Suddenly in the Mood for Urban and Campus Stories, Without a System
Lately, novels with a System just aren't doing it for me.
Are High School Romance Novels No Longer Popular?
These days, urban and campus novels all give the protagonist some kind of System. His ex cheats on him, then a gorgeous woman pursues him, and after plenty of face-slapping, he ends up ruling the world and building a harem. Do simple coming-of-age campus stories with one female lead and no System just have no market anymore?

I haven't finished reading it yet, I originally wanted to review it after reading it. Suddenly I discovered that Cheng Xi looked a bit like me when I was a sophomore in high school. We sat by the window in the second-to-last row, always alone, and had many similar personalities. The author's writing style is very delicate, both in terms of plot and description. The style of this book is like a Japanese light novel, which brought back my memory of reading light novels on another platform. I also looked for them on Tomato at some time later. As for why I like light novels, maybe my youth was too plain. Plots such as campus youth can always bring different thrills and feelings. I have a lot to say, and I have also had the idea of writing a novel, but I don't know when I can start. This book was written accidentally, but I really liked it. After reading it, the book is not long, and the characters in the novel have no ending. Cheng Xi's efforts have allowed the story between them to continue. The ending in my eyes is naturally for several people to go on together. There is friendship and ignorant love between Cheng Fangliu, and more importantly, they rely on each other's support. I believe that many years later, they will be grateful that they were not separated from their closest people in high school. As for me like Cheng Xi in reality, naturally there is no light novel, no so-called childhood sweethearts, no ups and downs with so many people. This is the youth of an ordinary high school student, undeniably ordinary. He is just an emotional and sentimental guy, so he can only experience the experience of the male protagonist in the novel, haha. Plain and ordinary, I am just a majority of people. Like most people, I cannot express my youth vividly. Maybe this is how a group of people can come together under the novel. Look, don't compare with the male protagonist of the novel. Our youth is unique after all. Everyone, read more and write about the youth you want to tell.
The style of the book is indeed biased toward Japanese novels. However, this book is indeed worth my time to read. The emotions in it are delicate and complex, which gave me a real feeling. The novel originates from life but is higher than life. The author does this well. As for the ending, many people are dissatisfied, and I feel a little uncomfortable, but I think this is good, because with the college entrance examination a year later as an end and a new beginning, the unknown future will arouse infinite reverie and thinking. If there is a physical copy of this book, I will collect it. It has depth and youthful vitality.
Why isn't anyone watching? Definitely one of Tomato's best Japanese novels. The character of the male protagonist is very distinct, and he is not the kind of male protagonist whose character follows the plot. Moreover, it is written in a very youthful way. In daily life, the male protagonist changes, a bit like Chunwu.
It's good to watch, but I'm a bit disappointed, and I didn't see the final ending. . It's such a shame, just like it was with me Maybe this is an open ending? Of course, it's also possible that I was too stupid to understand the ending (if possible, I hope someone can tell me) Secondly, the book is very beautiful and I really like the author's writing style. It is a treasure in my heart. (Maybe if you look at it again after a while, you will have different feelings) The above is spoken from the bottom of my heart. June 33, 2023 in Guangzhou
The life of ordinary people is actually ordinary. Without a harem, there will be no good results. But the people we meet and the things we encounter on the journey of life are all part of our lives. Fifty years in the human world is a long time compared to heaven and earth. It is like a dream and an illusion. There is life and death. How can there be immortality among those who are alive once?
