   This book is simply divine! 😌😌😌 No romance, no system, the protagonist has very positive values, and the author's writing style is excellent. It's a military novel that even I, a girl, could enjoy reading. 😉😉😉 There are some flaws, but they're completely insignificant. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story; there are many heartwarming moments in daily life, and it's also innovative, making it less clichéd compared to other novels. What attracts me most is the protagonist's personality and values—I could write 3000 words about them! 😎😎😎 In short, it's a long-term investment, and you won't regret it. (Of course, not everyone will like it, but please respect each other and be patient. 😌😌😌)
