   No need to say more [laughs] New version: Authors have creative freedom, and readers have the freedom to rate. For an author to side with another author criticizing INJ during a sensitive period is like turning on their benefactor. The success of a book is built on the mutual support of authors and readers; selling the copyright means ignoring the readers' plight. Is it too lenient to give low ratings to nearly half of the full-subscription readers?

   The plot is original and the writing is fluent. However, around chapter 180, the plot went beyond my comprehension, so I'll put it aside for now.