I sincerely recommend it. Both Fang Sheng and Liu Min are very good. I always feel that no matter who I choose, I may leave regrets, but I personally prefer Liu Min, because from the plot point of view, it can be seen that Liu Min's appearance is inserted into Cheng Xi's life. In the series that happened, Cheng Xi discovered that Qiu Shengyi was the same as himself, and then Later, by changing Qiu Shengyi's thoughts and opening up her inner thoughts, she reconciled with Xiao Mu and the others. In the end, it was Cheng Xi who took the initiative to go back to his hometown to see Grandpa Qiu. As the article said, "Some things can be done later. Some things must be done now." It can be seen that perhaps Cheng Xi chose Liu Min from Fang Sheng and Liu Min. (Only personal opinion)
Good intentions are hard to deny! Very exciting! Maybe I feel the same way, but I broke up with a very close female friend in my freshman year of high school. We've only known each other for a little over a semester, and there were online classes in between, and we've always been roommates. To be honest, the relationship developed very quickly, almost unrealistically fast. Because I was separated from her in the same class, and my physics scores dropped sharply, I couldn't understand the new teacher's lectures at all, which was very frustrating. She cares about me, and because others misunderstood our relationship, although we had it before, we both denied it, and I knew it myself. Waterloo made him lose his mind. He is still a straight man and has low emotional intelligence. So I thought I liked her, but I only discovered it now when the time came. It went horribly wrong and ruined our friendship. In the end, the relationship remained fragile for a while, and even though I had reacted, it didn't help. A broken mirror cannot be reunited. Okay, it's over with the flowers [laughs]ノ🌸
We still don't know what kind of determination Cheng Xi had that day to interfere in Fang Sheng's future and convince Fang Sheng's parents to let her stay. What about Fang Sheng? Did she hesitate about the impact of not going abroad on her future? Maybe I hesitated, but why did I stay in the end. You have always been a part of my memory from childhood to adulthood, and it makes people believe that this memory can last forever. But, that year, you ran away like a lost dog. Then, the broken year left me at a loss, and the common melody was also disrupted. The break in the memories that have remained unchanged since I was a child also allows me to stop and see different scenery and people. But fortunately, I can renew our relationship and be your neighbor. That unclear feeling may be the reason for making up his mind. We don't know what kind of mentality Liu Min had in persuading Cheng Xi to go back for the appointment. Maybe I selfishly hoped that he would stay instead of going back to keep the appointment, but why did I make up my mind to let him go back? Is it the gentleman's promise to keep the appointment that is hard to keep, or... The familiar feelings between him and her, the skilled dialogue, the way of getting along with each other that is different from myself... Maybe I regret why I insisted on something so stubbornly, maybe I regret why I always put on a smile. Bury something beneath that smile. Perhaps, I also regretted why we didn't get to know each other earlier. You have done so much for me, but I have done so little for you... So, can I help you this time and do something for you that will not make things so regretful... But... Will this not-so-regrettable thing make me pray like a fool one day in the future and give me another chance to rewrite the story... "Hey, let's graduate together." Nonsense, not nonsense. Looking into the illusory future without authorization, I am indeed as stupid as you have always complained... Time will not stand still and there will be no end, so. Today, there is nothing better than being next to you. Is it necessary to express the unspoken feelings, the feelings that everyone knows well... After speaking out, can the past feelings and memories still be maintained and continued? Can the relationship between the three be maintained? We don't know, and neither do he nor they, so we move forward cautiously and test each other. We can only get a glimpse of Cheng Xi's choice, staying at the moment when the dormitory door is opened, and we can only get a glimpse of the memories between Fang Sheng, Liu Min, and Cheng Xi. Is their story over? It's over, not over. His story with them may continue to move forward in a certain world, but we can only leave early and imagine his story with them at a certain moment. Then he hurriedly started his own story... It seems that if you use the original text, you really admire my ability to talk nonsense (laughs)
It's rare to see such a beautiful novel. I don't know if the author has ever thought about it, but this is a light novel set in China. The Chinese characteristics that are difficult to see in any novel are perfectly displayed in this novel. Every character is vivid and powerful, as if they are living beside me... Just like every one of my high school classmates, just like my ordinary high school life.
I don't understand why such a good book only has a score of more than 7 points. In my opinion, 9.9 Is not an exaggeration. At present, we are always looking towards the future, imagining tomorrow while working hard, but often do not care about the current scenery. Those friends who laugh together, those girls you admire, will turn into regretful sighs or raised corners of the mouth after a few years. We like to read light novels, fantasy novels, and all kinds of stories. We put ourselves into their characters and feel their joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, because we, ordinary people, look forward to the day when we will have an extraordinary life. But aren't we the protagonists in our own stories?
