   Reader note

   The protagonist is clearly heartbroken but keeps using "madness" as an excuse... I highly recommend this top-tier, emotionally charged angst novel! It doesn't rely on sudden death to shock you, but rather uses the rules of the entire world to gradually extinguish all your hope. The reading experience is like watching a beautiful moth, knowing there's fire ahead, yet forced to fly towards it by instinct and commitment. Every member of the protagonist group struggles, but the end of that struggle may lead to an even deeper abyss. 'Suspicion and cunning' aren't the satisfying elements here; they're necessities for survival, and also accelerators of tragedy. Beneath the adventurous exterior lies a chilling cold. It truly amazed me that a new author could portray this sense of powerlessness and fatalism so vividly. Niche, slow-paced, but once you're hooked, you won't be able to escape; suitable for readers who enjoy being awestruck by 'depressing aesthetics'.
