    Aside from "My Wife is a Little Spicy," which I read as a child, these two books I'm currently reading are the only ones I can finish that are interesting. Personally, I don't like characters with rough, cold-faced personalities. I think if you can't write about romance well, don't write about it; if you can't write about the protagonist well, don't fabricate a plot hole just to reach a word count. For example, the third book is terrible, but the second one has a logical premise, an interesting setting, and a delicate mother-daughter relationship. It's currently over 300 chapters and I'm still following it. If any fellow readers have recommendations for interesting, logically sound, and well-written novels, please let me know. I've been skipping work lately and have a lot of free time.
