   I've been following "The King of Feng Shui" since last year. It's an ensemble piece, with each character having a distinct personality and unique adventure. Despite its length, there's absolutely no filler text. I've followed it without ever considering giving up. I highly recommend the second book; it's also very good. The plot is quite realistic. If you're looking for a short story to relax with, this one is excellent. It doesn't overhype the main character, and the plot is very logical.

    - Synopsis: The protagonist was favored by his parents from a young age, left in the countryside, and even after being brought to live with them, he suffered mistreatment because of his younger brother. He was sent to a boarding school and subjected to inhumane "education," ultimately dying tragically. - Main Plot: The parents' favoritism towards the younger brother and their misunderstandings and accusations against the protagonist permeate the entire story. For example, when the protagonist was sick, his parents didn't pick him up on time, but then stood him up because his brother wanted to see snow. Even after his death, his parents continued to complain about his lack of understanding. - Features: Narrated in the first person, the story allows readers to empathize with the protagonist's grievances and pain, and provides a profound critique of the parents' favoritism. (The following is a separate, unrelated paragraph): The mother favored her niece, condoning over ten years of abuse inflicted on "me," causing immense physical and psychological trauma. The mother only felt deep regret when she realized she might lose "me."
