I wish there was a part two of this. Just everyday life. This story was great, instantly in my top 3. Pity that the ending was so short… but the emotional impact was so worth it.
one of the best novels I've read on this app.
a story worth your time. Even if you hate system things like me, give it a try cuz the system is not the main focus of the story and the entire journey to the end is amazing.
