    These are all pretty good, with engaging plots. They've also been updated frequently, making them very enjoyable to read. The first one has a strong martial arts vibe, the protagonist is positive and driven, it's a pure romance, and the main plot revolves around fortune-telling to become stronger and finding the method to transform into a dragon. The second one is a fanfiction based on a movie/TV series. It's worth checking out. The following books are also very good, including those with leveling-up, system, and corpse-worshiping themes. Hope this helps!

    Reader note

    This novel about spirits is really well-written, with a novel setting. The lives of spirits are quite difficult; they are controlled by both their own court and human society's relevant departments. They don't possess any magical arts or spells; spirits are simply longer-lived, enhanced versions of humans. They struggle to make a living through various jobs and hardships. The female protagonist is a human who lives with a group of spirits while carrying out missions. The entire book is a collection of their daily lives and individual stories about each character, warm and delicate, and very enjoyable.
