    Gosh, I really thought this book was beautiful. I think whether a book is good or not is inseparable from the characters and plot, and what impressed me about this book is that the author made every character in the book very "human"; they are not only facial characters, but also very distinctive characters, neither good nor bad. So much so that when I read the novel, I felt that the development of the story was actually an extension of the self-driven development of the characters; it made me feel that this was a novel in which the characters held up the story. Let's talk about the role of the heroine. I like her very much: she doesn't cause internal friction, she just criticizes her when she doesn't like her, she is intelligent and capable, she is courageous and charming. I admire her very much and it is worth learning from all girls. Don't be afraid or timid when things happen! The overall length tends to be daily, with a sense of life in a small way.
