    Reader note

    One is a metaphysical novel with an entertainment industry theme. It's really good; I've finished it, and it's really good (I wanted to mention something else, but my memory is a bit scattered [facepalm]). Two and three are infinite flow novels by the same author. The third one is completed, and the second one is ongoing. They're really good, a little angsty, but overall sweet. Guaranteed to be good (I've finished the third one). This one is very good, not very long. I think many people know this line: "Do you know what the first step to embracing the whole world is?" "Embracing Shen Baoshan." It brought tears to my eyes. (I've finished it).
