    The first two books are still being serialized, but they're very good. "The Confused Magistrate" is really well-written; the author is very knowledgeable and has a delicate writing style. "The Evil Female Bound to a Good System" is truly a good read. "Catching the Adulterer" isn't long; I finished it quickly, and it's great!!
