   I've been suffering from a reading slump for over half a year, but these two books have been incredibly popular, temporarily curing my slump. The author of the first book is really good at writing about yandere characters; the back-and-forth between the two is so captivating [smile]. Especially the part where the female lead travels back in time—that back-and-forth is just divine! The only downside is that it's not finished yet. The second book is also great. I'm the kind of person who only enjoys stories with long-awaited reunions and reconciliations; I can't stand purely sweet parts. But this one is completely different [laughs]. I was totally engrossed in the sweet beginnings (because the male and female leads are constantly bickering). The foreshadowing is brilliantly done, making you want to keep reading. Oh my god, I'm saved! I haven't even reached the part where the female lead fakes her death yet, I'm so excited! It's so good! [Licking screen][licking screen][licking screen]

    Both of these are about 1. A cultivation world where the female protagonist fakes her death but is actually dead and then comes back to life (I think that's how it is, I can't remember exactly); or 2. A female protagonist who is 18 years old and gets into a car accident and travels to 11 years in the future, during which the male protagonist thinks about her every day. Both books are very good, and the authors' writing styles are also quite good.
