   These two books are truly masterpieces, perfect ensemble pieces. "Domain River" is incredibly moving; sometimes it gave me goosebumps. And some seemingly insignificant details in the beginning, when you look back later, you'll find that two events are connected, actually foreshadowed earlier, giving you a sudden, chilling feeling. Truly masterpieces! The characters are all so well-developed. Li Yinghe's team made me cry buckets... And I really love Little Monkey and Du Tingfeng!! They're so handsome!!!

   I highly recommend this book! I've given up on *Yuhe*, and I've also read *Ten Days to the End* and *The Ghost House*, but this is my favorite. The logic is incredibly strong, the male lead is very intelligent, and most importantly, the ghosts are also very clever. I thoroughly enjoyed watching *Ace vs Ace*, the battle of wits was so satisfying! Some parts were genuinely scary; putting myself in the shoes of the supporting characters, I felt truly hopeless. I really recommend it! How come no one has discovered this gem?

Book 4 is alright; it's better than most of Tomato's other eerie infinite flow novels. It's a good substitute while waiting for updates after reading the others. Books 5 and 8 are rule-based ghost story infinite flow novels. I recommend book 5; if you like cunning characters, read it. Book 8 is also good, although the protagonist in the first ghost story is a bit dim-witted, but it gets better afterward. Book 6 is a representative work of the "Survival for All" infinite flow novel. Book 7 is a masterpiece and I won't introduce it. Book 9 also needs no introduction; everyone should know it.

   The first and third books are written by the same author and are just as good as *The Haunted House*. The dungeons are terrifying, the logic is rigorous, there are many plot twists, and the oppressive feeling of the ghosts is extremely strong, making you feel completely immersed and breathless. The protagonist doesn't have any special abilities. Also, the opening dungeon is very good. For the first book, I recommend the dungeons "False Zen Temple" and "Gathering Bones in the Graveyard," with "Gathering Bones in the Graveyard" echoing the first dungeon. For the third book, I recommend the dungeon "Endless Night." As for the second book, aside from the first dungeon being a bit weak, the second one gets better and better as it goes on, becoming quite exciting. I recommend the dungeon [Domain·Tuotuo Mountain].
