    The first book is fantastic! The plot is fresh and the writing is humorous. Every season brings a surprise, and it features a diverse cast of domestic and international female celebrities, including Taylor Swift, the Kardashians, and Yang Mi. Unlike many high-scoring novels that are all the same, this one is incredibly enjoyable to read. It's already over 1.8 million words long and highly recommended. The second book is also very interesting. The protagonist is a Taoist priest who teaches Kobe martial arts, helps him make a comeback, and together they dominate the league.
