    The first one is very interesting, but the plot is very different, and it's the kind that makes people's eyes light up. The male protagonist can read minds, but the female protagonist can wear books. It's a very interesting novel. Then the second one is yandere. The final ending of this novel is "be". Sisters who don't like reading "be" should be careful! But it's very interesting. The male protagonist is a hostage and the female protagonist is an enemy princess. The writing is good and the plot is interesting [like]
