Thedistance Between Us

This is a healing story about two-way redemption and gentle growth. A slow-paced, super long novel with two male protagonists and a fantasy novel with an alternate worldview. Amu, a cat-orc who is severely afraid of society, trapped himself in an airtight closed world. He worked diligently and conscientiously, but he could never get over the hurdle of speaking in public. Amidst the comments and self-denial of others, he huddled in a corner where no one cares about him, thinking that his life would eventually end in loneliness. Until the spring dusk, the sunny and cheerful descendant of the dog orc came out and broke into his life unexpectedly. This young man who always smiled was like a beam of light, gently prying open the closed door of his heart. But Deyu, who seems to be always full of energy, is also carrying the unknown weight of life behind his back, gritting his teeth and moving forward alone in the wind and rain. Two lonely souls met, cowardice and bravery collided, and loneliness was melted by warmth. He walked out of the closed hard shell for him, and he took off the hard armor because of him. In the tenderness of the fireworks in the market, in the company of the ups and downs of life, they became each other's light and rushed towards their own new life together. [The series is ongoing.
