"Sweet Survivor" is a fantasy novel about growth and self-discovery, woven together with sensibility and rationality.
The story takes place on the mysterious and sweet Moon Island. 16-Year-old Coco lives in a world where super sweets are the belief - "protection from the moon god". The people on Moon Island have enjoyed sweet gifts since ancient times, so they have a perfectly round body, that is, "possessing the fruit of happiness"...
Coco has been unable to enjoy the sweetness of Moon Island like other people due to his special physical condition (which was proven years later, perhaps due to the evolutionary influence of genes) since he was a baby. As a child, Coco often felt isolated and troubled. However, from meeting an elderly monk from afar as a child, to becoming Cher's lifelong friend and sister at the age of 16...
Coco, who has a strong talent for cooking, has embarked on a journey of growth that is different from the traditional Moon Islanders who are "just right fat"...
Concept: "Sweet Survivor" not only depicts Coco's personal growth process, but also reflects how a society forms the definition of "beauty" in a specific cultural background, and how individuals find their own place in this definition. This novel combines reality and fantasy. Through Coco's story, readers can feel the ups and downs of growing up and the power of pursuing self-identity.
