    Reader note

    The first story, "A Hundred Years of Prison Suppression," tells of a protagonist who inherits his father's position as a prison guard. Due to the prison's malevolent energy harming his health, he is on the verge of death. However, he activates a system that allows him to randomly acquire cultivation techniques, power levels, secrets, and weapons by touching corpses. After escaping the inevitable death trap set by the malevolent energy, he follows the philosophy that with great power comes great responsibility, battling demons, monsters, and treacherous officials. Emulating the enforcers of the night, he maintains two identities with a single goal under the guise of a righteous path: to give back the acquired opportunities to the world. The second story, which received a higher score, is a more complex tale about the son of a disgraced official gathering opportunities by touching corpses in prison. This story also has its own strengths and is worth checking out. ============ The second story, with its high score, naturally has its unique features. Personally, I think the main strengths are the protagonist's special soul control and the concept of the Golden Dragon of Fortune. It's also primarily based on a high-martial arts world setting. Of course, it also involves acquiring various opportunities by touching corpses. However, it also has weaknesses: the plot threads and the ending seem to connect to different dimensions, and there are signs that newcomers to the cultivation world might stumble upon it, before the story abruptly ends. ============ The third story follows a similar pattern. It also seems to have a hint of mutual respect between the male protagonist and a demonic female cult member, and it's highly likely that the male protagonist cultivates both righteous and demonic arts, thus changing his world. The basic settings are based on the layered model of the Heavenly Prison. This story sets the key NPC, the Golden Dragon of Fortune, as a dead dragon of malevolent energy. The Heavenly Prison not only suppresses the dead dragon but also serves to gather spiritual energy for powerful weapons. It reads well, quite smoothly, and doesn't deviate from basic logic. I recommend reading it. =========== The fourth story is a reverse Heavenly Prison, with the male protagonist being a top-ranking scholar imprisoned. The characters are somewhat reminiscent of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Wu of Han. The male protagonist's grandfather was an emperor, but he killed his wife and the crown prince. The male protagonist appears to be the crown prince's illegitimate son, escaping the massacre by chance. However, the palace forces already knew of his existence, and after he became the top scholar, they found an opportunity to imprison him in the Heavenly Prison, leading to a power struggle between the old emperor and the harem. The male protagonist naturally has the advantage of being able to absorb the protagonist's cheat abilities, such as lifespan, cultivation techniques, and memories. Overall, it's not bad.
