This book has an open ending. I thought the two of them would have a sweet ending, but it ended with the death of the protagonist. Although the ending returned to the starting point, it was really hard to read (╥╥). It seems that the two of them could only have that kind of ending, but the fallen life is also the beginning of new hope.
This book was so enjoyable to read; I finished it in one go. I couldn't keep reading those really long, angsty novels after a few chapters—the protagonist being misunderstood was so frustrating, it was suffocating! This one, with revenge and retribution, and the protagonist finding out early, is so great! The ending was also pretty good. Keep it up, author! Please release a new book soon!
Eight points, no more, no less, just right. If I had to give it two points, one would be for the abrupt ending, which felt a bit too rushed and left no warning; the other point would be for the protagonist's obsessive focus on romance, though the lack of character development only made it slightly uncomfortable to watch.
The ending was truly unexpected. The plot followed almost all familiar tropes, but what I liked most was the ending. I don't know why, but the last line, "Something was attracting him," and "What was it?" Really resonated with me. I felt that this ending really gave me a feeling of suddenly returning to the first time we met.
The author's writing is excellent, very beautifully written. And the unexpected ending really made me so happy! It wasn't like other mindless, angsty stories, just a bit mind-bending. This is one of the most satisfying stories I've read. However, the resurrection and death, resurrection and death again, is a bit excessive, but it doesn't detract from how enjoyable it is.
Very good. Although brief, it covers all the complexities of love, hate, life, and reincarnation. If developed in detail, it could be a magnificent epic. Moreover, the plot is full of twists and turns, thrilling and exciting, with unexpected reversals!
Highly recommended! Perfect for those who want a angst-filled read right from the start. The romance is fast-paced and doesn't drag on for too long, avoiding any ridiculous, drawn-out plot twists. The opening was right up my alley, and the pacing is quick – the kind of story you can finish in an hour. The characters and plot are great (≧∇≦*). The male lead isn't too awful either.
So cool! The protagonist is definitely not love-struck at all! They're so loving! So happy! After reading this, I feel like my brain has been re-evaluated! For those who like this book, I highly recommend "The White Snake"! It's just as good! Seriously!
Ah, it's angsty at the beginning, but sweet at the end. I like it.
This is really good, but I don't really like open endings because they're too mentally taxing. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to strain my brain while reading, since reading is supposed to be a form of entertainment. But this one is truly excellent, I highly, highly, highly recommend it! 🥰🥰
