   The second book was good, but the protagonist seemed overwhelmed. It felt like she carried the entire burden, even though she had an adult soul, her body was only that of a five-year-old. The other adults seemed too weak, especially the uncle who, in the city, abandoned his family (a 54-year-old, two young girls—the five-year-old protagonist herself (who was already suffering from a concussion and unconscious after saving them), his nephew (less than three months old), his pregnant niece-in-law, his 16-year-old niece, and the 14-year-old adopted son) to save a woman from being abused by Japanese soldiers. His brothers, to complete their revolutionary mission, sent her to a Japanese camp to be used as a toy by a colonel's daughter, whipped, and ultimately suffered fractures and a concussion.

    Reader note

    The story begins in the Republican era, with the female protagonist arriving in the 1940s, roughly after she's middle-aged. Initially, the female protagonist is incredibly pretentious and naive (or rather, foolish). She's as soft as cotton, and I really dislike this kind of behavior from a protagonist in a war-torn era. She's constantly whining and panting, barely breathing, and never exercises despite indulging in food, drink, and entertainment. It's infuriating to watch. I was curious to see how this lucky female protagonist, living on her "lucky charm" aura, would become an assassin (and perhaps because the author's writing is decent). Would she be firing a gun while crying and weak-kneed? [Smile] Up to now (I can't quite remember the infuriating parts from earlier, but after so much time, I'm more at peace ✔), the overall plot is fairly reasonable, with no major problems (though there are some minor bugs, like the body-strengthening technique the female protagonist obtained from the mall?). She's incredibly agile without any training, secretly infiltrating and thriving. Based on the storyline alone, it's still worth looking forward to. The author also touches on the female protagonist's emotional journey; looking back, perhaps the author intended to lay the groundwork, but perhaps too much of it was? The result is infuriating?

    These are among the best in my bookshelf, all four featuring a space-time ability, all with a female protagonist, and currently without a romantic pairing. I haven't seen any signs of that yet. Books ① and ④ are currently in their infancy, while book ③ is about becoming a mother without pain, with the protagonist in her early twenties and three children (two boys and one girl). Book 1: Slightly fantasy, the protagonist has a spatial ability that her family knows about, there's some secret feeding, and the female lead's background is quite complicated. Book 2: The female lead is seventeen or eighteen, a high school graduate, working at a supply and marketing cooperative. Oh, there's a gay couple in it, I don't know who's on top, the description is inaccurate, about two or three chapters, so please don't read if you're sensitive to this. Book 3: It's about a campervan space, divorced with a child, a letter of severance from the man, finding a job later, leading her whole family out, a very touching story of unity and determination. Book 4: The female lead and the original owner swapped bodies, the original owner's parents weren't dead, they were on a mission, later dreaming about their daughter's current situation, so she worked even harder. The little boy is the village bully, the village's darling, organizing the village children to learn calligraphy and arithmetic. Oh, there's a reporting/assisting plot to catch spies in the early stages. If it becomes a strong female lead story with no romantic pairing, and doesn't fall apart, this will be my top historical fiction! These are all ongoing series, I don't know the specifics, that's all [smile][smile][eating melon].
