   Reader note

   This book boasts a vast world-building, and unlike other supernatural tales, the ghosts in it are exceptionally clever and cunning. The plot is intricately woven, and foreshadowing largely pays off. However, the writing style and character development are weak and don't do justice to the story. Writing style and character development are crucial. Characters support the plot's narrative, and the author uses them to express deeper themes. Good writing enhances the story, maximizing its impact, and both style and character development attract the reader's interest, guide their emotions, and provoke thought. Well-written characters are usually memorable, but the protagonist of this book only reminds me of "clever," "calm," and "cunning." The funniest thing is that these three words come to mind no matter which character I think of; the characters have virtually no personality differences, making them far too one-dimensional and shallow. Only Ma Liang's character is somewhat decent, at least he has a complete and engaging storyline. As for the writing style, the biggest problem is the excessive use of unnecessary words. A single adjective is repeatedly used in different forms within a single sentence, making it tiring to read. There are also few good rhetorical devices or descriptive techniques, which made me want to abandon the book several times. Overall, this is a very simple intellectual battle novel. The plot is decent, especially the first two arcs, but due to the author's insufficient writing and character development skills, the plot becomes increasingly complex later on, but the writing and character development can't keep up with the pace, resulting in a lack of tension and immersion.
