    These three books are highly recommended. The first one features a protagonist whose parents are being hunted down at the beginning, forcing them to embark on a path of cultivation to become stronger.

    A niche, realistic horror novel that scared the crap out of me... I'm not afraid of the author's wild imagination, I'm just terrified that it's based on real events [crying]. Why did I stay up all night reading this? [Crying]
