   The male protagonist grew up in a strange village, but none of the village's supernatural beings dared to provoke him. When he was young, the supernatural beings were afraid of his crying. They wanted to starve him and then eat him, but when he cried, the supernatural beings were almost gone. Because he had lived in this strange village since childhood, he didn't know that the villagers weren't human. And because the supernatural beings feared he would kill them when he grew up, they carefully taught him to be a good socialist youth. When he left the village, the whole village cheered.

   The first book features a protagonist who is a supernatural being. The second book is an ensemble piece, subverting the usual tropes. While the author cares about the protagonist, they don't dwell on it too much, as they're too preoccupied with the chaotic situation at the time. The protagonist is intelligent, the author has a clear outline, and the story is well-structured; it's a new book I highly recommend. The third book features a protagonist who died unjustly, killing thousands, and was subsequently taken in by the government, uncovering a series of missions. However, the protagonist always has demands; they won't give anything away for free. The fourth book features a protagonist who was a policeman who died in a mission and ended up in a supernatural world. A female police officer keeps burning incense and offerings to him, gradually strengthening him—it's quite charming, funny, and touching. The fifth book features a protagonist who transmigrates into the body of a supernatural being, or rather, he *is* that supernatural being. He's very gentle, incredibly sweet, and it's hard to describe him. Unlike other protagonists who are often irritable, he's a true gentleman.
