Built on the real world, with a touch of fantastical imagination.
The setting is a partially fictionalized world. The story is entirely made up, with no veiled references or thinly disguised criticism.
Inspired by a classmate’s failed romance, the plot pays abstract tribute to real life.
A basic knowledge of science fiction is needed to fully understand the novel, but not having that background should not affect your enjoyment of it.
One lesson is enough. Wishing you all the best in love, and may you never suffer another setback.
