Lexington's Happy Island

In this light, "The Men's Kapisi" seems more like an otherworldly fairy tale, while "Totole" seems more like a microcosm of contemporary reality.

Is there a book club? Year after year I've been reading Bubble's books, but I can only watch them like a spy. When I see something funny, I can only laugh to myself. It's so lonely.

What is this book about? Is it good?

To be honest, I've read all of Bubble's books, and they all basically have the same characteristic: there are parts of them that are extremely off-putting. Some books have overly complex world-building at the beginning, but this one is alright. And some of them are just for show to increase realism? In short, they will inexplicably cause setbacks for the main characters. The key point is that this setback really has nothing to do with the plot, it doesn't serve any purpose in advancing the story, it's just a pointless loss that makes everyone a little unhappy. For example, the part in this book where the pirates robbed the ship and gave away a free Liberty ship... It felt really frustrating to watch. They were taken advantage of for no reason and there was no reaction. And it felt like that one scene completely ruined all the fun in the beginning. I could accept it if you planted a time bomb, ran away, and then sank the ship...

This empire is pure trash talk! I've watched half of it, and they've lost every major naval battle!
