I think the title explains enough, so I'll use the synopsis to give a warning. This novel has no grand pretensions, I just write for fun in the little time I have available. My English is so bad that I let the translator do all the work, so mistakes will appear frequently. Even though I'm posting this here, remember that I write for fun, don't expect me to change anything because of pressure from readers. As a advice, I'm warning you that I intend to explore sexual themes in the future, so I don't recommend that children read this. And if you read it and don't like it, just put this novel aside, there are thousands of better novels to read, don't waste your time typing furiously, after all I barely have time to write, I'm not going to waste it responding to insults and prejudices.
