[Contemporary setting + one-third Western fantasy + no romance + female protagonist’s perspective + ensemble of women + strong female lead
One-sentence summary: The story of three women from different eras struggling and fighting back in their own lives.
Life is a steep uphill road, and invisible rules drag us all downward.
But the road is even harder for girls to climb, because it’s full of all kinds of sweet traps.
Love, family, and affection tied to money...
There’s even a voice at the bottom of the pit, like a siren’s, constantly tempting them:
Why make life so hard? Give up. What’s wrong with following the rules and lying back in comfort?
Ojetta, in 1905, says, “I don’t want to become numb trash that blends into its surroundings.”
Princess Hilda in the picture book says, “To hell with those stupid rules!”
Qiu Yanhui, in 2023, says, “I refuse. I won’t accept this, and I won’t do it.”
So why do we keep struggling to move forward?
Because those who climbed up before us have become the stars and moon that light our way, and because we, too, can become stars that illuminate the road for those who come after us.
(P.S. This isn’t a mindless power fantasy, and there may be some angst along the way. If that bothers you, please don’t read.)
Big cheers for the author! I really like this kind of female growth story! Every character in the three different time and spaces is very vivid. Qiu Qiu and Odette are serious when facing serious matters, but gentle and eager in front of people close to them. They are both gentle and strong. Hida and Garnett are lively, kind-hearted and have their own personalities, and can adapt to emergencies. Hida also continues to grow during the adventure. Although he has seen the sinister nature of people, he still maintains his original intention, is still kind, and is still righteous. I really like the story of Hida and Garnet! Hida is no longer the squeamish princess who screams in pain when her feet are touched by stones. She has become a knight of Garnet! Finally, the author really cheers! Don't, don't, don't abandon the book!!! Although I am very poor, I can watch advertisements every day to support you ٩(๛ ˘ ³˘)۶♥😘
It's a very good book [laughs]. I really like these stories about women from different time and space, different eras, and different countries. They did not lower their heads for the big and small things in life, but resisted in their own way.
It's an excellent book. I have mixed feelings when I see more and more real female videos. Come on, sister 😢
A truly meaningful book, much better than some books with so-called heroines. It's strange that no one is watching?
Who put it in the post about two lesbian heroines 🙂 I've finished reading the latest update. Except for the one in the Western Fantasy world, there is no relationship progress in the other two worlds. I quit and read the introduction. The sky is falling, but I still like it very much, don't wear colored glasses, add it to the bookshelf
This is a story told in a picture book. Three different people narrate their growth. The Hida depicted by Odette may not be a reflection of her. The exploration of people runs from Odette to Yanhui. Until now, the path of exploration is still endless. Although this is an answer and exploration of women, but if you look closely, it may not be a struggle and exploration of everything in society. Perhaps, because women are themselves and the roots of this continuation of society. Every story is wonderful, and the subtle connections in it are very moving in my opinion. No matter when and where, we are still fighting, look at you, look at me. I like Odette very much. The gentle and powerful core she gradually develops has a great influence on everyone, including me. I don't have enough experience, and I have been searching for information in the background while reading that period of history. The author's profound interpretation gave me a new way of thinking about that period of history. But I'm thinking that if these stories were described more and divided, they would be even more magnificent. But when I thought about it, why did she have to expand what she wanted? We are already small, and so is the story. Finally, we ended with a picture book, on this unstoppable road, like Xida, describing a future that we cannot foresee. (Looking forward to the next one!)
Beautiful (○`ε´○) Super beautiful, author, I love you so much
