   4.6 Stars A rare romance novel set within a mythological historical context, this book offers a more three-dimensional and vivid portrayal of its main and supporting characters compared to "I Am a Tree." The rich ensemble cast expands and extends the space and time of the entire mythological world. The mysterious and prosperous primordial world gradually unfolds and takes shape through the encounters and partings of familiar and new characters. The main storyline of this installment is significantly improved compared to the previous one. The integration of the game, the character transformation, and the increasing complexity of her identity—many questions that arose in the early parts due to the female lead's overly domineering and authoritarian personality—are explained and clarified in the later background. Some aspects of the early work might have deterred some readers (like me), but by the end, the author's well-consistent logic was quite convincing. However, I'm a complete novice when it comes to mythology, but at least I was convinced, haha. Finally, it's definitely worth reading.
