    Reader note

    The first book deals with unorthodox and unconventional practices, and the writing is quite good. It depicts the competition and scramble for resources among these practitioners in the late stages of spiritual cultivation. The second book also deals with unorthodox and unconventional practices, but it feels more focused on the pursuit of techniques. Overall, both books are very good and worth reading.

    It's definitely worth reading. The writing style leans towards dark but also has a touch of warmth. Every revenge plot is captivating, but thinking about the tragedies behind these revenges is quite distressing. I'm usually afraid of ghosts, but the ghosts in this book didn't frighten me. Instead, I found watching the protagonist and the little ghost's daily life very heartwarming. I hope this book can be completed well and bring justice to those children.
