    I absolutely love the friendship between the three main characters in *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles*! This novel truly deserves a five-star recommendation, especially since it leans towards family themes! For the past two months, I've been following the author's every step of the way! The writing is incredibly delicate. When I watched the drama, there was a line that said, "Those who enter Thunder City can soothe all regrets in their hearts." I truly felt that the author was creating another world, a parallel world, where everyone (A Ning, Pan Zi, and the others) leapt off the page. It genuinely soothed the regrets in my heart at the time. If you really love this, read the first part, "Everyone Panics," and then read the recently serialized "Becoming Stronger by Spitting Blood." You'll really discover how delicate the writing and the story's inclinations are!
