After Being Chosen by God

Ahem, hello everyone! Wow, I'm so excited because this is my first time writing a book review. My main motivation is that there's no chance of getting monthly tickets in July. This book seems relatively easy to get, so I thought I'd write a review. Um, I'm just a not-so-bright weakling, so please don't blame me for any mistakes. First of all, this book is really quite good. I just don't know why it has so few favorites. Maybe it's because the title is too short? Haha. Actually, after reading the first few chapters, my first thought was "Fate," which is similar to the Holy Grail War plot. However, the author's setting is...

I posted a book review before, but for some reason it didn't show up; it was probably swallowed. I didn't save it either, but I'll repost it to organize my thoughts. First, please note that I'm only expressing my personal opinion; I don't mean to say anything bad or suggest how to change it. My point is that if readers find certain parts tiring to read, then they're definitely correct. However, the accuracy rate of readers suggesting changes is probably less than 1%... So, as readers, I hope you can simply convey your thoughts to the author. I've currently read the first volume and half of the side stories. However, I feel the most outstanding part is...

In my memory, this book appeared very frequently when I was browsing through updates, which explains why the author was described by readers as a "human typewriter"—it's a bit humorous, but also quite apt. I can't remember when I first saw the cover of this book; I only know that although it often appeared before my eyes, I always inexplicably didn't want to click on it. Whether it was the cover that gave me a sense of resistance, or the title that was too ordinary, I don't know. But thankfully, today I mustered up the courage to click on this book, which appears ordinary on the outside but is actually quite brilliant in content. ...

I wouldn't give it a perfect 10. Because I think nothing in this world is perfect; in fact, it would be strange if something could be perfect. Nisio's *The Girl from Nowhere* isn't a perfect 10, and *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly* isn't a perfect 10 either. So I gave it a 9. The book could be called either *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly*, as the protagonist hasn't shown any particular bias yet, seemingly not quite there, still teetering on the edge of good and evil. It's true that some people have mentioned the author's writing skills aren't good, but that's not entirely true. *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly* doesn't have detailed character portrayals or descriptions, and there aren't many scenic views. It's basically just narration, narration, and more narration. But the difference between a novel and an essay is that the story...

To Kawamoto Mai: I first met you in an izakaya in Hokkaido. That night, the snow kept falling intermittently. The light was ambiguous, the music hazy. You, with your alluring eyes and deep red dress, leaned against the bar, a smile on your face. The blind swordsman finally sat down in front of you again. You waited expectantly for his change of heart, but your words were defiant, like you were facing an enemy. The bitter cigarette ignited your expectations. You pretended to be nonchalant, muttering curses, your gaze frequently drifting to the petite girl sitting beside him. Until your first love smiled and said goodbye, you stood there, stunned, watching the girl lead him out of the shop. The snow fell slowly, and you were alone, lost in thought...

Look at this comment section, it's like stagnant water!

Holy crap, the number of likes and comments I got from posting on Pineapple Circle is more than I've written for half a year! What the hell is this?!

This is one of my earliest long reviews of this book. It's full of memories, and I wonder if I'll ever have the time to reread it.

The story is finished!

After writing for so long, it's finally time to start the final volume. Although there's a lot I want to say, I find surprisingly little to write about. I hope all readers (if you have any) will leave comments and support me during this final stage.
