   I recommend this new book. I have read the serialized version, and I would like to share my opinion: the setting is novel, anti-routine, not brainless, the characters are vivid, and they become more advanced as the book goes on. There is a natural teacher-student love, and a brotherhood that transcends status. The portrayal is very delicate, as if it is happening around you. To talk about the pattern, I am afraid it is "dream and rebirth", this seemingly simple but extremely rare pursuit. The character creation is very good, there are no tool people, especially the growth line of the villain is very amazing.
