   Reader note

   The first book is excellent. Although some settings are incomplete and there are some plot holes, it's still very good, with a novel worldview. The writing is also very smooth, with three updates daily, a very consistent output. The second book is also very good, highlighting the power of immortals, with a novel setting. It's about fighting against twisted and disordered beings, turning illusion into reality in a chaotic, distorted, slumbering dream. It's very interesting, but unfortunately, fewer people read it. The third book is about cultivating a strange path of martial arts. The protagonist can solve special events and steal the lifespan of others as a reward. The descriptions are more realistic, conveying the vicissitudes and helplessness of martial arts and the strange path. Personally, I think it's slightly weaker than the first two, but still very good. The fourth book features a protagonist immune to the twisted forces in cultivation, a grand worldview, and excellent writing. The only drawback is that some chapters have somewhat vague emotional descriptions, making them a bit drawn out and tedious. However, it's still a very good book overall.
