   I absolutely love this book! I love it to the core! I didn't have high expectations when I first clicked on it because I'd been suffering from a reading slump for so long. Qin Yi's game creation abilities and the author's imagination are beyond my wildest dreams. Especially the promotional video for the game "Chronicles of Love"—I was already captivated by the descriptions alone. I have an unparalleled anticipation for Qin Yi to create game after game in this dimension. This is my first book review in all this time using Tomato (a Chinese review website), so it might not be the best I can say, but I truly, truly love this book and highly recommend it!
