    Reader note

    The first book is delicately written; two lovers are separated by various trivialities, but reunited after being reborn, their sincere love bringing them together again. I didn't read the rest. I didn't like the other female lead. The second book is about the struggle between desire and reason; the ex-girlfriend isn't a stereotypical, mindless regretter, but rather someone drowning in self-destruction and the pursuit of both spiritual and material fulfillment amidst reality's decline. The third book is full of youthful energy. The fourth book has a very standard regret-themed plot, a classic among classics, but the characters are delicately described, and the conflicts are relatively reasonable. The fifth book is a difficult-to-judge plot with twists and turns, a meticulously crafted revenge story; "Regret? No, you can't, you might as well die." The sixth book is like finding gold in stone, with eccentric male and female leads, quite unique.
