   The first book is about raising a human-eating Gu, a dark cultivation novel where everyone is evil, and those with high cultivation eat those with low cultivation—it has a Cthulhu vibe and is very addictive. The second book is bizarre; the protagonist is immortal and specializes in demonic arts, crushing all monsters and demons—it's incredibly good. The third book involves the protagonist traveling between two worlds, cultivating demonic arts and then cultivating immortality on a zombie planet. The fourth book is about unorthodox methods leading to enlightenment; the protagonist cultivates demonic arts, seeking only the ultimate clarity of mind. Known as the Flower-Supporting Daoist, he carries a Human Emperor Banner that can be used to collect things wherever he goes. Fellow Daoist, may I enter my Human Emperor Banner for a chat?
