    I recommend this new book. I've already finished reading the serialized version, and here are my thoughts: The premise is very novel, subverting tropes and avoiding mindlessness. The characters are vivid, and the story becomes increasingly sophisticated as it progresses. It features a naturally developing teacher-student romance and a brotherhood that transcends social status, all portrayed with great detail, feeling like something that could happen to someone you know. In terms of scope, it probably revolves around "dreams and rebirth"—a seemingly simple yet extremely rare pursuit. The characters are well-developed, with no mere plot devices, and the growth arc of the villains is particularly impressive.
