    The younger brother wrote a book for his elder brother and other younger brothers to read, and ended up traveling into the book. The older brother and younger brothers each conquered the villains in the book. The plot was not cliché, and the emotional line was a little slow but just right. The older brother's emotional line was particularly interesting. As a powerful brother, his emotional line was very... Feeling. Although they were individually conquering the book, they still wrote a little plot in which the brothers could meet. Their plots are all in the same plane with a timeline. The writer's brother was the last one to be transported into the book. Highly recommend!!! [Adoration][Sending Hearts]
