    This book is truly phenomenal; you'll miss out if you don't read it. [A veteran bookworm is moved to tears] Finally, I've found the hardcore eerie novel with the feel of "Mysterious Resurgence"! Back in the day, most readers who followed classic eerie novels were probably looking for similar works, right? Either the system was overpowered, turning it into a mindless wish-fulfillment story, or the rules were fragmented and the logic collapsed. Finding a truly hardcore novel that "fights the supernatural with the supernatural" was incredibly difficult. Until I discovered "Starting from the Reflection in the Mirror," after flipping through a few chapters, I knew it was the right one. There are no flashy systems, no protagonists with the halo of overpowered opponents; it's just ordinary people struggling to survive within supernatural rules, relying on dismantling the rules and borrowing supernatural powers to carve out a path to survival. The logic of the ghost realm's hierarchical suppression and the balance of supernatural objects is clear and rigorous, inheriting the hardcore feel of classic eerie novels. The two main brothers are neither saintly nor reckless; their intelligence is consistently high, and every near-death experience is traceable. Currently at over 300,000 words, the world-building is steadily unfolding, with no signs of collapse in the later stages. If you miss the hardcore, eerie writing style of yesteryear, this is the book for you – it's the ultimate nostalgia-filled experience.
