   Hehe, I'm dying from all the angst! (^-^) I'm currently in a state of wanting to read it but being afraid to. (^-^) Both books are extremely, extremely, extremely good, but they're so angsty that I haven't read them for two weeks. I want to read them but I'm afraid of getting angsty again (although Jingyan's writing is very good, please be kind to me, Raven! *Crying*). Both books are without romance and have a lot of foreshadowing in the early stages. The main character in the first book is so cute, I was really charmed at first (//∇//), a sunny and cheerful little raven (heh, not later on, *bitter smile*). Everyone in the first book is such a good person, I basically love them all! Ensemble characters are great! I think this world needs idealists to outline the blueprint and realists to build the skyscraper. The writing is incredibly powerful; every dungeon made me cry buckets… The second book was a pseudonym, and from the very beginning, I felt a strong sense of immersion. It didn't feel like acting; each character was a vibrant individual (though thinking about it later, that's a fair interpretation, haha). It felt like the world was utterly corrupt, but with such a wonderful group of people, it seemed they deserved to be saved? Anyway, who invented the savior?! Saving the world isn't just the responsibility of one group, it's the responsibility of all humanity!! Okay, now it's just madness (Please, please stop killing Xiao Zhou!! Why should a little crow save the world? Why should such a wonderful group of people save the world? *Cries*) (No, no, no, I'm undoubtedly heartbroken. The Tower of Babel is like a bitter melon base!

I can't take it anymore, it hurts even more!)

    Jiang Yuan was dying. 🎈🎈 She lay in her hospital bed, drowsily watching the snow fall outside the window. Unwilling to accept her fate, Jiang Yuan laboriously picked up her phone and tapped on her father's profile picture. Her hand trembled as she scrolled up; the screen was filled with messages, almost entirely her own monologue. From her initial angry questioning to her later desperate pleas, all she wanted was for him to come and see her. 👍👍 Just one look, at least so she wouldn't have to leave so alone; she would be afraid on the road to the underworld. But the only replies were impatient and perfunctory. Finally, his patience seemed to have completely run out, and he stopped replying altogether. Jiang Yuan slowly opened her father's 🚌🚌 WeChat Moments. It was filled with the image of a girl, and also the person she hated most—Qiao Zhenzhen. This somewhat old-fashioned man had documented almost every moment of her growth, calling her his cloyingly "my darling daughter." At least, he never called her that: when he was in a good mood, he used the repeated character of her name, Yuan Yuan; when he was in a bad mood, he called her by her full name, Jiang Yuan, in a cold and perfunctory tone. But when it came to Qiao Zhenzhen, every post on his WeChat Moments was a blatant display of favoritism.

    The first one... Well... I haven't finished it yet because I'm easily moved to tears. I only read a little over 100 chapters and I was already crying so much I almost broke down. I'm planning to take a break and read the second one later... Well, it's a pretty good book, but the ending... It felt like a rushed ending. However, the line "The world is fake, but love is real" is still there. The protagonist has the ability to be lucky, but the price is countless losses. His whole family dies, from his grandmother to his parents, and then he kills his own sister. In short, the writing is very good, it's a pity about the ending.

    The first book is a pure love story between two men. The beginning is exhilarating, the middle is heartbreaking, and the ending is sweet. The second book is so poignant; I hope Xiao Yu finds happiness! (Boys' Love) The third book is also a boys' love story, with a slight historical element and cryptography. The possibility of a tragic ending with Allen could arise at any moment (but I think the complete Allen died in the Gray Tower). The fourth book is a heterosexual romance; it's very depressing, but I couldn't cry—a suffocating kind of discomfort.
