#chengshuo likewise is 100% abnormal but in a cold. way

The author has something to say: I have a few words to say about the setting. At the beginning, when I was thinking about people, I seriously thought about personality issues. Extreme personalities may be more popular, but I don’t really want to write like this. The protagonists grew up peacefully and soundly in a town by the border, and their personalities are very ordinary. Because they are not very old, they have limited experience. I don’t think that people with this kind of growth background can suddenly kill and decisively dominate and be the cool and handsome type that don’t even take killing seriously… Possessing power does not mean possessing the state of mind to control the power. From the perspective of potential power value, the two of them are indeed powerful, but mentally they are not. I want to write the story of ordinary people slowly growing into heroes.

and this is exactly why Stray feels a bit different than the rest of Nian Zhong's novels. they start off so soft... they dont have the thorns and protections in place many of their other protagonists do from the start. Nemo and Oliver are painfully normal (even if the specifics for both of them are definitely abnormal)

its neat. I like them a lot
