    Reader note

    First, a vivid imagination; second, humor; third, exaggeration; fourth, relaxation. Writing style is fine, but most importantly, it must be plausible and not mindless. I'm a seasoned bookworm with thousands of hours of reading experience, and I have four reading apps on my phone. If you have any good novels to recommend, please DM me. While searching for books, I also have to criticize some authors—it hurts! It hurts so much!! Thanks!
