    🍓🍓🍓Key points: All three books are completed, and all are somewhat mind-bending, especially the first one. The writing is excellent, the logic is rigorous, and it's even a bit mind-bending, with many interconnected events that are very profound, leading to a truly shocking conclusion. Generally, after reading *Lin Du*, it's difficult to get into other mindless novels for a long time. The second and third books are both about rebirth, with relatively positive values, and are related to metaphysics, both involving the theft of one's luck. The female protagonist in the third book is originally from a Taoist sect. These two are also mind-bending, but slightly lighter. Among the novels I've read, the writing of these three is quite good.
