    "The Realm of Spiritual Pivot" tells the story of a group of young people with spiritual abilities who find a way to survive in Luoshu City. Some can bring shadow puppets to life, others have shadows that can run errands on their own. Their abilities aren't flashy; they're hidden in the everyday life of carpentry and blacksmith shops. The character interactions are comfortable, from mutual distrust to cohabitation. It's a story of a group of "outcasts" gradually finding warmth among their kind, growing stronger, and uncovering conspiracies. The spiritual pivot setting is fresh, and watching them establish themselves in an unfamiliar place through their own abilities is quite heartwarming.
