   The female lead is the strongest in the story, but she doesn't catch ghosts. It feels like she's a god who runs a small, unassuming restaurant called "Flavorless Restaurant" in the human world, telling a series of short stories about cause and effect, karma, and reincarnation. Once you start reading the first two stories, you can't stop; it's quite interesting and engaging.

    After reading for 11 hours, I'm definitely writing a truly enjoyable read. It has the brain-teasing elements, but most of it is mindless. Real life is so tiring, reading this is a great way to unwind. Things I once dared not even dream of are reflected in the author's writing. The author's judgment of reality is clear and transparent, showing concern for the reader's feelings. It deserves five stars. Remember, don't use your brain when reading this kind of story; otherwise, what's the point of enjoying a lighthearted read? I hope the author keeps their promise not to use any violence. @TomWithoutHair The appearance of time-related paradoxes in the story shows the author has good writing skills and insightful thinking, and understands the fantasies of ordinary people. After all, who doesn't want a love where there are no surprises? Who doesn't want a carefree, famous, and powerful status? Actually, many lighthearted stories reflect real life. Generally speaking, stories like "Godslayer" require strong logical thinking to understand and appreciate, but lighthearted stories have their own characteristics. If you choose to read it, don't approach it with the mindset of reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Finally, I hope the author continues to thrive; I still rely on authors to provide my mental relaxation 😳
