    This was my first book in the ancient Chinese style, and I felt terrible for a week after finishing it. Every time I thought about the ending, I felt very sad. The sweetness at the beginning was just to highlight the angst later on. Enter at your own risk. The second book, a story about two men and one woman, was quite mind-bending. After finishing it, I don't know if they went crazy or not, but I definitely became mentally unstable. The third and fourth books were also quite heart-wrenching. The fifth book is angsty in the middle. I stayed up all night to finish the sixth book, and my eyes were swollen from crying. The seventh book, "Ten Worlds," features stories that begin sweetly but end in heartbreak. The eighth book is not finished yet; it's been over two months, but it's really heart-wrenching, sob sob sob.
