   The first book focuses on pure weapon crafting, with the author hailed as a blacksmithing saint. The second book is a semi-formation-based story emphasizing invincibility. The third book teaches how to become a saint through military training—genius is merely the threshold to my mastery. The fourth book also involves weapon crafting, but not extensively. The fifth book doesn't involve weapon crafting, but the writing is excellent. I only recommend high-quality, safe, well-written books that I'll stay up all night to read.
