    1. Zhang Asi's early recommendation: one of my favorite novels. The author padded the word count later, dropping the rating from 9.8 To 9.0. 2. Zuo B blames himself; a wife should be like An Rushuang. 3. Song Yang is the perfect protagonist. No cultivation; a novel where you can learn a lot. Suitable for reading while eating. The downside is the protagonist's overpowered buffs. 4. The protagonist is incredibly stupid, inexplicably going east or west in the romance. Zhang Hazi is awesome. 5. Pretty good, I've forgotten a bit, the early part was very impressive. 6. I think this is a very good novel, the power levels are consistent, no female lead (it's a pity 😞 there almost was a female lead but the protagonist returned already married, after all, the five deficiencies and three lacks). The ending is also very good. I think consistent power levels are the foundation of supernatural novels (many novels are scary in the beginning but end up with cultivation). The ending shows the protagonist having experienced many hardships, a fateful duel in the snow, and going back home for the New Year made me cry. The downside is that the early part about learning Taoist magic is rushed, there are too few chapters, but it's one of my favorite novels. 7. That Hua Jiunan, the author's writing is very good, but the power levels are too inconsistent later on. He's very respectful in the beginning, but later he's like a brother to the King of Hell.

    A score of 9.6 Or higher is a bit difficult, but these are some of my best books, especially good. The first one is pure suspense and supernatural, quite mind-bending but not too scary; those who enjoy intellectual stimulation might enjoy it.

    It's not a lighthearted, wish-fulfillment story; the writing is excellent. Although it's the author's first book, it's definitely not amateurish. It leans towards a traditional style, but the content has its own unique flair, and might even be a completely new genre. However, it can be quite obscure and difficult to understand at first glance, making it more suitable for readers with a certain level of reading experience and a broad perspective.
