There are a lot of Sichuan dialects that I really can't understand without explanation, but it's quite distinctive when written like this. I've learned a lot, but I don't know if the accent is right. I've had saliva chicken, it tastes good
I usually don't have time to read it, so I just read three chapters. The story is well written. Now I'm reading the chapter about Brother Pao. There are too many jingles. Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination? I can't help but wait until the end to give a good review
The writing is good and the story is very novel.
It looks great. The protagonist's character is well described and the plot is wonderful. I read it in one go. It's great.
