What's even more outrageous is that the women around him all love and hate him, locking him tightly: "I hate you, but I love you more" and "You can never leave me." He ran away, they chased him, but he couldn't fly. Is it really impossible to escape this life of "eating soft food"?

   I recommend this new book. I have read the serialized version, and I would like to share my opinion: the setting is very novel, counter-conventional, not brainless, the characters are vivid, and they become more advanced as the book goes on. There is a natural teacher-student love, and a brotherhood that transcends status. The portrayal is very delicate, as if it is happening around you. To talk about the pattern, I am afraid it is "dream and rebirth", this seemingly simple but extremely rare pursuit. The character creation is very good, there are no tool people, especially the growth line of the villain is very amazing
