   The first book, which I'd call the pinnacle of ghost stories, is a fairly pure ghost story novel. It's not overpowered, and most importantly, its world-building is absolutely amazing—you'll understand once you read it. The second book features characters with both high intelligence and physical prowess. The third book might not get much attention; if you don't play King of Glory, don't bother. But if you do, give it a try—it's not great in the early stages, but it gets better in the mid-to-late game. The fourth book is a comedy; it's very funny and doesn't make you stupid.

    The first book was fantastic. The main character has a love interest, but they don't appear much. The characters are very well-developed and relatable; I almost cried several times. The plot was also excellent, the imagination was truly impressive, and I learned a lot from it. The second book was more realistic. It's a crime investigation novel where the main character has no love interest. The main character's best friend has a romantic relationship, but it's glossed over without any romantic subplot. This is the best crime investigation novel I've read so far, and the main character is incredibly popular, making it very exciting to read.
