    Both are suspenseful and supernatural horror novels, neither with a female lead. The protagonists are intelligent and not simplistic. In the first book, the male protagonist can see supernatural phenomena before the game begins, and is mistaken for a mental patient and confined to a mental hospital. After participating in the game, he discovers a trading system where he develops followers, steals faith, and becomes a god. The writing is quite good. In the second book, the male protagonist's fate is too good; he shouldn't have survived, but he survives thanks to the protection of the goddess Mazu. While others who use spirit writing are chosen by the gods, the protagonist can choose many. After reaching adulthood, he follows a master to learn Taoism.
