    Reader note

    Looking at the time, I've been following along every day. The beginning is a slow, deliberate setup, but it gets faster and faster later on. Fellow reader, please wait! This is a 20-year veteran bookworm who has read over 600 books and 3000+ hours on Tomato alone. I highly recommend this traditional fantasy transmigration novel. No system, no mindless plot twists. If you like it, follow along with me and urge for more updates!
