   Reader note

   The first book, as the title suggests, is a Black Robe fanfiction. The main character and Azu are really great to ship; it's a nurturing relationship. The main character gives off a slightly robotic vibe, while Azu, as the synopsis says, is an obsessive and loyal dog—"You are my only emotional anchor." But I feel that Azu's feelings for the main character are mixed with many other things: dependence, admiration, protection, possession, love, affection, and fear (of loss). The plot simulation system is also a very novel concept. It allows the main character to add certain conditions to simulate a series of events. Currently, this system sometimes provides narration reminders, such as "[Warning: This model has a fragile balance structure and requires continuous emotional anchoring support.]". It also provides data on the probability of Azu turning evil and the degree of dependence. I really want to see how Azu interacts with the main character after he grows up; it would be so sweet! 😋 The second book I mainly followed was about Jin Feichen and Lao Yue. Both worlds are based on high martial arts with some superpowers (in my opinion). The protagonists are from Earth and travel to this world. Jin Feichen is the more lively one, while Lao Yue is more of a human-machine hybrid. I think their relationship is quite complex—he's a parent, a shield, a trump card, a partner, a friend, a collaborator, and an older man… The only thing that might bother me is that Lao Yue is over 70 years old, but he doesn't look old, and he's 190cm tall… The third book leans towards the cultivation genre, adding elements of a large family within a fantasy setting, and even a touch of the prehistoric era (?). In short, the world-building is incredibly vast, suggesting a long story. The relationship between Huang Di and Xiao Yue Liang (a nickname readers use for the protagonist) is also very compelling. While seemingly a younger brother/older brother dynamic, it's actually an older brother/older sister dynamic. Huang Di is the reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor, initially disdainful of his older brother but gradually becoming a brother-obsessed brother, fiercely protective of him, though somewhat arrogant. Xiao Yue Liang, on the other hand, is a genius from the start, but also undergoes a growth arc. On the surface, he's a calm and reliable older brother, but privately he's also a bit mischievous and affectionate with his younger brother. Overall, it's a very enjoyable read; brother and sister are a perfect match!
