As a senior Naruto fan, Classmate Zhao Er downloaded a supposedly latest and highly anticipated Naruto mobile game from a website. When he finished downloading, a strong light flashed. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had transformed into Conan Edogawa, the unfortunate child of Konoha. With this ominous name, how can he survive in the chaotic ninja world? I don't know how to describe this feeling. The urban novel I had high hopes for, which I wrote over 30,000 words for, hardly had any readers. I guess at least ten collections were probably done by my friends. I casually wrote a fanfic based on my hobby, and with just 10,000 words, it already has over 30 collections. I'm truly touched. Originally, I was thinking of giving up on writing novels, but for now, I will at least finish this book. I'm not expecting recommendations or collections, but after you finish reading it, please leave me a comment. It will make me feel less lonely during the writing process.
