The main character is very well-developed. The protagonist's mother hopes for an unhappy ending, ideally with the protagonist being taken away by his father (please don't criticize if you disagree).
It's so realistic, much more insightful than those mindless wish-fulfillment novels. It captures the love a mother has for her child and the generation gap, among other things. The only downside is that the book is a bit short right now that it's just started. I hope the author will update it more often. It was okay at first, but it got more and more frustrating later on.
Five stars! This book is amazing! Don't be misled by the title; the content is incredibly sweet, believe me, extremely sweet—so sweet it'll make you swoon.
It's even more heart-wrenching than angst novels, depicting all the suffering in the world. It contains glimpses of my own life, and I always end up crying while reading it. Sometimes I laugh, laughing at how naive I am. The protagonist suffers a million times more than I do, so what right do I have to complain?
The story was very well written; I love it this way. I could really empathize with the characters, and I couldn't stop crying. Holding back tears is so painful (T^T) (Sorry for writing my first review ≥≤)
This was my first time reading a tragic novel, and I almost cried my eyes out from the angst. Unfortunately, my writing skills are terrible, so all I can say is "Holy crap!" 😏 Actually, my family situation is somewhat similar to the protagonist's; I even sometimes think about suicide. Thinking about it, I feel like I'm being quite dramatic, but I still thank the author for giving me some inspiration. 😘 (Of course, most importantly, the essay topic is now settled [think about it])
May there be fewer parents like this in the world, and may all children have a certain degree of freedom of choice! 🙏 This book is also very well written, depicting the interactions between parents and children in real life, and reflecting how the "fortresses" deep within children's hearts are gradually destroyed by their so-called relatives. Although I don't know what the final fate of Li Qingchen and his mother will be, I still hope the ending will be somewhat open-ended! 🙏🙏🙏
Well, this book has many advantages. However, its shortcomings are also obvious. For example, although the protagonist is a time traveler, he doesn't have that mature air about him. But I think this kind of shampoo is pretty good, and the Li Chulu portrayed in the article doesn't seem like a biological mother at all.
This book is very well written, author, keep it up! However, I probably won't continue reading. One personal reason is that I'm currently preparing for my high school entrance exam and need to maintain a good mood. So, author, let's work hard together! You keep writing, and I'll keep studying. I might come back to read it after the exam!
It's so sweet! I specifically read the last chapter, and it's not as angsty as some people in the comments said. It's incredibly sweet; the male and female leads get married and have a child, living a very happy and fulfilling life. Highly recommended! Many of the comments are just deliberately inflating the ratings; don't believe them. It's not angsty at all!!! It's incredibly sweet! You absolutely have to read to the very last chapter!
