This book is an exceptional read. Despite the typical uncertainties surrounding the writing and plot, this particular work stands out, alongside titles like MXTX's Thousand Autumns, for its extraordinary prose and translation. The protagonist exhibits remarkable intelligence, making it particularly appealing to those, like myself, who prefer well-thought-out characters over overly simplistic ones. The focus on tactics, warfare, and intrigue, as well as the romance, adds depth to the narrative.
The story begins during the protagonist's childhood and swiftly shifts to adulthood after a traumatic event. The younger character, ML, who is around five years younger, retains a sense of innocence and naivety, falling head over heels in love. It evokes the image of a teenager eager for love but oblivious to the complexities of relationships.
As the story unfolds, the protagonist is consumed by their quest for revenge, which leaves them uninterested in romantic pursuits. So far, the tale has been captivating, filled with emotional depth and the potential for dramatic misunderstandings.
Given my current emotional state, I am choosing to stop here, as I seek only positive narratives that avoid excessive conflict stemming from miscommunication, which can sometimes provide temporary satisfaction but may not align with my preferences at this time. I'll revisit this book when the urge arises or my curiosity gets the better of me.
