This book is so funny and the jokes in it are really hilarious! I especially like the satire of the world and human nature in the book. The behavior of those greedy and stupid people makes people angry and funny. However, I also have characters that I hate, people who are mean and sarcastic. Fortunately, the language of this book is very humorous and easy to read. It feels like chatting with friends. I recommend it to you!
I bought this physical book. The ancient jokes are not the same as those of modern people, but they are still pretty good [laughs awkwardly]
