   Reader note

   The writing style is quite good, neither drawn-out nor greasy, making it a very enjoyable and smooth read, especially the stage descriptions in the later stages, which are very vivid. The songs featured are all written by the author, which is excellent. The protagonist, Xie Qingyu, is a very well-developed character—gentle but not overly saintly, with a touch of cunning, very resilient, and possessing a very attractive personality. Based solely on his personality, I think he truly deserves the title of "heartthrob." Of course, he's also very handsome (except for a slight overuse of interjections and reduplicated words later on, but it's not a major flaw). As a heartthrob without a romantic pairing, Qingyu's relationships with each of his teammates are very engaging, diverse, though there's a slight bias, but the main characters are all well-developed. I want to reread this; overall, it's a very good story.
