The first one is a bit sadistic. Needless to say, the second book is about sadistic female characters. Who can see Sister Su without passing her a cigarette? The third volume is very similar to the Suzu style. I forgot about the fourth one. Anyway, I remember it was a sadistic novel about a female protagonist, which was pretty good to read. The fifth one was cautious, both physically and mentally abusive. Really, if you can't stand it, just don't read it. . .

The first book is a torture novel. The first knife has been released so far, and the second knife is probably not far away. Overall, I personally feel that I will become the next 26-year-old female tenant. The emotional descriptions are very delicate, and they are all in the first person. I highly recommend it! The second one is also an emotional novel, and currently it is also developed in the form of a sadistic novel.
