   The first book is definitely one of the pinnacles of the supernatural genre. Just the 313,000 reads speak for themselves. Each story is quite good, making it perfect for sitting at the bottom of your bookshelf. It's one of those books where the connections between the stories aren't particularly strong. If you get tired of reading it for a while, you can leave it at the bottom of your bookshelf for half a year, and then when you're in a reading slump, you can pick it up and continue reading. It's a lifesaver for when you're experiencing a reading slump! [Smile] The second book is kind of invincible, but not the kind where the protagonist stops eating beef after realizing he's invincible. It's very relaxing to read (eating fish is so cute!). So far, it seems there's no female lead, but the protagonist gets along very well with the female characters. In short, it's a great relaxation tool when you're emotionally exhausted from reading various kinds of lighthearted or angsty novels. [Smile]
