It's really well-written, but it feels very depressing and makes me feel uncomfortable while reading it.
The book is quite good. The male protagonist is clearly starting to change from being childish, like the sunrise and sunset. The female protagonist's transformation is also obvious. If I'm not mistaken, the author is from Anhui, and is a woman. Haha. If I'm not mistaken, the female lead and her ex-girlfriend might actually be sisters.
This is a very realistic novel. It depicts the author's helplessness in escaping, the confusion about the future, the helplessness of losing both love and career, and the powerlessness to help his brother suffer. This is truly the reality of this society. However, we don't have Cai Ling, Wan Xia, Zhang Ping, or Xia Xue by our side. We only have ourselves to silently endure it.
The content is very similar to the tenants' situation, no offense intended. The characters are very well-developed. In Xiang Yu, I see Le Yao and Li Xiaoyun, representing ordinariness and struggle. She deeply loves Chen Xi, but Chen Xi doesn't love her back. In Shu Yan, I see Jian Wei, representing regret. The two clearly love each other, but are separated by societal norms.
It took me a very long time to finish watching it. The characters are vivid. I haven't read The Tenant, but I felt the male lead gradually grows and feels close to reality. It's also very enjoyable and sometimes heart-wrenching. I think it's a great watch and I would recommend it to my friends. I have an idea: Can't I have both Wanxia and Cailing? It's like I never wanted to be reborn, and it's the same with two pregnancies. Finally, we'll hold a banquet. That's the idea.
The characters are vividly portrayed, and the writing is quite good. However, the male lead's personality is a bit stubborn; perhaps geniuses are always different. 🍉 But the ex-girlfriend and the current, supposedly female lead, are sisters (after all, their surname is Wan, and the author says they're from Anhui 😏) 😂 That's so awkward! Are there too many single people around?
The second million-word novel I finished reading had three very well-developed female characters: Shu Yan, Wan Xia, and Cai Ling. The plot was sweet with a touch of bittersweetness, but thankfully the ending didn't leave any regrets. It was just a bit short; I really wanted to see what happened next! 😢 The author's writing is truly excellent.
My initial impressions: I've read the first 150 chapters, including the ending, and will continue reading slowly. Overall, this book isn't top-tier, but it's quite good. On Taobao, it's definitely above average, though Taobao's traffic is definitely low. The author ending it early is normal; with low traffic and money, it's impossible to continue writing.
It's great, I really like this ending. As a newbie, I think: Xiao Cai's true love is unrestrained, innocent, and carefree; Xia's love is gentle, reserved, and warm; and Shu's love is enduring, passionate, and bold. The character development is excellent 🤔. The ending felt a little rushed, but it was still fulfilling.
I've read quite a few slice-of-life stories on Tomato, and I hope this book has a harem ending, giving each female lead a happy ending. Isn't this going to fall apart later on? At the beginning, Shu Yan was prepared to give up for her sister, but now she doesn't want to give up and is preparing to gamble everything. Whether Shu Yan succeeds or not, it won't end well.
