Although the writing style is AI-generated and the plot is a bit verbose, the story structure has a fresh twist on a familiar theme. Without martial arts, cultivation, or fantasy elements, and without frequent killings or enemy spies, it's a fairly enjoyable book.
Excellent! The content is superb; take a look when you have time to kill some time and alleviate boredom!
Add a chapter title. Your idea is quite novel, isn't it? Making Jia Zhangshi work is something else entirely.
