    Book 1: In those days, university was tuition-free, and students even received a monthly allowance. Why does this book state that university tuition was required? Book 2: The plot is excellent, the pacing is great, and so far it's been very good. It's sure to grab the attention of even a seasoned novel reader and is definitely worth reading. Book 3: Good. Although the first few dozen chapters were frustrating to read, and the male lead's true nature wasn't revealed until much later (and he wasn't the kind of male lead I wanted), it was still good.
