    I recommend this book. It doesn't rely on rebirth, cheat codes, clichés, or formulas. It relies solely on clever settings and a grand worldview to construct a beautiful and fantastical story. Although it's a new book, it already has 300,000 words, and the author updates very quickly. If you have a few minutes, give it a try. If you can get into it, you'll keep reading. It's suspenseful, imaginative, and terrifyingly supernatural, but not your average horror. It's the kind of psychological terror that's created through the scenes, atmosphere, and plot. An endless dreamscape, a corridor you can't escape no matter what, bustling streets during the day, and everyone silently going to the auditorium at night for a terrifying ritual. Every other night, people disappear. It's a series of layers of suspense and plot twists. The only problem is that you might actually be a little scared at night.

    "The Taboos of the Living" brought me a unique surprise. The plot begins when the protagonist is nine years old, and his grandfather, in an attempt to save him, arranges for him to marry a thousand-year-old female ghost. Because of this ghost wife, the protagonist embarks on a path of cultivation. Along this path, he encounters all sorts of ghosts and witnesses many terrifying folk tales. However, I believe this novel is more than just a supernatural horror story. Beyond its humorous atmosphere, it also uses a serious tone, through the characters' voices, to express the author's worldview and values (I must say, Lao Jiu's values are very sound).
