    It starts as a female-oriented story, following the "Dragon King Returns" trope... The male characters are a bit of a jerk, but that's typical for female-oriented fiction, so it's a minor faux pas 😎 A strong, independent woman is all about promoting science and education for national rejuvenation!! So inspiring! ❤️
