    The first book is very good. It's a dual-strong, transmigrated, doted-on novel with many brothers who are obsessed with their younger brothers. There's a side couple, but the main couple's romance develops very slowly. The protagonist is very naive and cute, the kind who doesn't understand things easily. I personally felt there was a little bit of angst, but the synopsis says it's sweet and doting. The second book has a really doting protagonist, and the other protagonist is a stubborn but possessive person. Although it's also being serialized, the romance story is already finished, and they're currently writing the extra chapters.

Each world feels like it could stand alone. The settings are novel, the logic is strong, and the writing is superb… You absolutely must keep writing, author!!! As for the romance… author… so many worlds made me cry, sob sob sob. To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy… the romance between 17 and Ji is like a candied lemon.
