   The third and fifth books are the same one, and it's incredibly popular. Look for Hua Zi; he's the pioneer of the "Ghost Control" genre! He's also my eternal idol! You should check out the second book; it's still being serialized. Attentive readers will definitely notice something at the end… It doesn't plagiarize any works, but the writing style is indeed somewhat similar. The "Infinite Contract" theme is a bit off.
