    A must-read realistic urban novel for those experiencing a reading slump! If you're tired of wish-fulfillment stories where the protagonist's life is a breeze, then "I Really Want to Love This World" is a must-read for late at night. There are no cheat codes, no forced happy endings, only the daily lives of working people, fleeting romances, and the quiet moments of love hidden in the everyday. The writing is restrained yet poignant, depicting the comings and goings of life, four women, four regrets, and the hesitation, guilt, and helplessness in adult love. The male lead is imperfect, even indecisive, but it's precisely this realism that allows countless readers to see their own confusion reflected in him. The heartbreak is real, the unsettling feeling is real, and you'll find yourself unable to move on long after finishing. For those who love realistic romance, give it a try!
