    New author Tomato received no credits and had to submit his work himself. His crazy female protagonist is both intelligent and skilled in martial arts, with unconventional plot twists, imaginative and innovative scenarios, and is carefully designed and written. There's no romance; the focus is on female characters supporting each other, forming bonds, and finding redemption. Thank you for reading; I hope someone enjoys it.
