    Two different styles. The second book blends joy with warmth and sorrow… The first book blends oppression with genuine emotion and perseverance… The first book is an introductory text for those who have read *Rules of the Strange*. The author uses delicate prose to depict realistic civilizations and their demise. The protagonist initially believes they are just ordinary NPCs. In one instance, he encounters someone who, because he follows the protagonist, is mistakenly believed to be spying on him (and is wary). However, in the next instance, fate intervenes, and they become partners and friends. He dies for his friend, ultimately perishing in that civilization and that country. Perhaps there will be no protagonist, no that person, but there will be another… He stepped up to save the country... A battle of wits and courage, countless deductions, the result of his countless deaths, all for one perfect final outcome. The second book is a humorous and funny story with a 9.6 Rating, so the content is definitely good. It's funny with many touching moments; you'll definitely laugh and cry, but it's absolutely not angsty. Highly recommended! The protagonist is fearless, given his extraordinary talent, but humorous stories are all about being lighthearted, and this isn't a mindless story at all; the writing is quite good too.
