   If you're looking for a angst-filled novel, the kind that leaves you feeling empty and reeling for days, then this is for you! It's not the kind of gratuitous, industrial-grade angst, but rather a… slow, exquisite despair. You'll follow the main characters from their initial fervent belief, to their growing unease, and finally, the collapse of their faith. Most importantly, the author's writing is like an icicle; the more heartwarming the beautiful scenes, the more brutally they are shattered later. Every character in this ensemble will tug at your heartstrings; their tragedies aren't accidents, but the inevitable result of this cold, unforgiving world. The pacing is slow, but each stroke is like a slow, agonizing cut; the novel premise will both captivate and chill you to the bone. A hidden gem from a new author, a niche but definitely a top-tier angst novel!

    No one recommends this book? "Seeking Songs While Drinking" is a book you can read over and over again. The brilliance of "Seeking Songs" needs no further explanation! The humorous descriptions, no matter how many times you read them or which chapter you start rereading, will make you laugh out loud. The descriptions of humanity are moving from every angle. All the creatures in Cat Not Bald's writing have their own shining points; they shine because they are real and different. The early part of the book focuses on revenge, and some readers felt the protagonist was weak or violent, but everyone has their own Hamlet, and in my opinion, this is handled perfectly. The later part focuses on the game of gods, and every opponent, god, and demon is incredibly vivid. The author's imagination is boundless; the names of every skill are beyond my wildest imagination—some are epic, some are deeply moving, some are hilarious, and some are unforgettable.
