   It is full of suspense and thriller elements. You can also reason along with the author's development. It is written in the first person and the word count is enough to read. The author has also published 2 "Taboo of the Living" is a novel full of suspense and thriller elements. The author uses delicate writing and compact plot design to bring readers into a world full of unknowns and fears. The story revolves around the various strange events the protagonist encounters while exploring forbidden areas. Every turn makes people breathless, as if they are in an environment full of mysteries. Not only is the plot gripping, but the characterization is also excellent! What I like best about Qingyou is that the protagonist Shifu is careless, but he can also be very interesting. The complex personalities and motivations of the supporting characters add more layers to the story. Combining reality and supernatural elements, the story is both true and full of mystery. A suspense and thriller novel, "Taboo" is definitely not to be missed. Feel the tension and excitement while reading! The key is that it's fun! It will also trigger your profound thinking about human nature, morality and taboos. Every incident he writes can be thought through

   A criminal investigation novel that focuses on cases and supplements with emotions. The main thing is the case. From time to time, the male and female protagonists give some candies, which are sweet but not greasy. The male and female protagonists have online IQs and skills. The case is complicated and confusing, and the plot twists and turns, but it does not feel very confusing. The heroines have both backgrounds and secret organizations. Weaving is a clue to promote the development of the plot. Each character is three-dimensional, with advantages and disadvantages. It does not mean that all good people have advantages. Every character is vivid. I have to admire the author's writing style and ability to create characters. Anyway, it is very beautiful. I highly recommend it. I have already read it twice.
