They express human affairs with a mysterious and magical color, and use imagination and defamiliarization techniques to make the novel novel and unique, while at the same time not lacking in touching truth and power. We can read about spiritual communication and mutual seeing across time and space, where there are girls with wings, common people coming out of letters, undead fighting with soldiers, talking trees, soldiers "sealed in bullets", etc. These imaginations with magical elements and a sense of "weird power and chaos" are relatively rare in our previous military literature, but the author has easily, freely and appropriately incorporated it into the novel, which seems to have fewer difficulties than previous writing. However, at the spiritual level, this book is written for justice and conscience, dignity and responsibility, for the beauty and love, happiness and pain in our lives...
