The So-Called Romance of a Pessimist

I hope to keep reading. The rest is just some criticism. It's very well written, the emotions are vivid, and it's easy to empathize. However... But it's infuriating. This shouldn't be called a pessimist's romance; it should be called a pessimist's misanthropy. I almost became depressed watching it, even though it was very eye-catching and kept me up all night.

I've been quite satisfied with the female lead recently. Ultimately, you have to love yourself the most. I hope she doesn't get entangled with her family members again later on; the female lead is beautiful on her own.

It's so good! I'm so frustrated. I'm so love-struck again, I don't know how many slaps I've gotten.

I really like the female lead. She's straightforward and says what's on her mind. I especially love that. Wasn't the ending supposed to be terrible? Didn't the female lead say she didn't trust the Shen family? Didn't the male lead also say he wouldn't let her go alone? How did she end up being kidnapped?

A surprisingly good book. A blend of crime and romance. Fast-paced, both the male and female leads are intelligent and not at all pretentious, plus a helpful older sister. While there are some frustrating moments, the overall feel is very refreshing. The only thing I don't understand is the female lead's overly complicated and ambiguous feelings towards her family of origin.

Objectively speaking, if this book didn't have the romance between the male and female leads, it could easily be hailed as a masterpiece if categorized as a crime thriller! It's great as a suspense novel, but reading it as a romance would be infuriating 🤭

One of the few good modern novels I've read in the past two years. The characters are well-developed, the structure is reasonable and the logic is clear. I really like the female lead's understated character; true love develops over time.

I love the female lead's straightforward and outspoken personality. Although the male lead is a bit eccentric and suffers from a heart attack, I still really enjoy the author's writing style. 💕💕💕

It's a really good book! The crime-solving is interspersed with the romance between the male and female leads. The female lead has a great personality; she doesn't get bogged down in things she doesn't care about, and she doesn't worry unnecessarily. Even though her family upbringing was tough on her, she remains strong, independent, and clear-headed.

It's supposed to be a romance, but the cases are captivating; it's supposed to be a crime-solving story, but the characters are also quite sweet. The plot is humorous and interesting, though the ending feels a bit rushed. I finished it without skipping any chapters, so I have to give it a good review.
