   It's incredibly good!!! Seriously!!! Although the second book has a lower rating, it's really quite good! My personal feeling: the second edition isn't as impactful after finishing it; it's relatively smooth, but the protagonist's character is well-developed, decisive and ruthless. The first book, on the other hand, had a very strong impact after finishing it; I couldn't get over it for a long time, and the protagonist was truly well-developed!!

   🔥🍃Highly recommended!!! It's truly worth reading. This first book has a dark yet warm tone. It features ghost-raising and murderous acts with cruel methods, and every revenge plot is thrilling. However, reflecting on the tragedies behind these revenge plots is quite unsettling. I'm generally afraid of ghosts, but the ghosts in this book didn't frighten me. Instead, I found the daily lives of the protagonist and the little ghost very heartwarming. I hope this book is completed successfully and brings justice to those children.
