   Reader note

   I've listened to and read this book for over a hundred hours straight. It's incredibly logical and definitely a great supernatural novel. Although it doesn't have a thousand chapters, it has many long chapters, totaling over a million words. The protagonist doesn't have a system or are invincible. The beginning is slow-paced, and the setting is similar to a mystical resurgence. However, the supporting characters are very well-developed. The protagonist relies entirely on his supernatural abilities (which come at a price) and his own wisdom to carve out his own path in the supernatural world, starting as a working-class person. Perhaps the slow pace at the beginning is why it hasn't become more popular. The author isn't feeling well right now, so I hope everyone can support the author and not let their hard work go to waste. 🥺

   The first book features ghost-controlling, rebirth, no romance, and a fast-paced, satisfying story. The protagonist starts by subduing S-class ghosts and embarks on a killing spree, without any unnecessary dragging or overly sentimental moments. The plot unfolds layer by layer, making for a good read. The second book combines ghost-controlling, humor, and invincibility. It has a high rating, a novel concept, good writing, and is incredibly funny. The protagonist can contract an unlimited number of ghosts, meaning either one person can take on a whole group of them, or a group of them can defeat one.
