    Reader note

    I absolutely have to highly recommend these. None of the following are romantic pairings…🫥… I don't remember where I stumbled upon the first book, but I was completely captivated and delighted with each reading. The author's narrative is incredibly engaging, presenting the same event from different times and angles, avoiding excessive overlap between the story and the actual events, preventing a stretched timeline that could become tedious, while still maintaining a certain level of enjoyment. Moreover, Chu Han is a fantastic example of a cool, adorable character, and the older brother's character is also very interesting. Since it was my first time reading this type of book, I was intrigued from the start. However, most reviews suggest that the author's improvement is particularly noticeable after *Gushan City*, and upon rereading, it becomes clear that the author has diligently planted various foreshadowing elements…🫥… The second book had been sitting on my bookshelf for a while before I finally found it and enjoyed it. This little box book is simply too charming, gentle and peaceful yet resolute and decisive. The author's very specific scientific explanations and details make the story more realistic, meaning it doesn't feel pretentious or empty; it has a logical basis. What surprised me was that the script was presented from roughly three perspectives: the script itself, the performance process, and the final effect on the audience. Each perspective yielded different content, creating a sense of piecing together the truth, and the script itself was incredibly rich. The character descriptions were very pleasant, showcasing the richness, depth, and diversity of the characters…🫥… The third book was one of the first I acquired and has been revisiting. This character, Mo Fei, is so adorable! The overall style is refreshing; whenever I'm not really reading or getting bored, clicking on this book immediately draws me in for a reread. And the plot is truly impeccable, incredibly original. I really want to discuss the plot, but these things are only truly interesting the first time you start reading and are immediately struck by their impact. Hey bro, Murphy's life is just too colorful! (No offense to the others.) I was initially recommended this kind of crime thriller, but after reading a few books, I realized the concept was becoming a formulaic one. I didn't have high hopes, but the refreshing style at the beginning captivated me, and I was thoroughly entertained watching Murphy's adventures across the country. The story begins on a bright, sunny day, and by the end, we no longer have the right to be bystanders, but their story continues. The epilogue fills in some of the foreshadowing, enriches the characters, and provides some context for the future, giving readers room for imagination. Personally, I think it's a great ensemble piece! ...🫥... The fourth book is by the same author as the previous one, also not a long novel but a very enjoyable story. This Fire Cat is a completely cool and adorable comedic character, still full of creativity and energy. This one is clearly an ensemble piece; maybe others see me as a bit abnormal, but so what? I'm surrounded by like-minded companions (this is a bit hard to define). Although this team sometimes seems strangely like it was cobbled together from bits and pieces of the world, how can you be sure they don't have a team spirit? Although their unity is mostly shown by leaving the troublesome captain position to Xu's mother. Unfortunately, the side stories for this book haven't been updated yet. I hope the author returns soon…🫥… The fifth book also deals with the path of acting, but it's undeniably a completely different genre from the others. Shen Si's journey from being alone to finding family through shared experiences is heartwarming and truly healing. I've always loved this book, and the fan art on Lofter is adorable with almost no flaws. I think it's a charming masterpiece. The ghosts' injustices, grievances, and tragic fates in life, followed by their posthumous celebration of the same idol, are still deeply moving…🫥… The sixth book is a bit older, but I haven't found a replacement yet. This book presents a completely different afterlife, with the four lords each possessing their own unique characteristics, and their subordinates having their own strengths and fighting styles. While the human world continues to depict the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the underworld adheres to its own principles—managing the souls of the dead and not interfering in human affairs. Don't underestimate the bond between the fan artist and Jiang Wuchang's livestream! I thought the annual meeting scene was really interesting…🫥… The seventh book is clearly a heartwarming and comforting collection. But believe me, it's not just superficial warmth; it's an embrace that chooses to do so after deep reflection. Professor Lin travels with various small animals, embodying gentleness, tolerance, and the cheerful spirit of his hometown. While similar themes can be creatively adapted, I can confidently say this book offers no substitute. It truly forges its own path, a unique one at that. The author accompanies each animal's appearance with an illustration, complementing the text and creating a strong sense of immersion while broadening one's horizons. I particularly enjoy the author's rambling thoughts; aren't these reflections of life itself? The author draws strength and courage from readers' encouragement, while readers witness the author's journey towards a better future and offer their blessings. This mutual support is undeniably moving. ...🫥... I read the 8th book quite a while ago, so I don't know why it stopped updating, which undoubtedly makes me very regretful. I felt the premise of this book was novel, and it's also a light and refreshing story. The author's writing about the extension of the song's theme was truly beautiful and gentle; sometimes you can genuinely feel the power conveyed by words or music. The interactions with the many ghost fans and the King of Hell were also very interesting. Mentioning future developments and adding "Of course, that's a story for another time" is undoubtedly a common writing technique, but I especially want to thank the author for the foreshadowing in this book, as it gave me something to imagine during his hiatus. The author suddenly returned in 25 years, but then disappeared without a trace again, so those choosing this book should be cautious. ...🫥... The rating for book #9 has recently risen, and I'm happy that more people are discovering this great work. As the protagonist grows, it becomes very clear that different positions lead to different perspectives. Therefore, as he climbs the ranks, the dark truths are gradually revealed. The power struggles between various factions, each with their own goals, result in a painful loss for all who manage to rise. Those who enjoy intellectual battles and ensemble casts should definitely check this out. If you want to understand the book's strengths more thoroughly, you can find a long review by the author—it's truly authoritative…🫥… Book #10 needs no introduction; it's incredibly enjoyable! Lu Tai Sui cuts and slashes his way through, crushing his peers. The descriptions are down-to-earth, conveying the character's bold and forthright nature, while also featuring various couplets that showcase his style. "Lu Tai Sui, skilled in both literature and martial arts, is here; his ruthless methods are unparalleled, decisive yet principled." The author has researched many obscure facts about spirits and monsters, providing a kind of educational element. The punctuation felt a bit odd in the later chapters, but thankfully, the recent chapters are much better.

    Reader note

    These books all seem to be male-oriented novels. The first one is about a male protagonist who thinks he's transmigrated to a strange and wondrous world with a companion spirit, but it's actually another self-rescue attempt by Mother Earth, hoping to establish a peaceful and safe world. The second one is a card battle novel where characters from all over history come out to fight against an alien enemy, and the male protagonist, carrying historical memories, joins this protracted war. The third one is about a protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a silly deer, and through a system bound to the male protagonist, successfully becomes the strongest of the younger generation. The fourth one is about a protagonist who transmigrates into a world invaded by the Fourth Calamity, builds a game barrier to protect his home, and later fights back against the invasion. "As long as I truly exist, then it is real."

    Reader note

    In male-oriented supernatural fiction, Li Changsheng truly is a god forever. I've read all three books, and now I can't find any substitutes, so I'm rereading them.
