Just like my friends, everyone has their own unique story. I particularly like those strange-looking monsters, which remind me of the folklore I heard when I was a child. This book is not only suitable for people who are interested in traditional culture, but can also bring inspiration to people in the creative industry. I plan to recommend it to my relatives and friends and share this fantasy world together.
