    A slice-of-life story set in the city, depicting everyday life in a gentle, flowing manner. The female protagonist's character might be a bit niche, as few people pay attention to the devastation a patriarchal family can inflict on a girl. Unable to cope, the protagonist bravely escapes, giving herself a chance at rebirth. The character development is clear: the protagonist initially suffers from low self-esteem, timidity, and a severe sense of inadequacy, but later transforms into a capable, spirited, and radiant young woman. Throughout her journey, she is quietly protected by the kindness of the lower classes, creating a beautiful story. The protagonist also gains friendship, love, and family affection. Reading this book feels like accompanying the protagonist through her entire youth; the immersion is strong, and it's definitely worth reading.
