Ordinary Me, Living an Ordinary Life 现实的生活和普通的我
I chose this title because the story is mainly about real life as it is today, with little imagination involved. The protagonist is an ordinary person, even a bit of a mess. It mainly follows the family life of a gay man, his life at school, and a girl he likes. Some parts may not connect very well, since they're based on things that happened a long time ago and I don't remember them clearly. I may write more about them later. Thanks for reading ^ω^

I write for people with trauma and psychological disorders. All my books are trauma narratives aimed at a niche audience. If you complain that the candle at the bottom of the pit doesn’t shine as brightly as the sun, or that the plot isn’t satisfying enough and the characters aren’t impressive enough, it’s not me pushing these books on you. You picked the wrong genre. I’d like to take them down and be done with it too, but the rules are different for completed novels. Niche books aren’t affected
