"Tags for the Living" needs no introduction; it was the first supernatural novel I read and a masterpiece before I got into the genre.

    This is a really good book recommendation [free of charge] for those who enjoy pure supernatural dramas and the destined bond between two male leads. The title is "Living in Place of the Dead: I Devour the Strange in the Human World". [Warnings]: This is not a traditional fast-paced, light novel, nor is it a rule-based supernatural mystery. There is no female lead or harem. It's a slow-burn, serious drama focusing on how an outcast learns to be human and maintains his daily life, with a very strong atmosphere. [Highlights]: The protagonist is an outcast who has been reincarnated and can devour strange beings; his childhood friend is a psychic support, and the two are a perfect match. It's currently almost 200,000 words long, and the plot is getting intense! The protagonist just awakened his spatial ability in the Grand Theater instance, and his nemesis, the villain, lost an arm to survive! Due to platform tag mismatch, there wasn't much traffic in the early stages, so I'm asking readers who genuinely like this genre to give it a try. If you find the first few chapters slow, please be patient and read a few more; you definitely won't be disappointed.
