   I've been listening to "The Burial Realm" recently, and I think it's really good. I've only listened to about 200 chapters, but the storyline is quite good. The second book is also a leveling-up story, and the protagonist often engages in sneaky development, which is also quite good. The third book... While the early part, the school and Earth sections, was a bit boring, especially the part where people come looking for tea, it gets quite good later on. The fourth book is one of the first books I followed, and it's also very good; I recommend it. The fifth book, "Everyone's Game," besides having multiple female leads, I think everything else is great. The plot, the descriptions of the vehicles, and the battle scenes are all excellent.
