Seque, our Seque is fragrant and soft. Ahem, to be serious, little Aylin should have grown up. As described above, this should be a two-way redemption story. We cannot expect the heroine to change the hero with such an appearance. I hope there will be some reinforcement in the subsequent plot. Well, I can accept the knife to the end, after all, I am an old paper man (
So the article on changing marriage is relatively old, but this kind of subject matter is really new, and if it is well written, it should become very popular. 💕 Return to the theme and update soon!!! I want to see the heroine become darker 🥰
I really like this serious style of writing. There are too many jokes or gossips in Tomato. Although it is interesting at first, it becomes more interesting after a long time. The narrative logic is very clear and not boring. From the protagonist's first escape from school, being kidnapped in a small mountain village, the battle of wits and courage with Olga, the last friend is killed and dragged to the auction, etc. The interesting plot rhythm is arranged just right so that there will be no vacuum period in the plot halfway, which will lead to boredom. It is so exciting. The knife should be unambiguous. Apart from the Minotaur abuse plot (the scene where Mira died was still too funny, but the fact that the main perspective is not on Rex alleviates this), the tolerance is quite strong, so my personal feeling is a plus. The transformation of the protagonist can be seen bit by bit. From being confused and cowardly at the beginning to being soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she gradually turned into what she thought a female image should be like. Many characters, including the protagonist, are relatively three-dimensional. Although I watched it for fun at the beginning, after watching it for a long time, I actually wish that the protagonist was a girl from the beginning. All in all, I recommend it 9 out of 10. The abuse is not particularly sad. It feels like growth is the main theme. Also, so much ink has been spent on Luo Yang. It would be a pity to keep such a character. I hope to see him out more in the future.
The author writes it very well. I really like the character of the heroine. She is weak at the beginning but gradually becomes stronger later on, and she never changes her kindness. The inner psychological description is very delicate. The story between the heroine, the hero and Mira is really sad. It was really hard to see the two of them dead. But I still hope Luo Yang can have more scenes. And although it feels unlikely, I still hope to see the story of Luo Yang and the heroine redeeming each other.
This is my first time writing a long review. How should I put it? At first, I thought it would be that kind of AI saccharine, but later it turned out to be very realistic. It seems that fate has been predestined, but everyone's struggle and pain are real, heavy and unswerving. Miracles shine here, but darkness follows them like a shadow. The character creation is the best in any book I have read. Everyone is controlled by a plan and can't help but do things they don't want to do, but it also reflects everyone's personality. In short, for me personally, this is a book that is uncomfortable to read but I turn two pages every time. I hope the author can persevere.
This is an unforgettable and moving story. I always hope that everything will get better, but I always fall to the bottom when the dawn first appears; I climb to the sky again and again, and fall again and again. It took a week to catch up with the large army, and the story was coming to an end, and I couldn't help but feel a little lonely in my heart. Finally, I would like to express some hopes for the ending of the story: "At the end of the story, may we all meet again at the end of the fragrant west wind!" See you tomorrow.
It's understandable that the male protagonist has low self-esteem, but for today's readers, it may have been a bit long. Although the reasons for the development of the male and female protagonist's personalities are revealed later, it should have been brought up at the beginning. The infighting part in the middle feels like it took too much space to separate and write. The current reading is a bit flat. Maybe the story has not been developed yet, so it is still readable. I hope the author can work hard. Now that I see it, I feel that all our characters except the heroine are really like disposable contact lenses. They are just inferior to the level of disposable contact lenses that are thrown away every day, every month, and every year. I feel that if it is shaped like this, it will be unreasonable for the heroine not to destroy the world. Let kind people give up themselves to the bottom line, and everyone will be regarded as evil. It feels like a story of shaping the devil king.
This western fantasy dark novel really won my heart. It fulfills many wishes at once 😄, but I personally feel that it is not dark enough, and our Erin is not desperate enough. I really want to see Erin's evil fall, and see how she can only witness the destruction of all the good things around her, her friends die because of her, and the devil controls her life. As a beautiful canary whose mouth was gagged, she couldn't even scream hysterically, leaving only silent despair.
I am very grateful to the author for persisting in writing this book. This is really one of my favorite books in recent years. Writing about abuse and remarriage is undoubtedly a thankless job in this era, but for me, these two themes are what I love. I like that the protagonist slowly matures from ignorance and experience all kinds of unbearable blows, from weak to strong, and slowly makes a comeback in desperate situations, and these are things that other brainless novels cannot bring to me. I like that both the female protagonist and the male protagonist will focus on the description instead of always focusing on one party. This is something that traditional male protagonist novels cannot bring. The author wrote just the right amount of abuse, which made me feel very heartbroken without making me very angry or even disgusted. Along the way, little Eileen encountered many people and things, many sad things, but also many happy things. So far, there are three male characters who have fallen in love with Little Irene. It is true that they all love Little Irene, but there are more or less unacceptable points for me, and they have not achieved the perfect male protagonist image in my mind. However, it is good that little Irene is happy at the moment. Unfortunately, the content written in the current few chapters clearly tells me that this relationship will not be smooth sailing. Although tragedy is more impressive, I want little Irene to have a happy ending. I hope the author can keep writing. I want to continue to watch the various experiences of little Irene until the end of the story.
I really like the adventure experience of Erin and "Brave Rex" and Mira~ It's really interesting. I believe that evildoers will eventually be punished, and those who love life will also get their own "love, friendship, and companions." Finally, I wish the cute little "Eileen" to have ten babies (hhh)
