   "Tags of the Living" needs no introduction; it's a pinnacle of supernatural fiction. The most popular novel of its time, "The Ghost Wife," originated from "Tags of the Living." The characters are exceptionally well-developed, especially Ru Shuang, who is undoubtedly one of the best-developed female leads across all platforms. You'll definitely regret not reading this one. "Heavenly Coffin" has a few angst-filled moments, but the ending is happy. However, many characters and events are left unresolved. The character development is also quite good, although the male lead is a bit dim-witted in the early stages. But once you read around chapters 100-200, you'll find yourself wanting to keep reading. (Note: The last sentence, "Everyone will drop little pearls," appears to be an unrelated comment and has been omitted from the translation.)

    The novel *The Haunted House* features a single female lead, Bai Xiaoxiao, with little romantic involvement. The main appeal lies in its exciting dungeons; aside from the protagonist, the entire party is essentially wiped out in the end. Since it's being developed as a series, the ending can be considered an open ending, with a second part expected in the latter half of next year (very heartbreaking). *The Ghost Patrol* features Qingzi, a powerful female lead who starts at max level. However, being a ghost patroller is tough, and the training methods are somewhat cruel. The protagonist is a growth-oriented character, invincible among her peers, but encountering only veterans makes the experience slightly less engaging. There's also little romantic involvement, as the focus of this supernatural horror genre is on fighting the supernatural. Furthermore, the book is written in the first person, making it difficult to discern the female lead's feelings for the protagonist; their relationship is only confirmed in the finale (a happy ending). The novel *Three Corpses' Tale* is hard to evaluate. The female lead, Ling Jiang, has even less of a romantic storyline, and I couldn't see how she fell for the protagonist. However, the protagonist is a genuinely ordinary person, and his reactions to the supernatural are very realistic. The protagonist's role seems to be to reveal the inner workings of the artisan (similar to Taoist priests, some people who fight against the supernatural) circle from an ordinary person's perspective. This book definitely has the best and scariest horror atmosphere among the three, but it's only suitable for those who crave thrills (slightly angsty). *My Body Has a Ghost* features the female lead, Ji Wange. I read this two years ago and have almost forgotten it. Only the "Cave World" part involves ghost hunting; once outside, it's about cultivation. It's the only one of the four to be about cultivation; the other three are purely supernatural horror with a villainous style. Jiang Xiao started as a student at the Heavenly Mystery Palace, but by chance, he was pulled into the underworld by a ghost driver. To save his life, he joined the ghost camp and became the Northern Underworld Ghost (happy ending).

    It's really good, especially the third book, Tomato's First Deep Affection. Don't let the low rating of the second book fool you; it has great potential. The fourth book leans towards fantasy but has many highlights and is excellent. The last book is a post-apocalyptic story with supernatural elements; the writing is very good, it reflects reality, and it's thought-provoking. You absolutely must read the seventh book if you have the time, or you'll regret it later.
