   Both *The Gluttonous Tale* and *The Gluttonous Lady* use food as a medium to tell the stories behind it, while *The Hundred Demon Records* feels a bit like *Journey to the West*, where after solving one problem, you set off for the next. However, *The Gluttonous Tale* and *The Hundred Demon Records* lean more towards supernatural tales and are highly recommended for fans of fantasy.
