Please, Give Me a Male Lead with a Normal Personality 🙏🙏🙏
Lately, every novel I've read has a male lead who's either a yandere or turns evil later on. Can I get one who's normal for a change, and a female lead with a brain, please!!! If I keep reading novels like these, I'm really going to lose it. I'm too scared to even get a boyfriend now.

Reading Guide: 1. High school romance, girl pursues boy, 1v1, both are virgins. A cocky, talkative little sun * a cold, gentle moon. The couple is Sun and Moon; their being together is a bright future haha =v= 2. Key points: This is a slice-of-life story, a bit slow-paced, slightly silly, with a small ensemble cast. The author is open to interaction; comments will unlock rewards!
This book is generally considered sweet, but that only applies to the side stories. The scene that impressed me most was when the female lead's father attended her parent-teacher conference, and the male lead's mother brought her younger brother. The brother was terrified and cried, saying the uncle was scary.
The characters are incredibly well-developed and three-dimensional, the writing style is delicate, and the words are powerful. Several times I couldn't help but want to cry 😢. It's something I'd love to read again. I used to be lazy and didn't like writing book reviews, but I feel that this little sun, Xu Yuan Bao Bao, not only illuminates the people around her but also the readers, giving them…
The writing is incredibly delicate, with excellent characterization of the male and female leads. The male lead is such a pitiful character; as he himself says, he's not as good as he seems. The details are beautifully portrayed. His misfortunes haven't made him a bad person; instead, they've made him a wise and compassionate individual.
It's so good! The extra chapter about Qian Qian was really heartbreaking; it left a seed of regret in my heart. I thought they could still be friends, but by the end, they had less and less contact, almost becoming strangers. I felt so sorry for Qian Qian. He finally found a ray of light, but a cloud hid it away.
"Because I dare not speak my love aloud, I bless you amidst the clamor of the crowd." Wow, it's so good! Whether it's the mutual pursuit between Yuan Yuan and Empress Jiang, the friendship between Jiang Jiang and Yuan Yuan, the sibling bond between the two, or the unrequited love between Qian Qian and Gu Yi, everything is written so well that it feels like you're right there in the book watching…
Wow! The author's writing is absolutely amazing, and I absolutely love this girl-chasing-boy trope!! The female lead is so outgoing, like a little sun, and the author's portrayal of the unrequited love is incredibly delicate; the male lead is the perfect combination of my ideal type – aloof and gentle senior!! Keep up the good work, author, I hope this book becomes a huge hit!!
The author's writing is superb, with incredibly delicate emotions. The friendship between Yuan Yuan and Jiang Jiang is enviable; they are each other's support. Yuan Yuan and Yue Yue, Jiang Jiang and Jin Yue—they are all wonderful people. And then there's Gu Yi and Qian Qian; their group portrait is truly enviable. Each of them is the best version of themselves, and they are all wonderful friends.
I gained a bright mood and the courage to strive for improvement from this book. It's not just about a young girl's feelings, but also about the harmonious family ties during her youth, the simple yet steadfast friendships, and the subtle influence of teachers' kindness. Life is not always smooth sailing; there are always turning points where one hesitates and wavers.
From following the story to its finale, it was truly hard to say goodbye. The Diary of Unrequited Love was bittersweet, but thankfully the ending was sweet. Unrequited love doesn't always have a response, but wishes made for unrequited love will see the light. Because of Empress Jiang, the wishing well will grant wishes.
