It's a bit interesting, written in a different world and watched in a different setting. Misalignment creates magic.
There are many techniques like this in Italian new literature
The intricate threads eventually merge into the protagonist's past and reality. I like this fantasy style very much.
Everything is heading irrevocably toward vulgarity.
Is this book good to read?
great

Wanshou Temple
I forgot a lot of things and had to remember them all later. I thought that if I forgot those things, I would no longer be vulgar, but then I pursued vulgarity again to remember the forgotten things.
