    A lifesaver in a reading slump! The author's writing is superb, skillfully building tension through calm narration. The pace is slow and meticulous! I've unearthed a top-tier, intellectually stimulating ensemble adventure novel! The protagonist receives a "noble" mission right from the start, assembling a team of uniquely skilled companions. But the further I read, the more goosebumps I got—this is far from a simple, action-packed adventure! Every member of the main group, especially the protagonist, is incredibly intelligent, each move like playing an unseen game of chess. You might think they're fighting side-by-side, but in reality, each is examining the world and each other in their own way. The plot unfolds layer by layer, with twists and turns all within logic, yet the emotional impact is unexpected. The aftertaste is incredibly powerful, leaving me thinking, "So that's what he meant by that..." If you enjoy reading about intelligent people pursuing their goals and engaging in psychological warfare, and can handle a bit of heartbreak, this is a must-read!
