    The first book has a slightly clichéd plot in the early stages, but the author's writing is good. The story really takes off after the protagonist leaves Earth. It has over 4,000 chapters and is already completed, so feel free to read it. The second book is alright, I don't know what to say, just that it's okay. I haven't finished the third book either, but I found it quite funny, so I'd recommend it. The fourth book is a supernatural novel, quite good, with a strong first-person immersion. It's an older book, so I'd recommend it.
