   Well, I've been reading horror and supernatural novels for seven or eight years now, both old and new. While the ratings might not be high and they might not suit everyone's taste, I feel these books are still pretty good; at least they kept me reading until the end. Here's a brief overview: "Feng Shui Strange Events" was finished last year; it was very engaging, with a fast-paced plot, but the ending was a bit rushed. You could check it out. "The Ghost Wife's Beloved" was just finished; it has elements of cultivation but wasn't boring, and the plot flows exceptionally smoothly—overall, it's good. "The Mountain Guardian" was read two years ago; you can stop reading around chapters 456; the beginning is quite good. "The Ghost Wife's Way" is better in the beginning than the end; you could give it a try. "The Spirit Coffin's Night Journey" was read a year ago; I remember it being related to a certain novel, and overall it was alright. "Suppressing the Dragon" is an interesting book; it used to be called "Nine Yin Ghost Coffin." I followed it for a while; some plot holes were left unfilled, but overall it was okay. K; I forgot the plot of "My Stunning Ghost Wife", but it's very short and readable; I personally think "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" is okay, although it has a bit of a harem element; "The Heavenly Coffin" is a no-brainer for those looking for destiny, background, or a wife; "Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts" is very funny and engaging, not scary, just go for it; "The Fierce Ghost Bride" left a deep impression, simply put, it's short and concise; "The Haunted Bed" is good in the beginning, a bit boring in the middle, and has a secret in the end, go read it yourself; "The Ghost Patrolman" can only be described as going from low to high, from weak to strong, not satisfying but with a wife; "The Terrifying Taxi" is also quite memorable, guys should like to read it, hahaha; "Fortune Teller" - do you want to have a master-disciple romance? I personally think it's great; "Death Fortune Teller" - please allow me to give it a great rating, even if the sequel isn't as good as the first, but Tang Man is my white moonlight after all; "The Taboo of the Living" is also okay, the wife is good, the protagonist is awesome, the second part is finished, but I haven't had time to read it yet. Most of the above feature beautiful women, so everyone is welcome to check them out. Hopefully, this will help you overcome your reading slump.

    The first two books were, in my opinion, the pinnacle of the supernatural genre. They purely recounted eerie and supernatural events, creating a highly immersive experience, making me feel like I was experiencing them firsthand. After reading them, I was even a little afraid to sleep alone. The third book, a pure horror read, is a supernatural story with a touch of humor. It's not purely scary, leaning towards a lighter tone, but there are still plenty of ghosts in it. The author loves to make suggestive jokes, and quite frequently, which makes reading it quite enjoyable.

    The author, Wang Quanyue, writes many excellent books with great prose. She clearly loves her characters. Whether it's a female-oriented novel or not is currently undisputed. Her first book, a new work, is very promising and worth investing in. It's a super good read. The female lead marries the King of Hell to extend her life, agreeing to divorce him after a certain time. She happily agrees, but after the divorce, she remarries—and it's her third marriage! (The male lead is the King of Hell.) The second book tells the story of a female lead whose good fortune was exhausted when the male lead was undergoing a tribulation as a child. Afterwards, she suffers a string of bad luck and is almost married off to a ghost. To save her life, she seeks help from an ancestor but unexpectedly begs the male lead. The male lead tricks her into signing a marriage contract the first time they meet… (The male lead is a fox.) The third book tells the story of a female lead who marries the male lead from childhood to save her life. She has always kept her distance from boys, but when she is nineteen, she and the male lead… (The male lead is the Dragon King.)
