   It seems like it caught up in two days. It was really enjoyable and quite addictive. The protagonist's feeling of having everything under control gave me goosebumps.

   All are protagonist/antagonist stories, suspenseful with no romance. They're mostly feel-good novels. The first one involves the villain infiltrating the heroes? So far, it seems there are no tragic elements, and the protagonist has two identities. The second one has the protagonist mysteriously infiltrating the human world. The third one is similar. The fourth one is also good. What should I do if I don't know how to write...?
