   The first one I recently finished reading was alright, quite enjoyable. The second one was the first novel of this genre I ever read; it was still being serialized at the time, but I reluctantly gave up on it. I prefer to finish a complete book in one go for maximum enjoyment. After finishing this one, I reread it, and it was quite addictive. For a long time afterward, I couldn't find any other books of this genre that I felt were so good, until I read "The Academician's Rebirth." The title seemed ordinary at the time, but I was surprised by how well it was written. I've also read the other three, but those are my favorites—they're definitely worth reading.
