You have received Max-leveled Hunting Skill!] [Ding! You have received Max-leveled Building Skill!] [Ding!

That eight-year-old boy is living a much more interesting life than us!” “Yu Beier is the apex among men!” "Whenever I see his stream, it feels like I've just lived an extra life!"

Edith Wharton was known for her meticulous plotting when telling a short story. She would often start with a clear concept or a particular social situation. For example, she might observe the upper - class society she was part of and find an interesting aspect like the constraints on women in marriage. Then, she would build her characters around this situation. Her characters were well - rounded, with their own desires, flaws, and moral compasses. She used vivid descriptions to bring the settings to life, whether it was a grand mansion or a small parlor in New York. Through her characters' dialogues and actions, she would unfold the story's conflict and lead it to a resolution that often had a touch of irony or a moral lesson.
