   The first book was really good, over 400 chapters, which I caught up with. The author's readership is too low, so there aren't many ratings, which isn't as scary, but the main characters are very well-developed. They're like real people; they feel fear, greed, anger, and impulsiveness. The main plot unfolds little by little, and the family relationships are very well portrayed. There's no romantic pairing or any ambiguous feelings. The two brothers, Tiger and Mighty, kept me on the edge of my seat. You can tell from the ratings of the second book that it's also very good!

    1. Fast-paced, the ghosts are cunning and vicious, devoid of emotion, only interested in killing. The protagonist has no special abilities, while the supporting characters are intelligent and capable. 2. Leaning towards adventure, it feels somewhat like the style of "Ghost Blows Out the Light," but not particularly scary. 3. A story about national destiny and battlefields, but the characters are intelligent and capable. The premise is good, involving the entertainment industry, but even those who aren't fans of celebrities can understand it. 4. There's no possibility of negotiation with the ghosts; they are purely evil. The dungeons are excellent and quite scary, featuring the concept of supernatural beings, but using them comes at a price. 5. A fast-paced, enjoyable read.
