   Reader note

   The first book is my top recommendation. Because it's set in a supernatural world, it's more like a world of supernatural immortals and demons. Battles mostly involve using unique artifacts and spells to counter and break through supernatural forces. The writing is excellent, and the plot is good. The only downsides are that it's quite long and feels a bit padded out; the ending was also rather rushed. However, it's still a very good book. The second book is well-written at the beginning, but there are occasional minor flaws. Personally, I think it's still acceptable and fairly standard. The third book is a Western fantasy Cthulhu story. There aren't any obvious flaws at the beginning; the logic is sound. If you like this genre, don't miss it.

    This is a very high-quality book! It's set in a Cthulhu fantasy world! It's a pity it's not a wish-fulfillment story and isn't very popular, but once you get past the first few chapters, the later plot is absolutely amazing! The author has an incredible imagination! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys plot-driven stories!
