Class of 2023 graduate x the four provinces north of the Yellow River x high school life now in the past x plain writing x chaotic perspectives x can't write novels x laid-back author working hard to write and print copies to give to friends [Revising the story, check the chapter notes. Currently revising Volume Two~]
No outline, no backlog, no character bios. This story came purely from a sudden whim, and its development is just as unpredictable as my own high school life was.
Why do people say youth is beautiful? I think that's nonsense. I went to school north of the Yellow River, and I have too many regrets to talk about.
So I pulled together a few words and made up some names, letting them run through my uneventful youth to make up for the regrets I had.
But they were lucky. The silhouettes that once raced through the corridors became memories worth looking back on.
The crabapple tree outside the window stayed with them year after year.
As the cicadas' cries faded, the young people who had worked hard together finally pieced together a complete admission letter. When they met again, they all said, "You again!"
Beneath a night sky that turns mountains, rivers, and seas upside down, there's always someone to watch the countless scattered stars with you.
May every young person who grows up here shine like a diamond.
May time treat everyone gently.
With thanks
Let me give myself a review! This is something I wrote about my high school years; you could call it a memoir, but the characters are fictional. I wanted to write about the sweet friendships between boys, the delicate warmth between girls, the interesting teachers, and the various dramas that would unfold at school.
The sentences are all beautiful. The author's introduction emphasizes a truthful and unpretentious perspective, but it's a bit disorganized and requires careful reading. Author, you've been writing this book for almost a year now, haven't you? And it's still not finished! [What?] I'm looking at Volume 3, and the time span between Volumes 1 and 2 is quite large. I personally prefer the later parts.
The novel has a good plot and excellent writing; it's worth looking forward to.
I've finished reading this book. How should I, a seasoned bookworm, rate it? It's brilliant, truly brilliant. The plot is logical, engaging, not exaggerated, touching, and many details are thought-provoking.
Excellent! It's really well-written, not the same old formula, and refreshing. It makes you want to get hooked, and it's definitely worth it.
Nothing more to say, it's simply a great read. The author is a skilled storyteller, the content is clear, and the character descriptions are excellent.
The writing is excellent. Reading it felt like reliving my high school days; I could see echoes of many classmates and friends. Even ordinary people like us have our own stories.
This is brilliantly written. I wish the author will soon become a god-like figure.
This is so well-written, it's addictive! Let's give the author a thumbs up!
The author's writing is excellent, and each character is portrayed very well, allowing readers to truly experience the story. It's definitely one of the best works on Tomato!
