One of the most underrated novels I've ever read. How should I say this—I'll be a little biased towards this one because it's one of the few novels I read before 2020 (the corona era). I was in school with board exams coming up the next year, so I didn't get enough time to watch anime. The internet was crappy and I remember my phone's battery didn't even last 1 hour of YouTube. So what to do? And then came novels. This is one of the best novels I've ever read—the writing is good, the plot is good and believable, the world-building is fantastic (chef's kiss). Its prequel "MEMORIZE" was similarly excellent. I think I understand why it's not as famous as LOTM or RI, but seriously, it's that level good. I remember missing two trains because I was so engrossed in reading this. One of the most memorable novels in my life. The manhua got cancelled by the way, but if I ever get a chance, I want this novel to get an anime or webtoon—the author deserves it. Basically, read it. If you're looking for something good and the genres fall under your choice, don't hesitate—go for it!
