Information & other.

Jianbukecui: a huge wall going around the world.

World: in reference to all land INSIDE the Jianbukecui.

Void: in reference to all land OUTSIDE the Jianbukecui.

Realms: different lands. Small countries, villages etc.

Planes: eastern/southern/northern/western area.

Yuzhou: the entire planet.

Now, Jianbukecui, realms and world will be hard to understand (without help) unless you read up to the chapter Pangzi is talking with his father. Think of one chunk of land surrounded by the Jianbukecui as earth. Realms as countries, planes as continents, and Yuzhou as the galaxy and the void as empty space (this is the help). And like in the galaxy, there are many stars you can't see, with the naked eye [foreshadowing].

Fyi, I DO know that there will be an unreasonably high atmospheric pressure and gravitational pull, but we can sweep that under the rug known as marve— I mean, 'realistic fiction'.

The synopsis is a prologue. I'll write a better one after Pangzi's backstory is fully completed.

Just so you know, the part about old people is a stereotype and probably did happen, but like... in the 19th century.

Abt the tags, one of the three characteristics there define one of the three mains of this novel. The romance is there because it's a personal preference, and slice of life, is because of realism and not 'oops, I bumped into this girl with toast in her mouth and kissed her! Now we're dating!' kinda slice of life. I mean the kind if slice of life where you get tricked, scammed and robbed. Real, is the slice I give thee.

Btw, I don't know what age 'parents strongly cautioned' means, since it is very general.

ie, it could mean anything. But what I (keyword: I) mean by 'parents strongly cautioned' is 14+

There will be swear words, but I've heard a 4 year old swear (as of recent). Just keep in mind:

piss = pee,

shit = poop,

bastard = illegitimate child,

whore = prostitute,

bitch = a female dog,

so... they aren't necessarily bad words.

Something to think about: a very emotionally unstable boy was constantly made fun of by two of his classmates. He made a fool of himself to be liked by those classmates, despite them calling names and etc. At some point, he felt that their behavior was 'bullying'. The boy told the teacher whom he trusted the most. The teacher asks: "what did they do to you?", to which the boy replies: "they called me names and made fun of me.". The teacher said it might have been a mistake. The boy thought twice about whether it really was bullying. The bully's family is not very prominent. Why did the boy feel he was being bullied? Why did the teacher brush it off so casually? Why did the boy feel like he was in the wrong?
