The only downside is his slow growth rate. In one previous life, his chosen friend had already become a Saint King before he even achieved Nirvana, and he was ultimately killed by another chosen one.

It's a coming-of-age story, covering the male and female leads' first year of high school until the end of their second year, with an epilogue depicting their graduation at 18. It's incredibly captivating. The female lead has a childhood friend, and initially, she can't let go of him, but the male lead is always there for her. The book's premise is also a bit unusual; the male lead's grades are lower than the female lead's, and most of the characters choose humanities (because they entered high school in 2016). Throughout the book, you can see reflections of their friends in the actions of the male and female leads, making it a truly irresistible ensemble piece.
