Why isn't the evil in reality the most realistic rule-based ghost story? [Almost crying] The female protagonist is intelligent throughout the entire story, there's no ambiguity, and she solves cases the whole time (the romance in the last chapter can be ignored, the female protagonist is the only one who shines). 2. If you like fast-paced stories, go for it! [Heavy punch] It's guaranteed to be satisfying, don't be fooled by the ratings. 3. This one is even scarier. The female protagonist dies at the beginning and then comes back to life. The author has planted the seeds very deep, you won't expect the ending until the very end. 4. The female protagonist is purely evil. It's a good read, and you'll never hold a grudge. If you want to kill time and have a great time, choose this one.

    This book is absolutely fantastic!
