   The first two books are both very good and worth reading, and they should be considered male-oriented novels. The third book might be a bit off-putting at first, but once you get to the end, you'll be truly captivated. The writing style is very vivid, but this one seems to have a little bit of angst. Although it seems to be a no-romance novel, the author has already posted some extra chapters about them on Weibo.
