I especially like to read ancient Machiavellian writings. This book is definitely one of my favorites in 🍅. Next, I will praise the author. The author's writing is concise and ancient. Unlike other authors who write a lot of slang, and the words and sentences are very particular. I feel that the author read a lot of information to write this article. I think the writing style is definitely above average for 🍅. I think the best writing is the plot. The rhythm is very good. The plot line is not procrastinating and the emotional line is very complete. There is no plot point (I wanted to write a long review on the protagonist and plot, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm afraid it's not comprehensive enough. Then I saw that there are not many people reading it. Why is there no one reading this good book? So I wrote a review.) I will definitely add another review on the characters and plot after the author completes it! (`･ω･´)ゞ
