   Only the first serial is serialized, and the others are finished. They are all unsystematic. If you are tired of reading the systematic ones, you can come and take a look. They are rich in content and have ups and downs in the plot, which will not make people feel bored. The most important thing is that these articles that travel back in time are difficult to write. Some readers will search online. If the author cannot be sure based on memory alone, he needs to go online to verify, which is very troublesome.
