   I highly recommend the first book, *Yan Yu Lou*. Don't be intimidated by the 1600+ chapters; the updates are slow and the chapters are short, so I suggest waiting a while before reading it! Yes, I waited a year, and finished it in a month! It wasn't enough! *Yan Yu Lou* has been adapted into a comic, so you can read it along with the comic. The second and fourth books lean a bit towards cultivation fantasy. The third book, *Xue Zhong Bian*, needs no introduction; it was adapted into a TV series, which was okay, but the special effects were a bit lacking.

    Give my book a try. Updates are stable. Tomato Books is now rife with vote-buying and traffic manipulation.

I'm just a poor author who only focuses on writing style, details, and plot. I don't want to manipulate votes; I just want to write well.

    Both books are excellent, depicting brotherhood and camaraderie in the martial arts world. They're about to meet again, a bond forged in the martial arts realm! Each has its flaws, but those flaws are unavoidable because they're both so compelling. In short, they're incredibly good, definitely worth reading, and highly recommended!

    A blend of high-level martial arts and low-level mystical arts, a portrait of the martial arts world! The author constructs the martial arts world through the grudges between good and evil, illustrating the principle of cause and effect, and the helplessness of human nature, inherently good, yet falling into darkness due to the cruel twists of fate. The plot is coherent and smooth, with each event intricately linked. Furthermore, the author excels at character development; every character in the book is memorable. A good book worth reading.
