   🔥A chronological story, there is no system, no cheats, and the protagonist is not reborn through time travel!!! 🔥Personally, I don't think it's bad. I like it very much. Erya shines through learning step by step! The heroine has a good mind and works hard! 🔥Some people say that the heroine's parents are a bit PUA, but this is normal for the 1970s. It can even be said that her parents were liberal-minded for that era! If you are interested, you can take a look~ I am a ten-year old bookworm! I'm done reading it! No skipping chapters!

   It's plain and pretty. I have read about the male protagonist who "eats for money", but this is the first time I have seen the male protagonist who performs Yangko dance. Both parents have old ideas, but they are not extreme, they are quite ordinary. Not to mention the old concepts at that time, even now there are many things like favoring boys over girls and partiality. I can't say it's true, but both parents are considered normal people, not the best. The male protagonist and the female protagonist get along harmoniously and amusingly. Full text An ordinary day. What I like the most is that the male and female protagonists do not favor boys over girls, but they also do not favor girls over boys. It is good to treat them equally. (I hate the preference for boys over girls, but the preference for girls over boys in the novel is also disliked. It's all partiality, that is, the genders are flipped. Why should we treat our children differently if they are not the same)
