   I wanted to read a long novel, so I picked this one from the word count list, and it's really good! The main plot revolves around a high school couple solving mystical cases. I loved the storyline; many parts are interconnected.

   Part Two First: Superpower Classification Part 1: A very unique and adorable story! The male lead's love interest is the digestive system (yes, true to his name!) And he has a superpower level (CBAS, this kind of unorthodox level classification, does that count as a superpower story?). What attracts me most is the romance; they're such a cute couple! ^^ The author says the main story is almost finished, and I'm eagerly following it… Part Two: Completed! Hooray!

   A single-episode mystery. Set against a backdrop of supernatural tales with national/regional consequences. (Looking at this, the love story of two civil servants... Hmm...) The setting is complete and fitting (I love this kind of story TT, it has such a great atmosphere!). A love born from relentless pursuit. (Actually, they both love each other very much.)

   A supernatural fantasy BL (Boys' Love) set against the backdrop of a spiritual revival. The protagonist possesses exceptional intuition, becoming a master of Tarot cards almost instantly. A Chinese folk version of the Russian "Battle of the Spirits," this live stream features all the mystical individuals you could want: Tarot players, fortune tellers, face readers, shamans, ghost raisers… a terrifying blend of East and West (leaning back. Jpg). The Tarot card interpretation scenes were exhilarating (pulling out my long-forgotten Tarot cards from the drawer). This is a really good piece of metaphysical writing; I'm feeling a bit lost because I can't find anything similar... Part Two: The beginning was really good, I loved the battles in the beginning, but the ending was a bit too indulgent.
