It's very good, it's so sweet to me. Although it's a science fiction movie to me, it might as well be a trailer for you. I hope all sincere secret loves will come true. Finally, pure love nb! 😢
Overall it's good, the characters are well drawn. The portrayal of the character Ye Zhouhong is particularly good. The inferiority complex in the article is very delicately portrayed, and the inner activities are written very realistically. I can't stop thinking about others and think that others see me in the same way. Zhou Zhiyu, who is not too distant but not too close, is the best. He approaches carefully step by step. With Xu Qingyan's fierce assist, it feels comfortable.
This book has received rave reviews! It describes the inferiority complex of a secret love very well. Sometimes I really want to ask the male protagonist why he has such low self-esteem. After thinking about it later, it seems that this is what secret love is like. He is cautious, for fear that if he is not careful, the relationship will end. The female protagonist is very proactive, but unfortunately the male protagonist is too inferior (stuck) Look how long it lasted
Write hard for me, it's not enough. In fact, this is the first time I have read this kind of campus love story. I used to read all-male videos such as The City of Strange Beasts, The Demon Suppressing Pass, and The Eater of Gods. This is the first time I read a youth campus story. Maybe I have a crush experience myself, so I can relate to many of the plots. It's like watching my stupid self and her wanting to catch up, and thinking of those sour thoughts... I want to buy Osmanthus fragrant wine with me, but in the end it's not the same as Teenage Travel. The person who writes the book is writing a story, and the person who reads the book is recalling the past.
My favorite secret love story. The girl I like is like Xu Qingyan. Unfortunately, I missed Xu Qingyan, and Xu Qingyan didn't choose me. This novel makes up for the regret of being friends with "Xu Qingyan".
Xuantian personally feels that he is quite excellent. Although this book borrows many plots from "Coward" and "Ordinary People", it has the feeling that one is better than the other. He is unique in many plots. Although the main tone has not changed, you can still feel the extraordinary happiness when you savor it carefully. Let me tell you what I like better! First of all, compared to the previous two books, this book has more delicate emotional descriptions. Secondly, I really like the character Xu Qingyan. There is a sense of tenderness like Shen Youchu, which is really fatal! Finally, compared to the small sense of happiness in the ordinary life of "Ordinary People", the plot is more ups and downs, and it is easier to retain readers. It depends on the readers' personal preferences. As for the bad points, Zhang and Ye are too outrageous. This is the only bad point. However, I don't recommend modifications. You can just follow your own ideas, as I said before, break away after college. The above is Xuantian's opinion on this book. Since there are only about forty chapters that reflect my current status, the book review is relatively short, so please forgive me. Let's look at the duration.
The author's writing is still very good. To be honest, I found it a bit depressing. I don't like watching this kind of thing. I'm quite tired from work 🤦. It's just because the writing is so good that it attracted me to keep reading. I hope the male protagonist can have a good ending. The rhythm of the whole book is very heavy. Can the author try to lighten up some places, such as singing and speaking? He can describe it more carefully and write a deeper artistic conception, otherwise it will be a bit like a running account. But depression shows how much pressure the protagonist is under. My humble opinion
The content of the book is very good. If you like campus youth, you can follow it. In fact, it fits the campus style very well. Support - affirmation from high school students 😘 👍 👍 👍 👍 I spent 27 hours of studying to test poison for major book friends, and I deserve recognition [laughing]
It's awesome. I feel like the plot is even better than "Coward". I like this kind of youthful literary pain of mutual crush but will eventually become fruitful. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Regret always runs through the tone of youth. In this novel, the author uses delicate brushstrokes to portray Ye Zhouhong, an extremely complex character. He has a special family situation, but is optimistic and cheerful in daily life; he longs to escape from his original family, but dare not resist his parents' arrangements; he has a crush on Bai Yueguang and Zhou Zhiyu, but retreats when the relationship progresses; he always reminds himself that there is a huge gap between the two, but he is greedy for beautiful love. But this is what I love about this character. He has low self-esteem and cowardice, but the time of confusion and internal friction is very short. After encountering difficulties, he can always adjust himself in a very short period of time, pack up and move on. He is gentle to others and has obvious personal growth. And Zhou Zhiyu stood out to me even more. She is different from the basically stereotyped image of Bai Yueguang in previous novels. She has obvious changes before and after the novel, especially the most obvious external performance (achievements) in Chinese campus novels. Of course, the group portrait description is also a must-have part of this novel. This novel gave me a different feeling from other Chinese campus romance novels. The most obvious point is that the overall style is more relaxed than other novels of the same type. The overall reading experience is not so depressing and painful, the pace is brisk, and the colors are bright (even a bit like the early reading of female campus youth campus novels), but the overall framework is a realistic Chinese campus crush novel, so this is the biggest highlight of this book. In this book, you can read about the secret love of inferiority complex in Chinese campus, the pressure of family environment and the repression of campus study, but the most ingenious thing is the author's arrangement of the plot. These "painful" plots of other Chinese campus novels are relatively minor in this book, because the action plot is close together, so the viewing experience will be much better.
