    I highly recommend this one. The female lead suffers from severe depression, severe PTSD, is a high-IQ genius, a "Thousand Feathers" manga artist, and can even hypnotize the male lead who falls in love with her at first sight. However, they maintain a very respectful distance throughout the story. The author's writing is superb, and updates are frequent. The female lead is portrayed so vividly and realistically—it's rare to find such a vivid description. It's definitely worth it. The female lead, as written by the author, is truly heartbreaking. After reading this book, I suddenly felt like an idiot, not even 0.05 As smart as the female lead. This book, which I discovered by chance, made me feel like I'm capable again! Everyone should read it!!! It's incredibly good!

    These are the books I recommend. They all feature characters with depression. Book 15 is about working adults, while books 2, 3, and 4 are campus romances. Book 1 is a bit angsty, but you should check out books 2, 3, 4, and 5. They're redemption stories set in a campus setting, and they're really sweet and bittersweet. The male lead redeems the female lead and doesn't leave her. He knows she has depression, and he redeems and accompanies her, allowing them to blossom together. [Crying emoji]
