   Reader note

   The first book is a little angsty because the protagonist has mental issues and a secondary personality, but he suffers some trauma and harm. Overall, it's a sweet, family-oriented book with a good relationship between the main characters. There's an occasional bit of mischief involved. 😳😳🥺 The second book is okay, mainly focused on family. The third book starts off quite sad; Snake is inexplicably stolen by Black Bear and his friends. 😢 Then the characters appear in their dreams, but Black Bear and his friends don't take it seriously. Overall, it's still family-oriented, and the ending sees them all helping Snake return home. The fourth book is very sweet at the beginning, but there's a tiny bit of a romantic subplot when Zhai Zhai is kidnapped by cat traffickers. I really like it, so I included it because in the early stages, the characters are indeed treated like family (or even royalty). 🥺🥺🥺
