    It's a bit slow-burning, and the subject matter is niche; it's not exactly mindless action. It's been a long road trip, with explosive and exhilarating plot developments later on, but nobody really gets there. This book is a jack-of-all-trades, tackling everything from heartwarming slice-of-life moments and lighthearted comedy to dark suspense and action-packed thrills. It's a cross-genre work, with no female lead, just the story of someone who lost everything and is resurrected in another person's body to face the world anew.
