   Reader note

   These are all short stories I've read in the last few days. I read the first one twice; it's a mix of sweet and heartbreaking. The second one is extremely tragic; the female lead is very unfortunate, suffering domestic violence (from her father), the deaths of her grandmother and mother, and being diagnosed with a terminal illness. Fortunately, she meets the male lead and her best friend. In the third one, the female lead has a crush on the male lead and they get together, but then there's a conflict. She goes abroad to study, meets someone else, and upon returning home, realizes she can't let go, and they eventually reconcile. In the fourth one, the female lead has a crush on the male lead, and he later reciprocates her feelings but makes a bet with someone else and starts a relationship with another girl. Due to a misunderstanding, they break off their friendship. Years later, they meet again; the male lead is getting married, and the female lead confesses her feelings. She also meets someone else. In the fifth one, the female lead has a crush on the male lead for many years. To be with him, she repeats a year of high school. In university, the male lead spends time with her, falls for her, and pursues her. They eventually get together. (The male lead's mother and the female lead's mother are friends.) The sixth book is also quite tragic, but I don't remember it very clearly because it's been a long time. The male lead gets a terminal illness and distances himself from the female lead. After learning the truth, the female lead commits suicide. In the seventh book, the female lead loves the male lead very much, and the male lead also has feelings for her. Due to a manipulative woman instigating the male lead to constantly mistreat the female lead, he learns the truth after her death and is filled with remorse. In the last book, the male lead is a policeman. They first meet when the female lead is harassed and reports it to the police. They fall in love with each other, and the male lead dies on a mission before their marriage while saving a child.

    If you're looking for a angst-filled novel, the kind that leaves you feeling empty and reeling for days, then this is for you! It's not the kind of gratuitous, industrial-grade angst, but rather a… slow, exquisite despair. You'll follow the main characters from their initial fervent belief, to their growing unease, and finally, the collapse of their faith. Most importantly, the author's writing is like an icicle; the more heartwarming the beautiful scenes, the more brutally they are shattered later. Every character in this ensemble will tug at your heartstrings; their tragedies aren't accidents, but the inevitable result of this cold, unforgiving world. The pacing is slow, but each stroke is like a slow, agonizing cut; the novel premise will both captivate and chill you to the bone. A hidden gem from a new author, a niche but definitely a top-tier angst novel!
