Kissing, hugging, sex. Things that had always felt so far beyond my reach somehow happened all at once, in the most absurd way imaginable. But isn't this a little too far from the normal way strangers meet? A hungover office worker is taken home by a high school girl, who drunkenly takes her first time. This is weird in every way, I thought, despairing. 741Reads—Score113Shelves

   I recommend author After200 [Admiration]. If you enjoy stories about beautiful girls, the gentle and unhurried pace of Japanese light novels, the slow-burning warmth of everyday life, and the delicate and realistic emotions, you can confidently jump in. If you read yuri but haven't tried Japanese light novels, you can experience the delicate realism of everyday life; if you read Japanese light novels but haven't tried yuri, the elegant and refreshing writing style and tenderly touching emotions make it a great introductory work for yuri; if you don't read either, how about this delicious pure love story; if you read both, then what more can you say, just read it! I don't believe Tomato's yuri readers would miss the author's previous masterpiece (Below Lovers). After reading the author's previous book, you can feel that the author is a person with literary cultivation and pursuit, and the novel has many structural layouts that surpass those of online novels. The reason why the author's book has poor ratings is simply because Tomato's yuri and Japanese light novel circles overlap slightly, but the author's writing skills far exceed the ratings. If you're tired of mindless, saccharine stories and still have your own expectations and aspirations for literature, then please savor the warmth in this book; you're sure to be moved.

   Both are ongoing Japanese light novels, but their writing styles are quite different. The first one is slower-paced, with both the male and female leads being Japanese. The male lead is socially awkward, and the female lead is rather aloof and doesn't like to communicate with people. It takes them quite a while to establish their relationship. The entire text is written in Chinese, without any Japanese, which is quite friendly to those who just want to read the plot. You can read it as a normal story. If you can enjoy a slow pace and want to read a Japanese light novel, you can check it out. The second one has a male lead who is a Chinese transfer student in Japan, and a Japanese female lead. Both of them are fluent in Chinese, Japanese, and English. The male and female leads haven't officially established a relationship yet, but they have some budding feelings for each other. This one is more like a formal Japanese light novel, written in multiple chapters like Japanese novels. Those who are used to reading Japanese novels written in volumes might find this style more familiar. There are a few small amounts of Japanese text used to describe specific things, but most of the Japanese dialogue is directly written in Chinese, just separated from normal Chinese dialogue by parentheses. Both are quite good, highly recommended! [Heart emojis]

   The first book isn't mindless; it has multiple female leads and a system, but it's only a supporting element. The writing style is excellent, and I highly recommend it.

The characters are well-developed, and both are quite good.

    You can check out these two. I recommend the first one more, because the second one might be a bit... Unpleasant. I've finished both of them, and there's definitely not too much angst (the first one has a little bit of angst, but it's okay). (The second one is a yandere story; it might be a bit depressing in the beginning, and there's not much sweetness later on, so consider carefully. There are four female leads, and my favorite is Chizuru.)
