    Say goodbye to book drought! This Western fantasy epic holds the thrill and magic you crave. If you're captivated by a world where swords and magic intertwine, and yearn to experience an epic adventure through words, then *Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight* will absolutely hit the spot for you—it's a sincere work of traditional Western fantasy epic novels. Open the pages and step into a fantastical world full of surprises and excitement. The world's setting is solid enough to captivate you at first glance. In the human kingdoms, smoke rises from the blacksmith's shop in Sunset Castle, power struggles lurk in the imperial palace of the Hermin Empire, and knights from different city-states have their own beliefs and battle robes; the forests inhabited by the elves are shrouded in magic, and falling leaves turn into shimmering points of light, while elders can communicate with ancient trees using the power of nature; dwarves forge weapons deep in the mountains, each piece infused with unique magical runes, and the sound of their hammering echoes in the caves like ancient songs; while orc tribes migrate across the wastelands, their battle banners adorned with beast soul totems fluttering in the wind, and their battle axes capable of cleaving through solid rock. The magic system is rich and logical, with each elemental magic having its own unique uses: fire magic can not only attack, but also provide warmth in the cold winter and heat up the forging process; water magic can heal wounds and irrigate farmland during droughts; wind magic can speed up travel and transmit messages from afar. Even the most mysterious forbidden spells are closely connected to ancient ruins and lost civilizations. There are no superhuman abilities that appear out of thin air; each type of magic is like the "natural law" of this world, real and believable. The protagonist Sen Helkin's growth is the most touching core of the entire book.

    The time-traveling protagonist, Lin Ce, uses "infinite shared bicycles" to drastically modify cold weapon warfare: he transforms bicycles into "heavy iron horses" to fight against the Xiongnu cavalry, adds gear transmission systems to achieve "volley fire of crossbow bolts," and even melts down bicycle frames to create "siege ballistae." The work blends "system building" with "cavalry tactics," such as the protagonist using "lumber mills" to cultivate fast-growing ironwood to forge long-handled swords and using "mills" to produce unlimited provisions to support expeditions. A unique feature is the "shared bicycle points system," which allows the protagonist to gain skill points by teaching soldiers to ride, unlocking passive abilities such as "cavalry raids" and "terrain adaptation," leading readers to jokingly call it a "cold weapon version of Civilization." The scene of "bicycle cavalry" charging the Xiongnu royal court has been turned into a "meme video" by netizens, garnering over ten million views.
