    The first book has two parts. The protagonist is a guide, and Black Impermanence is his powerful backer. The second book starts with a mother-and-child ghost entanglement; a female ghost crawls out of a cinnabar coffin behind the protagonist. However, the protagonist has a very powerful boss, and his background is not simple either. The third book's protagonist's profession is burying corpses, dealing with abnormal bodies such as coffins that can't be lifted, floating corpses in water, male corpses that refuse to let go in the sewers, and corpses exuding malevolent energy. The fourth book, I need to say in advance, the first few hundred chapters are very good, but stop reading when the Dharma-ending Age arrives. Pangu and God appear later, but the part about collecting corpses is really good, with a high level of suspense. The protagonist isn't a big shot; he's guided by his boss, Zhang Sanfen. He's a bit of a saint at the beginning and gets deceived, so many people criticize him. However, the later part about the protagonist and Zhang Sanfen choosing to burn the corpses of those who harmed them under the influence of power, and then being hunted down, is worth reading. After all, it's impossible to leave the corpses of those who harmed them alive just because the other party is a high-ranking official. I really admire Zhang Sanfen and like his character. The fifth book features a protagonist who dreams every day of people walking past him, and he then guides them to the door. Later, it involves a group of immortals, and the protagonist's group is complete: fortune tellers, shamans, corpse controllers, witchcraft practitioners… The author has also started a second book, but since it's new and not written in the first person, I haven't read it yet; it's a sequel to this one. The sixth book is already very popular, with good writing, a large world-building, and comprehensive descriptions of sect rules. It fills in plot holes and the plot is well-developed. There's a second male lead who is a good partner, one yin and one yang. This book doesn't focus on cultivation; it's more about Chinese horror, depicting ghosts that might be encountered in daily life, such as a hanged person touching the shoulder of the person below, or someone breathing in your ear while you sleep. All six of these books are without female leads and don't have any romance plots. The seventh book has a female lead. The protagonist is very strong, making it a satisfying read, as he pursues revenge while investigating the truth. I haven't finished this one, but the beginning of the story is excellent. The protagonist also takes in a zombie and cares for it daily, creating a rather terrifying atmosphere. While the protagonist isn't a saintly figure but is decisive and ruthless, he also values ​​relationships. However, I felt his interactions with the female lead were too forced; it would have been better if there were fewer romantic subplots.

    The first book is good, with a sequel; click on the author to see their bookshelf. The second book is good. The third book is good, telling the story of two protagonists who become soul-borrowers and their experiences. The fourth book is a Northern School tomb raiding story. The fifth book tells the story of the protagonist's uncle and the protagonist's exploration experiences. The sixth book is about ghost hunting. The seventh book revolves around the protagonist being a last bus driver, experiencing ghostly events, and solving ghost stories (it's been a while, so I don't remember it very clearly). The eighth book is good, but it has two male protagonists; those who like that can check it out (the romance should be later?). I only read the first part of this book, and I thought the first part was excellent, but I don't know about the later plot.
