Summer Times Are Coming is a gentle, bittersweet story about friendship, first love, and the quiet heartbreak of growing up—about a summer that doesn’t end with goodbyes, but with the realization that time never waits, even for those who wish it would.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!"
