   This is for those who enjoy stories featuring strong, tragic, and seemingly tragic characters, those who enjoy imaginative storytelling, those who are beloved by their group, and those who suffer significant battle damage. Don't be fooled by the few chapters; it's practically finished. Putting everything else aside, the later scenes of burning books and suffering battle damage were incredibly satisfying! Especially since everyone witnessed Bai Laoshi's sacrifices—not just silent acts—it was so kind of him! This sickly, battle-damaged teacher is just so enjoyable! Yes, yes, let's imagine our Bai Laoshi's many sacrifices and feel sorry for him, hehehe! After his first public display of strength, Bai Laoshi instantly became the group's darling, hahaha. Bai Laoshi's character design is also very interesting; his true form is a book, but he has a humanoid clone. He's flawed—he's mute—but he can speak when he opens the book, and he can't stray more than a meter from it, or he'll enter a state of suspended animation. His skills are all ink-like, super cool! The plot pace is relatively fast, and the characters are quite vividly portrayed. To be honest, the blond guy in the main group's initial attitude towards Teacher Bai was rather disrespectful. I know he's a rich, arrogant, and spoiled rich kid, but being arrogant to an extreme is just rude. However, his opinion of Teacher Bai changed quickly, and his attitude shifted just as fast. Just bear with it; after the main character intervened once, he became very attentive to Teacher Bai. Also, the logic in this story isn't great, but the battle damage is just too satisfying. For example, some characters shouldn't know about the main character's battle injuries, but later, without being told, they seem to know the cause and effect. However, I don't think it's a big deal, because I love seeing everyone present and witnessing the main character's injuries; it's really satisfying.
