    The first two books are by the same author, but the characters are quite different and have great depth. The first book is a new work by the author, and I recommend investing in it. The characters are already very well-developed from the start, especially the second book, which has clear logic and many foreshadowing elements. It's considered the first female lead in a sword spirit novel. (Fu Xi's character is truly exceptional. She is gentle yet loves the world, powerful yet deeply emotional, and will personally sever her past naive feelings. She is unwilling to admit defeat or accept fate. A particularly memorable line is, "Can't this world tolerate things that are too extreme? Yet her glass bones were born by her side, and Jingzhe chose her." The male lead's path follows entirely in the footsteps of the female lead. She is a prodigy, the senior sister. She is not wrong; the ones who are wrong are those who hurt her.) The third book is also amazing. Xiao Xi (not a typo, it's a nickname, the author wrote it) is the head of the Wen clan. Her father was one of the prodigies of that time. She is abstract yet powerful, and full of schemes. The logic is clear, there are many foreshadowing elements, and the character is very well-developed. I love it!

    After reading these two books, you'll never say that current cultivation novels are hopeless again. They abandon the clichéd systems and cheat codes, and leave behind the formulaic, mindless wish-fulfillment stories, returning to the most authentic and sincere essence of traditional fantasy. *Old Monkey Cultivates Immortality* tells the story of a human soul transformed into a demon monkey, who walks alone in the mortal world, diligently cultivating his immortal path. The bond between master and disciple is genuine and profound, and the plot is full of foreshadowing. *Immortal Falls into the Corpse Path* tells the story of an immortal soul fallen into a post-apocalyptic world, traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood alone. He grows stronger against adversity, and beneath the bloodshed lies unwavering affection. The plot is intricately woven and logically sound. Both are well-crafted and meticulously crafted works, with a simple and elegant writing style and profound, thought-provoking storylines.
