessions of mine; I read several chapters of them almost every day. The author's writing is superb, and there are no ridiculously silly plot points. Zoo: This is a Japanese author with superb writing skills. Personally, I think it's the best of these three books. Each story is an independent narrative, without romance or supernatural elements, yet it carries profound meaning. It's definitely worth reading; it's one of my carefully selected books after I became a fan. The story is absolutely fantastic; I really can't think of any words to praise it. The Strange Tales: This book isn't very famous, and few people know about it. However, the plot is ingeniously constructed. You'll absolutely love it after reading four chapters. It's an independent story, without ghosts or romance, but it has profound meaning. The author may have hit a plateau in the middle, and the story becomes somewhat clichéd (but still better than most horror novels). But once the author overcomes this plateau, the later stories, especially the dark fairy tales, are what got me hooked. I couldn't put it down. A Murder Driven by Deep Love: The beginning leans towards suspense, while the later parts become more romantic. The immersion is incredible; you'll feel like you're the protagonist. No slapstick humor, no padding, no supernatural elements—the writing is consistently excellent. I used to look down on romance novels, thinking they were all formulaic, but this book made me believe in them again. I never used to read novels before, but this book changed my mind and got me into the genre.

    The first four books were to my liking, and the later ones were just okay. The first book is "Boss Li is a fool," also known as "Li the Deceitful." He is decisive, intelligent, and has no romantic partner, but there is a slight romantic subplot. It's a pity that they don't end up together. It is currently completed. The second book, as the title suggests, involves various character development activities after entering a horror world, such as opening a shop... There is no female lead yet, and it is still being updated. The third book initially felt a bit like "I Have a Horror House," with a very strong romantic subplot and an unreasonable female lead. It almost made me give up, but after reading for a while, the female lead was possessed and became a powerful figure, and the male lead was no longer weak and indecisive. Overall, it's worth reading; it's still being updated... The fourth book mainly focuses on the male protagonist telling ghost stories via live stream in the early stages, which is a bit wordy. Later on, the content of storytelling gradually decreases or even disappears. Moreover, the male protagonist becomes more and more powerful with the help of the system, possessing skills such as the Star Absorption Technique, immortality, and the Lingbo Steps. It is still being updated. As for the last two books, there's not much to say, just add them to your bookshelves! This is the first time I've ever given such a heartfelt recommendation!!!
