    The first book was alright, quite enjoyable, but the horror level was a bit low. The protagonist of this book is a psychopath. The second book isn't much different from the first, but the main character is... Well, he's indifferent. The third book was alright; the main character was also a bit abnormal. (The above three books are all decent, similar but not too scary, and can be read as lighthearted reads, suitable for both day and night.) The fourth book is commendable; the first half was well-written, but what happened to the poorly written ending? Did the author come back and fix it? The fifth book... Well, let's just say it's a bit messy, but that doesn't affect the overall feel. It's quite scary, the kind of creepy that sends chills down your spine. I wouldn't recommend reading it at night; it'll give you a real cold sweat.

    If you like Thai doll gods or card games, you can check out the second part. It's suspenseful yet humorous, with a compelling story and characters that will leave you feeling unsettled. "Three Corpses' Language" is also top-notch, with nuanced character development. I've already watched it twice and can't forget Zhang Hazi. The protagonist might not be the smartest, but he's not particularly stupid either.

    The first book is "By the Mandate of Heaven" (cannot be found by searching on Tomato). The second book, "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" (can be considered a sequel to "By the Mandate of Heaven," but it features a different protagonist; you'll understand why after reading both books). The third book is "The Ferryman to the Underworld" (a book by Third Master, worth reading).
