The skills are very superb, comparing real life with the fantasy world of the little confused heroine, and strengthening the depression and despair a hundred times. There is one thing at the end that makes people feel shitty in an instant: the emperor delivered a speech on defeat, and the heroine cried, "We actually lost the battle? We have suffered for so long, but we lost the battle." On the one hand, the character's point of view does not equal the author's point of view. As an ordinary person who is monopolized by information, Ling believes that the empire will always win and believes in the co-prosperity of the Greater East Asia. It is normal and true that she cannot accept defeat. Her disillusionment and questioning can be understood as a mockery of the nothingness of war. But on the other hand, Ling is not so ordinary. She is an artist with a world inside her head. With such a character, it is normal for her to jump up a level and question the war itself. But in the end she asked why she lost the battle, which is worth pondering.
