Synopsis

[Firefly as the sole heroine + Glamoth Iron Cavalry + Stellaron Hunters]

[Lighthearted, cheerful, and uplifting + mainly everyday life + original story]

[No System + not brainless + slow-paced]

When did it all begin? He wasn't sure.

But AR-26711 knew he was no longer merely a weapon. His purpose was no longer just to defeat the swarm sweeping across the universe, and his battered body no longer burned solely for destruction

Because AR-26710 had become a firefly illuminating the darkness.

Even if the Empire was nothing but a lie, and the Empress merely a tool controlled by others, as long as she was by his side, he had a reason to keep living.

So when they faced an enemy they could not defeat, he resolutely chose to give up everything, sacrifice everything, and leave only her alive.

Nothing else mattered anymore. Everything else could be abandoned...

Including... his own life...

“Dummy, what are you thinking about?”

“You.”

“You always say that.” Firefly angrily poked his cheek. “We're about to go on a mission, and you're still saying all this nonsense.”

“What could matter more than you? Not the mission.”

“Hmph! I give up on you.”

“Okay, okay. The mission should be easy, but...” A hint of seriousness entered his eyes. “Stay alert and be careful.”

“Mm, I know!”

He swept his arm up, flames danced, and armor instantly enveloped him. He looked at the nearly identical armor beside him and smiled silently.

If dawn could never come...

Then I would be the one to

Wow, you've set too many goals; I feel like I'm doomed hundreds of times over.

The author's writing is excellent, with many detailed descriptions. The plot is a mix of sweet and bittersweet moments, full of twists and turns, and quite different from most of the other novels on Tomato (which are mostly wish-fulfillment stories or harem stories with multiple female leads). I haven't seen many flaws so far. The only downside is the slow update speed. 😘🙂

The film adds a lot of detail to Grammery's battles and life, and the emotional development is also very natural, from only knowing how to fight to having only him/her in one's heart. Although there are a few minor cuts, it is still quite sweet.

Although it's a bit too much to read, the author's writing is excellent, and I'm looking forward to the next angst.

The long-awaited Glamorian cavalry... Ah, there aren't many people writing books about it, but you should keep it up! I will wait and wait. Don't worry, I will always wait for you.

The female protagonist, Ying, writes a very good and complete story about Grammer. Her sweet daily life begins after joining the Star Core Hunters. It's an original story independent of the main plot. The scene on the Ferris wheel at the amusement park was particularly memorable—absolutely amazing! The book is excellent, but I don't know why the rating isn't high and why not many people have read it.

It's a great book. The plot is mostly original, and the characters are very well-developed. I hope the author won't abandon this excellent work. The author's battle scenes were well-depicted; it would have been better if there were more. The later parts mostly became slice-of-life romance.
