    I highly recommend this book. The author is a friend of mine, and the protagonist reflects aspects of the author himself; in fact, Zhang Meng in the book is me. The author is a very kind, albeit somewhat eccentric, young man suffering from severe depression, always brimming with strange ideas that surprise me. This urban fantasy story tells of a world frozen in time on the last day of the month, where the protagonist can still move. It's a story that unfolds layer by layer, getting better and better as you read on. It definitely won't waste your time and will provide a fantastic reading experience. It's mind-blowing, both funny and touching. Thank you for your support.
