   Personally, I think this is a novel that becomes less mainstream later on but has a captivating beginning. The male lead doesn't have a harem and is very distinctive. Both the main and supporting characters have their own personalities, the writing is vivid, and the plot is intricately woven. The dialogue is lively, and the story aligns perfectly with my personal imagination. It's my favorite supernatural novel to date, and fellow readers should definitely check it out. ∗︎˚(* ˃̤൬˂̤ *)˚∗︎ "It's just quite long; I've been reading it since last summer and into this summer (◔◡◔)"
