Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English. Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts The following section, basically a gallery of editions around the world with different book cover art, is largely inspired by treatments of fellow blogger Amethyst, who unfortunately hasn't done those types of blog posts for a while. Please DO NOT mistaken the following to be all existing editions; I'm only including completed sets with matching designs. All clickable images are linked to respective editions on GR; people, shelving correct editions ain't that hard. Highly recommend accurate shelving. =D

點上方連結至GR版本頁面可能會看到不同的封面（至少網誌更新的當下是這樣），推斷是因為GR還正在白目中xP 電子版正確的封面確實應該是我上面附的這個版本，但是自2019年開始，網站上由Amazon import進來的資料，常常會把紙本跟電子版弄成同一頁，可能是這樣才出了狀況（但也不一定是因為這樣就是了）（前面的敘述還是真的，但看起來真的不是那個原因，單純就是出包😅）。不是很有趣的封面，但至少不一樣嗯。我最後一次看的時候，連出版社公布的紙本第五集也是搭這版封面，如果之後有改成與其餘風格一致的，就會再更新加上來囉～（不確定是哪個時間點換的，但至少現在（2026）出版社的有換了～就放上來了，如下方）

第五集點上方連結至GR版本頁面可能會看到不同的封面（至少網誌更新的當下是這樣），推斷是因為連Amazon上的頁面都是錯的，import進來自然不會對了。雖然我蠻確定出版社公布的封面其實錯很久，但出版日期敢那樣寫，我就當是讓我等了快兩年才更新成正確資料啦！就不等GR了，圖源是用Booknode的（不知道那是什麼的可參考Social Networking Platforms for Books^{[Discussions]}）。


русский | Russian | 俄文


我等不到GR館員幫忙修正了～也不等GR頁面了！點進去東西不完整的話，不是我沒送出請求，是沒人有興趣幫忙編輯，只能說我已經盡力囉～我覺得這版本封面可以說超嚇死人的中肯，個人覺得最不貼近的甚至是第一集😂覺得看起來太沈穩了😝其他的都跟我想像中差不多那樣。封面由俄裔繪師Elena Rudman^{[繪師Instagram][繪師Bēhance]}繪製。
