   20 Is the limit for tomatoes, not my limit. These are simply divine works of art. The plot is smooth and the writing is delicious. Falling in love with them is my life. Postscript: The twentieth book's character development and plot become a bit off later on. Protagonist-centric readers should avoid this. If you want something sweet, please avoid this. Currently, I know of two bad endings. (Personal opinion, please don't scold me. My parents are alive.)
