    The first and fifth books are, in my opinion, the best. The author of the first book didn't forget to fill in the plot holes while creating them; the logic is sound and the plot is good. The protagonist doesn't have a cultivation level because he didn't join a sect, but because it's a bizarre cultivation story, it's mostly based on the principle of restraint. It's not a typical wish-fulfillment novel; the plot is slightly padded, but it's still a rare gem. The third book is a Western fantasy/Cthulhu type and is also very good.

I saw my senior brother gouge out his eyes to prove his Dao, and my senior sister cut off her fingers in pursuit of immortality. When it was my turn, the System suddenly crashed and displayed a line of garbled text: “Warning: The Heavenly D 1.9kReads—Score217Shelves

    The first book is the best. Its logic and plot demonstrate the author's literary skill, and the plot holes are all resolved effectively. The protagonist grows stronger step by step, facing life-or-death situations along the way. It's about the false cultivation of immortality, which comes at a price, and who knows what the real cultivation method is? They all seem good, especially the first one ଘ(੭•͈⚇•͈)੭[Sending heart]
