Synopsis

(This is a female-oriented story, a female-oriented story! The male lead’s point of view in a female-oriented story!)

(Everyone’s darling + Honkai: Star Rail + Genshin Impact + High-Cloud Quintet + joins the main plot in later arcs. The early chapters are all about everyday interactions, making up for the High-Cloud Quintet’s regrets Σ(|||▽||| ). The protagonist is a Teyvat native who ends up in Honkai: Star Rail.)

[Look, it’s the new merch for the Cloud-Gathering, Feather-Shattering Immortal Lord!]

[Aaah, he’s so cute and so strong! I want to adopt the Immortal Lord!]

[Don’t miss the love-hate relationship between the Immortal Lord and the High-Cloud Quintet!]

In some corner, a little crane clutches a roll of bread and listens in a daze as the storyteller recounts his love-hate relationship with the High-Cloud Quintet.

“Who? Me???”

“Let me explain! They’re my dear friends!”

Xianzhou natives: We get it, we get it. You want to play pretend, right? You call each other dear friends in public, then have heart-to-heart talks in private~

The little crane, shocked, flees aboard the Astral Express in the middle of the night!

But his dear friends keep showing up in the strangest places and casually saying, “Hey, long time no see~”

The little crane: Is this whole world one giant High-Cloud Quintet?

(The synopsis doesn’t do it justice. Go read the story.)

The author gives themselves a five-star rating (ﾉωﾉ). There's no romance in the main story, but you can ship any pairings. I'll consider adding more couples in the side stories based on what you want in the comments (*'▽'*)♪ The protagonist is a bit naive and innocent at the beginning because he's still a little kid, but he'll become more innocent later on (what?).

It's super good, and the author updates very frequently. Yun Wu's daily life is also very heartwarming (let's skip the part where he goes drunk 🙂). In short, it's really good! 😘🥰

Good read, I loved it, I read dozens of chapters in one night. It's heartwarming, with no major flaws, and the author is very diligent and active. The main characters are the darlings of the group, very cute. There's no romance in the main story, but it's very easy to ship them. The main characters themselves have many plot points, I look forward to them being resolved later.

Mianmian is so cute, Yuanyuan is so cute too, Danfeng is still as crazy as ever, Diandao is pretty crazy too, and Yingxing has such a wifely vibe during her time with her 😏 Mianmian's interactions with everyone are so sweet, it's just that there are occasionally some thorns mixed in.

I'd like to give the author full marks first; the character of Xiao Mianyue is very well-developed. She's an adorable little crane.

After reading for so long, I suddenly remembered to add a positive review. Mianmian is absolutely adorable, with a slightly adorable, innocent charm. I also really love the character of Yun Wu. So far, there haven't been any major flaws, except for the occasional unexpected angst—it's like a bittersweet story, but at least better than the ones I've read that were all sweetness and pain.

It's really good (♥∀♥). It's just that the beginning is a bit awkward, and there are some parts in the middle that are a little hard to connect with, but it's still very good and worth watching. 🤔 New review: The slice-of-life scenes are so heartwarming! Author, have you finally remembered you're a sweet, doting author? I'm going to devour it all! And please, stop with the hidden daggers, huh? Like, every girl I like dies, right? 🙂

This book is very well written, with both sweet and bitter moments, and the handling is excellent. I especially liked Danfeng's mental state. Overall, the book is very good and I recommend reading it, although there are some heart-wrenching parts.

1. The book's content is very interesting. 2. The characters are well-developed. 3. It's not out of character (OOC). The only downside is the somewhat inconsistent update schedule. I hope these three points can be maintained, but I really, really hope your update schedule can be more stable.

Excellent, very good. The author's character portrayals are delicate and realistic, and the plot has both sweet and heart-wrenching moments, all well-coordinated. Danfeng's beautiful mental state is especially relatable; after all, who doesn't go crazy when they're in school or working? It's just a matter of putting on a brave face 🤦
