    These are some of the better books I've read. The first one has excellent character development and the author's writing is quite good. Plus, if you read the author's (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) chapters, you'll find the author is a very interesting person. As for the second one, it's by a new author, so the rating might be a bit low right now. Also, the part where the male lead is with his sister might be a little silly, but the writing is still good, and the setting and plot are excellent. If you find anything wrong, feel free to comment, and the author will usually revise it if they think it makes sense. As for the third one, just read it yourself; it's a pretty enjoyable read.

    Reader note

    A mystery/revival story, no system, no female lead, and no cheat codes. Already 500,000 words long, the original and bizarre elements are incredibly novel. The S-rank dungeons are more difficult than those featuring starving ghosts or ghost messengers. It's not the kind of ghost-on-the-face terror, but rather the chilling subtlety of patterns and puzzles! Highly recommended!!
