Literally the first thing I thought about in this post. Read them as a young adult and loved them. Not sure they would be as good in adulthood but curious.

They translate well into adulthood reading material

I read two of them as an adult and can confirm that they aren't good. They're surprisingly boring. The characters are forgettable, the plot is predictable, and there isn't enough fantasy/magic to make the world interesting.

You're not wrong about predictble plot, but i quite liked the world bulding, and the grounded quality of the asian fantasy thats pretty much a staple of that ilk.

Forgettable... also yes.

They were such good books, I wonder if they hold up at all.
