    This book is good to read, and you can finish reading it. It is a small group portrait that mainly revolves around the four protagonists. The NPCs also have their own characteristics. They are not the kind of brainless people. Don't stop reading just because of the title. It has nothing to do with idols. Read it with confidence. [Send your heart] Each copy has its own meaning, and the picture is particularly strong. "Has anyone ever said that your eyes are like a cat?" "We are your unburnable witches..." For whom the bell tolls. I even suspected that it was here to trick me into crying. It was very touching (the protagonist turned into a small animal in one copy, and the bald parrot made me laugh to death). It is also a bit funny. If you are interested, you can check it out.
